Today I had a doctor's appointment; the first thing I had to do was a stress test... they hooked two monitors to my stomach, one to moniter her heart rate and the other to monitor my contractions. I got to sit in this huge recliner and just relax it was pretty sweet! Babygirl has a strong heart beat and is very very active (especially for being over 40weeks). I am having contractions 7-9 minutes apart...but I am actually not feeling them.
Then i got my cervix checked again; I was really excited to find out how much progress Ive made; but sadly the doctor has informed me that my cervix is completly closed (0cm dilated) and not even thinned out.
Since I am already 5 days over 40 weeks; and they don't recommend going over 41weeks...I had to get an ultrasound to see if there is enough fluid still. I got to see my baby girl which was really exciting :D Although I could hardly tell what I was looking at. She has a big round head (just like her daddy) and the doctor told me "good luck with that" ....GREAT haha. It took awhile for them to get all the measurements they needed because well my babygirl is very stubborn and does not like to be disturbed! Apparently the fluid levels are perfect and im doing good mentally so they are going to let me wait it out a little bit longer so hopefully she will come naturally! I go back on friday for another stress test&appointment.
But more than likely; it's starting to look like miss morgan will be a september baby.
