doctors visit

So this was the first visit to the doc where I got a vaginal exam where they tell you your dialation and all that stuff. So, I am a "good 1cm dialated" he is at -2 station (which means his head is 2cm above my cervix which is nice and low) and my cervix is 60% effaced (the cervix starts out long and narrow and as you get ready to give birth it gets shorter and widens, this is called effacement). I'm not having any contractions yet, but it sure does feel like his head is sitting on my pubic bone. Dr. Weiss said she didn't think I would make it to my Sep 16th appointment, but who knows (especially with 1st babies).

Also, since he has been moving less (which is fairly normal) she sent me to this other spot where they monitored his heart for 20 min and had me push this button whenever he moved which correlated to rises in his heart rate. That was good but they also checked my amniotic fluid which was a little low (the darn heat!!). So I am suppose to drink lots of fluids, take it easy and they are going to check again on Friday.

All in all, a good visit, now I am going to go and drink some water!!!
