so i had a midwife appointment today and i was measuring 34 weeks. I was happy because i though i was 33 weeks and the fact that i measured bigger made me hope that i am much closer to the end.

HOWEVER, the scan then said i am 31 weeks + 6 days.

I know i should hope for ‘jisme khair ho’ but i am so tired. I want the pregnancy to be over. I am so exhausted.
I have now 9 more weeks to wait instead of the 7 weeks i had in my mind.

I dont know how to spend my time.

I have boring days and sleepless nights due to horrible acidity/heartburn.

Please share your experience if you felt same as me.

Were you measuring too big for your weeks?

I was but it was due to other issues.

And yeah, I remember all of that too.

What helped sometimes was sleeping propped up...running a humidifier...loads of TUMS...and water by the liters.

Are you finding your appetite decreased because of the heart burn? Is it anything you eat or ? Just curious as I'll be entering the 3rd trimester soon iA

wishes for an easy rest of the pregnancy.

Yogurt! Eat plain yogurt it's a load of help with heartburn. I went to the ER 2x during my pregnancy cos my heartburn was so bad... i couldn't even breathe.

Eat bland-er foods. Masalaydaar things cause it to be worse. Honestly... its the last stretch. The only comfort i can offer u is that literally the second the baby is out.. the heartburn/gross feeling vanishes.

I measured slightly bigger too. Baby was born near due date. No biggie! Its hard to wait near the end. But the real labor begins after the baby is born as I always say!

not really i still eat as much as i used to eat and the heartburn usually happens after food or when i lie down or sit and relax.

I definitely agree with the yogurt. I have it at night before bed. It prevents heartburn and also one cup of yogurt has a lot more calcium than a glass of milk, so it's good for the bones/teeth too.
I don't have advice on measuring big/small. Im measuring on time I think, the doc hasn't mentioned anything. What I've read is that the earlier ultrasounds are the most accurate, so if you had one around 6-10 weeks then that should be accurate. Also, if you are very sure about the last period date or the approx conception date then that's very accurate too when it comes to what week you are at.

They may well ask to induce you if your baby is measuring big but the growth scans arent wholly accurate either they are estimates. Good luck!
