Here is the baby update. Stats as of this week's visit ...
Projected Due Date: February 25th
Week of Pregnancy: 39 weeks
Total Weight Gained: 35 pounds
Baby's Heartbeat: 146
Effacement Percentage: 75% (same last week)
This is how thin your cervix is.
Dilatation: Maybe 1/2 centimeter (I think my doctor was just being nice and trying to give me some hope)
How far your cervix has opened. 10 centimeters being the widest.
Baby's Head Station: -1 (a little lower than last week)
This is the position of the baby in relation to your pelvis, measured in pluses and minuses. A baby who is at 0 station is said to be engaged, while a baby in the negative numbers is said to be floating. The positive numbers are the way out!
And the wait continues ...
