Quick update - 39 week appointment

I had another doctor appointment today - just one day shy of 39 Weeks. Everything went well. My blood pressure was normal, although a little higher for me – 123 over 77. The baby’s heart rate was in the 140’s, and the doctor let me know that the baby felt a lot bigger than last week. She feels bigger to me also, even though I only gained a pound this week.  Also, I’m 2 cm dilated, and about 90% effaced. That means I’m moving right along, but it doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll go into labor right away. The doctor also mentioned that she could feel the baby’s head (which is very strange…) and she reminded me of the signs I need to look for in case I really go into labor this week...aaahh! We scheduled my next appointment for next Wednesday.  I’m not having any real contractions yet, but I’m definitely feeling more aches and pains and pressure.  It really could be any day now!
