About the Same

At my 38-week appointment today, I didn't get to see my doctor again because she had to run over to the hospital to do a C-section. So I saw the head nurse and she was really nice and friendly and checked me. I was pretty much the same as last week, not really dilated (she said maybe 1/2 cm) and the baby was still really low. Her heart rate was 130-140's and I was measuring about the same as last week. While I was talking to the nurse, I felt like my belly was tight and asked her if she thought it was a Braxton-Hicks contraction or just the baby. She felt around and said it probably was a mild contraction and I've been having those a lot lately. So not much of an update, but maybe next week! Hopefully I can make it until then as some of my family are coming Tuesday and Wednesday. We'll see!
