We had our 38 week doctor apt today. As the doc was listening to the heart beat, it had skipped a beat every minute or so. He wasn't sure if it was his machine or not, but he sent us up to the labor ward to have me and the baby monitored. We were hooked up to the monitoring machine for about 20 mins. I’m not sure if the baby enjoyed this or not. He kept moving his little butt around like crazy. The doctor noticed that he was still having some missed beats. It could be caused from hiccups or it could indicate something else. They are unsure at the moment. So we are going back on Friday and will be monitored again. If it persists, then we may have to get another ultrasound to check his heart out.
The doctor did the first internal check. I’m a little disappointed that I am not dilated yet, and my cervix has softened. The baby is in the right position, but his head is still a little high. I was hoping that the doc would tell us that we would be having this baby sometime before this weekend. But no such luck. Who knows, maybe things could change over night! I guess the baby will come out when he’s ready. Or if he waits too long, I will have to be induced on the 23rd.
Here are the most recent pics of the belly - 38 weeks. I still haven't gotten much bigger. Hopefully I won't!
