    Just an update for everyone
    Hello again, well I went for my appointment today and my doctor and I discussed my UTI and the fact that no one treated me last week for it which he than began to apologized for.
    So now the baby has dropped which he is surprised at because that usually happens at 38 weeks and not at 35. He as well urged me to be prepared for premature labour and what could happen, he has not checked me because he doesn't want to start labour yet. So next week when I go in he'll do an exam and then will see where we are at, I didn't know that if a baby drops it could be go time in the next 2 weeks or so he said.

    Baby dropping is significant, however, especially with your first baby, it could drop an entire month before you go into labor. Not to worry though, you are far enough along now that if the baby does come before 40 weeks, baby should be fine.

    Well that's what the doctor had said about how the baby has dropped at 35 weeks when he or she should have dropped at the end of the pregnancy. I guess it may have had something to do with the amount of stress and pressure I have been under, plus my nesting has gotten the better of me. I can not stop moving around I always have to be moving furniture or cleaning something, I did get a lecture from the doctor about losing some weight. I guess I am just so much more active but that's normal isn't it?
