It was time for another check-up for Heather and Baby Woodruff. The regular OBGYN, Dr. Zawacki, wasn't available, so this time she saw Dr. Tuganis.
The doctor measured Heather's tummy at 33 inches. When she tried to measure baby's heartbeat, she struggled to keep up with little BW's location. She said that the baby was "doing gymnastics!" She eventually got the heartrate at 130 bpm. Then, she checked for the position of the baby. After a pretty thorough search, she said that based on feeling something hard down low, that the baby was in the head-down position. (That would explain why Heather and I felt something hard up high in her tummy ... it was little BW's bum! Plus, that accounted for the heaviness that Heather was feeling down low, and her difficulty walking lately.)
Heather was very happy to hear about BW's position. Her next scheduled appointment will be in 2 weeks.
