Almost, but not quite 36 weeks, and I had a visit with Dr. Graham today. He did the Group B Strep test, which I'll have results for at the next visit. Emily's heartbeat was in the 140s, and my blood pressure is still good. I'm embarrassed to say I gained 3 pounds in less than two weeks (two on top of the one I had lost on my last visit--must have been all the baby shower food!).
Dr. Graham said my cervix is about 50% effaced, which is good, but doesn't necessarily mean she'll be coming soon. Still, he said we need to get ready, and make sure our hospital bags are packed. Emily is positioned head down, and has already begun to descend into my pelvis (the reason I'm so sore when I get up to walk).
We reviewed my birth plan, and Dr. Graham said everything was realistic and my preferences are completely reasonable, which made me feel good. No more travel outside of Atlanta for me now either, so I'll be sticking close to home!
