Doctor's Appointment


37 weeks and 5 days...Today we had another doctor's appointment and a sonogram. First they did our sonogram and baby is head down. The heart rate was 145 bpm and everything looked normal and healthy. We got to see the baby pucker up and also making breathing movements. We even got the privilege to get two 4D pictures. They weren't great because baby insisted on having its hands in front of its face, big surprise! We also got another huge surprise, they took measurements of the baby and it is measuring as a 9 lb 10 oz baby. Yes I said 9 lb and we have 2 weeks left until our due date. My blood pressure is still in good standing and this week I had only gained a total of 19 lbs. The doctor checked me and said that the baby is not engaged and I am not dilated. So basically this baby is not wanting to go anytime soon and will just keep growing! The doctor said that we have an option of doing a c-section if I don't start to progress. He is worried that the baby would not fit through my pelvis if I try to do a vaginal delivery. I do have the option of trying to delivery if that is my choice. I do not think they will let me go over my due date though! We have another appointment next Wednesday and we will discuss those options again when they check me.
