So today was the MFM appointment the baby looked good, still measuring in the 96th %tile in weight etc.. his "gestimated" weight is 5lb 15oz.. bear in mind this can be + or - 1 to 2 lbs.. but so far measuring more than Katelyn weighed at 37 weeks.. he seems to be gaining about 1/2lb a week..
At the last MFM appointment I was told that I had antibody C in my blood that showed up during the antibody screening.. What this means is at some point during delivery of Katelyn or in this pregnancy there was some maternal/fetal blood mixing and one or both of them have the Antigen C in their blood.. So despite getting the RhoGam shot last time, (It only works against antigen D..) I will have the chance of my body attacking the blood of this and future babies.... Ben is a carrier and there is a 50% chance that this baby and future babies will be carriers..
The good news.. my titers last time were low and we will be following them every 2 to 3 weeks until delivery.. so far the baby is not showing any signs of this being an issue.. so that is terrific news.. if they go up it may be more of a worry..
Doc says that in most cases they like to deliver at 38 weeks... but we are going to keep an eye on me and the baby and we may make it to our schedule at 39 weeks..
