36 week midwife appointment- home visit!!
Today was my home visit from Anneke and Ginnie!! They inspected the layout of the house and told me the best place to put the pool (Right in front of the sliding doors to the deck! It's gonna be beautiful!!) and how to set up. They also measured the distance and showed us where to run the hose from. 25ft is juuust long enough :) They looked over my birth kit and were satisfied with it, so we've got that all done. I need to put a mattress down near the pool too, to deliver the placenta on, but we can just use the futon mattress from the spare room :) Paid half of the cost for everything, so that's a load off my mind too. I signed the consent form for the vitamin K shot after he's born like the pedi requested, so that's out of the way. It looks like everything is ready, we're just waiting on the little guy! They did my exam on our couch (which was so comfy and awesome :))... My weight was better than it was at the OB, and my blood pressure was MUCH better. Weight is at 161lbs, and my blood pressure was 102/64. My pulse was 84. Fundal height is still lower than it should be, 33 instead of the 36 (almost 37) weeks I am.... He is settling into my pelvis further though. His heart is still beating away at 134bpm. I had my first internal exam done too. My cervix is 70% effaced, and a fingertip dilated, and Killian's head is at -1 station. I was so confident that losing part of my plug meant I was further than that, but I guess I'm not nearly as far as I was hoping...
