Today I’m considered full term & they wouldn’t try to stop labor if it began today. Wow!
We had a tiny scare at the doctors appointment yesterday - when the nurse checked for the heartbeat with the doppler it sounded slower and different than usual. I commented on it & she said that she thought so too, so they put me on the electronic monitor for a while. He did just fine on it, so they think the doppler was picking up my heartbeat instead. It was definetly scary having to go on the monitor - wondering if something was wrong with Elliot. The doctor was as patronizing as ever ~ but did say that I’m dilated to one & continuing to efface. We showed him our birth plan & he said it was fine, but we get the impression that he’d prefer us to ignorantly go along with whatever he says & wants rather than have our own opinions & desires. We won’t be dissapointed if he’s not on call when we deliver. He did say that by how I’m progressing he doesn’t think I’ll go past due - I know not to take his word for it, but one can hope!
