Pregnancy update: 25 weeks

I went in for my follow up check up at 24 weeks and 4 days and my baby measured at 26 weeks weighing 853 grams. The amino acid vitamins are doing well in making him grow. My doctor asked me to continue taking these vitamins until August 25th. She told me that Metformin can cause a baby to be smaller than it should so I should still take the amino acid vitamins.

She said everything looked fine with my baby except for my placenta previa which is back to being totalis again. My doctor is still hopeful that it will move up in the next few weeks.

My next check up will be on August 29th and it will be weekly check ups from then on together with the Biophysical scoring ultrasound.

If I remember correctly, I will also be going through the Non-stress Test starting 30 or 32 weeks. I just can't remember if that's also going to be a weekly thing. I really hope not.

I am so excited to hold my baby in my arms. I'm currently 25 weeks and 2 days and my original due date is on November 24 basing on my LMP. However, since I'm delivering most likely via C-section, I can probably give birth on November 3rd onwards. My hubby's birthday is on November 2nd hahahaha. I know he secretly wishes to have his son born on his birthday but I'm worried he'd be premature then.

I can feel my baby's movements more often now, especially in the morning. I always wake up to his movements and I am always happy each time I wake up knowing he's alive inside me and very active.

I love my baby so much and I just can't wait for November. :)

I promise to be the best mommy ever. :)
