I had my 36 week appointment this morning. There was some protein in my urine but not enough to be concerned about. My blood pressure was good but my weight was up 6 pounds in two weeks. I'm convinced that's mostly water weight because my eating has been normal but I've been swelling in my hands and from my knees to my toes. Yes, even my toes are swelling! I need to be diligent about my water intake and make sure I put my feet up at least a little bit during the day. The doctor also did the group B strep test (which was uncomfortable) and then checked my cervix. I'm not dilated at all but the outside of my cervix is starting to soften. The inside (by the baby) is still hard and closed. The doctor also said the baby is definitely head down and right on my cervix. Good baby! Now stay that way! :) I told the doctor that I'd been having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions (on Saturday they were even 15 minutes apart for a while) and he said that if they turned in to real labor, they'd let me go. So, while unrealistic, we could have this baby at any time. Saying that, I fully believe this baby will have a September birthday. So, that's it. I go back in next Thursday morning and they'll tell me my Group B strep results then.
