They checked me and so far I wasn't dilated at all which was good. While I was there she said she'd just do a quick ultrasound to see if she was head down and wouldn't you know- she was! I'm pretty excited because I was really not looking forward to the whole version or c-section discussion that we were thinking we would need to have next week. They also did a stress test while I was there. I never had this done with Ellie because she was born so early but it was pretty interesting. They have this super comfy room with a recliner, tv, drinks....and they just let you sit there while they monitor the baby's heart rate and contractions for 20 minutes. I told them it was the quietest 20 minutes I've had in a long time! They did a couple of other tests just to see if anything weird was going on and went ahead and did the Group B Strep culture early just in case. I was happy about that after needing the IV antibiotics with Ellie because I hadn't been tested yet so they just give antibiotics as a precaution.
So conclusion of the appointment was....this could be the start of labor, or could be a result of her finally turning head down, we just have to wait and see. Isn't that how it always goes :) We are hoping to keep her cooking for at least another 2 weeks. 37 weeks is full term so we'll aim for that! Jason has given me official orders to "chillax." I'll see if I can make myself do that!
