- I saw an OB from my doctor's office (not my regular doctor) yesterday. When she measured me, she said I was measuring 37 weeks, which was up THREE WEEKS from Friday, when I measured 34 weeks. I am currently 33w5d. I also lost three pounds since...
- So I am 33w4d today. I have been on bed rest for the last week for elevated blood pressure and excessive swelling, so I am at the OB every Tuesday and Friday. Long story short, on Friday I was 33w, measuring about a week ahead at 34w. This was...
