38 week appointment update

Baby is doing great! His heart rate is 145 bpm, so that's well within the normal range. I don't know how large my tummy is measuring, but at this point it doesn't matter much. Doc did say that I am about 4 cm dilated so it could happen any time. Of course, it could also be another week or two. He did strip my membranes in hopes of getting some contractions started, but nothing so far. That's one of those things that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I asked how far over they would let me go and he said no more than a week- so we will have a baby by the first full week in December, no matter what. Don't worry, you'll all be notified when he finally does make an appearance!
