Well I had a doctor appointment today and they hooked me up to a monitor to see how Will was doing, he kept moving around a lot which made it hard to keep an eye on his heart beat. I ended up having to hold the monitor on my belly in a certain area to get a good reading. My arm got sore from holding it there for 20 minutes. They were looking for his heart rate to increase when he moved, which it did very regularly, so that is good. It also monitored the contractions I was having, they are still pretty irregular but it was interesting to see them on the monitor print out and really understand what a contraction was versus, some times I thought it was just the baby stretching.
I measured right at 36 weeks on my outside dimensions, so the doctor thought his head dropped, and upon further examination he confirmed that it has. So all looks good. I am 1cm dilated, but I don't think that means much at this point. The nurse mentioned that if I was to go into labor at this point, no body would try to stop it. So I guess we are in the clear any time now.
I think it gave me a sense of urgency to try to tie up loose ends at work as much as I can before I leave. So that will be my goal for the next couple of weeks.
