Doctor Check up (July 16, 2009)

Today was a very exciting check up. The babys heart rate was 134 and I am now dialated to two. The exciting part is we schedualed me to be enduced Tuesday July 21 if baby Recker doesn't decide to come before then. Im really hoping he/she does. The doctor striped my membranes and so that is supposed to move things a long on their own. Hopefully it works. I can't believe in four days AT THE MOST I will be holding my little baby! :) I can't wait!

No Change unfortunately. I thought there would be by now. Im hanging in there though. Thursday right after my appointment I was pretty upset but Im over it now cuz I realize baby Recker is going to come out when its ready and thats what I want. Plus I figure its just a few more days of waiting compared to the rest of baby Reckers life. I gained 3 lbs and the heart rate was 137. There was some concern that my water had broken but after being checked the doctor decided no.

Today Dr. Thurm was unsure if the babys head was down or not. So she sent me for another ultra sound which confirmed that it was head down. Thanks goodness because I really didn't want them to have to turn the baby which I heard is really painful or worse yet have a C-section. She also checked my dialation and said I was still just at 1cm but 100% efaced. The babys heart rate was 147.
