Heather visited Dr. Zawacki today for another routine, weekly check-up. Things continued at their usual steady pace, with mother and baby's health still looking good. Baby Woodruff's heartbeat was once again at about 130 bpm, and the position stayed at "head-down" (always good to know that) ... the only downside to that is that Heather is now getting some nice kicks into her ribcage (ouch!). Also, the tummy measurement checked in at 35 cm. And a good piece of news was that the strep test was negative.
This was also a chance for Heather to ask some questions about the upcoming delivery. After talking it over with the doctor, it appears that if the timing works out (no super-quickie appearances by BW), then she'll be able to use an epidural at a strength that allows for some feeling of the contractions. Another discussion was about Heather's blood type (O-), possibly leading to BW coming out a little jaundiced, which could mean baby's first visit to the tanning booth before the age of 1. Hopefully, the RH factor shot took care of that.
Only a couple check-ups left! ... the next one being a week from today.
