We had our weekly OB appointment yesterday morning. She put the doppler on my belly but thought the baby's heartbeat sounded weird so they moved me into another room and put me on a monitor. His heart rate was dipping a little so they left me hooked up to the machine for 15 minutes. When she came back and looked at the printout she said it looked fine and his heart rate was at or near 130 that whole time. Then she checked me and reported "no change." He is still head down but his head isn't really in my pelvis yet. Since Thursday is my due date we have to go back for a biophysical profile. They will do an ultrasound (checking amniotic fluid levels and movement) and a non stress test (hooking me up to machines that monitor the baby's heart rate and contractions). Apparently we will have a conversation regarding next steps after they do their analysis. Signing off until Thursday....
