Had my 38 week appointment today and I do believe it went pretty well.

- I lost 2 1/2 pounds from last week which was exactly what I had gained in 1 week prior to that... so I think that wsa water weight/ swelling induced weight! She didn't say anything bad about it!
- My BP was normal
- His HB was 154
- He is still head down
- She still hasn't checked me to see if I am dialating... she said she will next week
- I did finally manage an appointment with her for next Friday... she booked me on her personal calendar while she is in L&D so she will check me there!
- She told me to keep monitoring his movements and to go to L&D if I have contractions 3-5 minutes apart to start my antibiotics! I'm excited!

So overall it was a good appointment!
