35+4days actually, but you get the gist.
Got the crap scared out of me again at the doctors office this morning... When I went in, my bp was higher than usual (usual is high all on it's own so... yeah). Dr. Bailey did my Strep B test and checked my cervix since I've been having some contractions. No dilating or anything though, thank goodness. I lost 2 more pounds - I'm 145lbs now.
They didn't like seeing my blood pressure up again so he ordered another round of PIH bloodwork for me to have done while I was at the hospital for my NST. When I went to leave his office to head to the hospital, they couldn't decide on whether or not to schedule me a checkup for next week... hence the crap being scared out of me. They did go ahead and schedule me one for Wednesday though since Dr. Bailey will be gone for a medical conference from the 12th to the 23rd. He wants to check up on me before he goes.
He came to the hospital again before I left to talk to me. He said he didn't really know quite what he wanted to do yet because I was close to full term, but the baby still isn't growing as good as he'd like. He said even though The Bean's heart-rate was good and steady, it didn't accelerate as much as he'd like for it to when he moved around. He said he was going to consult a neonatal doctor in Macon, Georgia to see what he suggested we do and he'd call me at home.
Turns out the doctor in Macon suggested we wait until I'm about 38 weeks just to be safe, which is kinda what Dr. Bailey wanted to do in the first place. He said I'll come in once he gets back from his conference and we'll talk about delivering me later on that week. So I'll definitely be having a baby in 2 weeks - the week of the 23rd. We just have to set up a day.
Thank God for no baby being born today... I'm so not mentally prepared.
