doctor's visit-good news
I went for my now weekly visit to the doctor today and she did an ultrasound to determine the position of the baby and he is head down just like he is supposed to be! This is great news for labor, because most doctors these days don't like doing labor if the baby is in head up or breach position. I also think he is facing the correct direction (his face towards my back) which should also help with delivery. His heart looked great (big! but I think there was some magnification on the ultrasound or I am in trouble getting this guy’s head out of me), it was pumping strong. My vitals also all looked good and I came back negative for my bacterial culture (normal at this point in pregnancy to do a bacterial culture) which means I don't need to be on antibiotics during labor (another yay). So both the little guy and I are doing great and feeling good. Dr. Weiss says at this point if I go into labor no one is going to try and stop me/slow me down, so we'll just have to see how it goes. I am shooting for September 13th!
