34 Week OB Appointment

Not to much to report this week. Blood pressure is awesome still at 116/74 so pre-e is not a concern, proteins were good as well. Baby's measuring 35 weeks (which I will be on Wednesday) so growth is good. I was having a huge and painful contraction as I was laying down on the table so the doctor got a pretty good feel for the baby and he said based on feeling he would say head down, and then he found the heartbeat below the belly button much lower than two weeks ago so that is encouraging that those two signs are pointing to head down, we will still have an ultrasound at the next appointment (which because of labor day won't be until I am 37 weeks). If baby is breech we will make decisions about attempting external version or repeat c-section but we are leaning towards the version at this point. Since he prefers to do external versions during week 36 we will have to make that decision and probably have the version done if needed within a day or two of our next appointment since I will 37 weeks by then (as baby gets bigger it's harder to turn). After the next appointment I will go down to weekly visits until delivery day. That is all for now!
