36 weeks: OB appointment

Pregnancy Weight: 54 kg
Baby Position: Head down
Stats: 2.5cm dilated
Belly Measurement:32 cm
Stretch marks: a lot! *boo* I now have some on my boobs too

So, we have started our weekly OB visitation schedule. There was some blood when Dr. Grace did the internal exam but she said not to worry about it. It should stop after a day or two. She also wanted me to have an ECG.

our baby's development according to babycenter.com.ph:
Your baby is still gaining weight - about an ounce/ 28 grams a day. She weighs nearly 6 pounds/ 2.7 kilograms and is 19 inches/ 45 centimeters long from head to toe. 

You may begin to feel an increased pressure in your lower abdomen and notice that your baby is gradually dropping. This is called lighteningor engagement, and your lungs and stomach will finally get a chance to stretch out a little - breathing and eating should become easier. However, walking may become increasingly uncomfortable - some women say it feels as if the baby is going to fall out. Also, you may still feel as if you need to go to the toilet all the time.
