I'm cursed with big babies! Yes, I know this is a good thing normally, but my poor uterus is so stretched out it's like I can hear it screaming in agony. Like times my ballet teachers used to stretch my leg back and it hurt a ton and I would want it to stop really badly! My fundal length is 43cm, just for some perspective a full-size/full-term fundal length is 40cm and many women don't even hit that. It wouldn't be so bad if I was at the end, but I'm only at 33 weeks on Sunday. My doctors are aiming for 36-37 weeks for a delivery, but they want me to make it until 34 weeks at the very least. Sometimes I feel like this has got to be some crazy joke- I can't roll over to different sides in bed without massive pain, and the pressure is so bad it's hard to walk for more than a few paces. As a result I recently got a sweet hookup from my physical therapist- a walker. It helps a ton. Looks like a wheelchair is the future as well. Maybe a stretcher too...

You're going to have to email me first 'cause I can't find your profile to get your email!!! michelleabarker@gmail.com
You'll be great!!! You have the BEST attitude as usual. I miss our college days (and ALL the previous years before that)!!!
I love you, Melissa. You're an inspiriation to us all.
It's so cool to see that baby counter saying 7 weeks left. I know it's not easy but it will be so worth all the trouble you have gone through to be able to deliver healthy babies. Keep up the good work and think of all the material you are collecting to write a really wonderful personal history.
43cm. awesome! nice work melissa.
don't go jumping off the coffee table just yet :)
awesome walker!
