37 week doc apointment

Today I felt a little funny at work; feeling like I had to pee constantly and some digestion issues, so I went home around noon and then went to my already scheduled doc appointment at 4:40pm. I felt better at home and was able to nap, so that helped. Anyway, the doc said that my bladder is like pancake right now so it was probably just having to pee all the time and not amniotic fluid, as I wouldn't be able to control it if it were fluid. So, all is good! Here are my doc stats:

Eli's heartbeat: 130's, he wasn't moving much so he must have been napping. Last week it was in the 160's!! ;)
Mommy's blood pressure: Great!
Strep B results: NEGATIVE, WOOHOO!!
Dilation: still only a finger tip :(

Eli's head is positioned really far down in my pelvis and the doc said it certainly won't move from there, which is good. Doc said that when it's time for my water to break, it will break easily from all the pressure of Eli's head. While uncomfortable for me as I feel like he is sitting on my lap and my bladder is smashed, it's a good thing ;) Way to get yourself ready, Elijah!

I asked what he thought Eli would weigh. Doc said he thought around 7-7 1/2 pounds, so that's average. He doesn't think he's a big baby, thank God!! I asked about the policy on going over my due date. He said the practice tends to let the pregnancy go as long as it can as long as there are no complications. They are conservative when it comes to induction since it can increase the chances of a c-section. So, they'll just keep monitoring how he's doing each week and if he's still hangin' out after 40 weeks, they'll discuss induction. I'm glad they're not a practice that pushes having the baby born before 40 weeks. Overall it sounds like it will be up to me at that point as long as everything looks good. Just have to wait and see!!
