37 week check up today... and it was a bust! I was so hoping to go in and have made some progress but no such luck this week.
I'm still not dilated or effaced; cervix is still high and posterior. On the plus side, the baby is still head down and the doctor can easily feel her head so at least I know she's ready to go in that aspect of things.
Her heart rate was great (140s), and this week she measured exactly 37 weeks despite being 2 weeks ahead last week. I was a little disappointed to hear that because I was really hoping for an extra ultrasound! Oh well, guess I have to wait until she shows up to see what her little face looks like!
My weight gain is still good but I gained a bit more this week (2 lbs!), doctor was okay with that though since I lost a few pounds a few weeks ago. Blood pressure was good- 118/76- which was a relief because on Monday evening I had an awful headache and blurred vision. I went to the drug store to check my blood pressure and it was 138/90- a really high number for someone like me who runs ~100/60 usually! I called the on call doctor and she assured me that while that number was higher than usual it was really borderline and had me take more Tylenol to see if it helped. I ended up falling asleep and when I woke up the headache was gone.
Group B Strep test was negative! (As was HIV test, but I knew that would be)
Next appointment on Tuesday- really hoping for progress next week now!
