My Milestones & Events


On July 20, 2016 at 37 weeks 2 days pregnant
Baby Dropped
Was still measuring 36 weeks at the 37 week appt. Dr said its because baby's head is engaged and uterus is starting at a lower point so there is a less measurable distance from the top of the uterus to the pubic bone.
