Heather went in for another check-up today with Dr. Zawacki. This visit was partly routine ... Heather's blood pressure is still doing fine at 112 over 68, so doing good there; and Baby Woodruff's heartbeat continued at a nice, strong 130 bpm. Also, the tummy measurement came in at 34 cm.
The new part was the doctor checking internally for baby's position. As confirmed earlier, BW's head is in the down position, and the little bum is definitely in the up position. However, it is not quite "go" time yet. But, Dr. Zawacki did say that if labor did start next week (almost 37 weeks), then she would let Heather give birth since BW would be at term.
They also planned ahead, as Heather got together her leave of absence paperwork for the doctor to sign. And then, she announced who her birthing team would be: Heather's very frightened husband (her words), her best friend Sara (Dany) and her sister Greta.
The next appointment will be next Wednesday, when the doctor will keep checking for dilation and baby's position.
