According to the experts, baby should be just over three to four pounds by now and should measure about 16 inches long. Baby now has toenails, fingernails, and hair on his/her head (of some sort).
Overall, things are going really well. I was sure to take advantage of the extra time that this snowy spring break in Alaska afforded me and started 'nesting'. The baby bassinette has been washed, set up, and covered so it will remain clean. All yellow, green, and white baby clothes have been washed, folded, and are now put away into a dresser awaiting baby's arrival. I think I may be driving Scott nuts but I feel less stressed and more ready for baby to make his/her big debut!
Hey, you should do some research, the National Institute of Health just came out with new research "A subsequent vaginal birth is as safe or safer than a C-section, for mothers and infants, according to a National Institutes of Health panel of obstetricians, gynecologists and other medical doctors, as well ethicists, lawyers and scientists who met for three days just outside Washington this week." Here is a link to the story: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/03/panel_recommends_rethink_on_re.html
ReplyDeleteThe overall safety is very good and better for baby and momma.
