37w appointment

I'm GBS negative, woohoo! I start internals next week. I'm glad they didn't start earlier though because I'm totally one of those people who would sit and fret over progress/lack thereof.

My blood pressure's on the rise but I think it's still OK. At 12 weeks it was 90/60 and we're up to 130/80 right now. I'm glad I'm far enough along that it's not really a problem if I develop PIH. The doctor didn't mention that it was a problem.

I'm still measuring 2 weeks ahead fundally but the doctor doesn't think I am having a big baby. I haven't had any growth ultrasounds but he's used palpitation. I hope he's right because everyone is speculating that I'll have a 9lber!

We also went over my birth plan (I'd like to go natural/low intervention if possible) and he said it was all OK. I also asked his policy on going past my due date and he says we can negotiate that but he normally prefers to induce at about a week past. I am OK with that.

So far, so good... in a few weeks I'll have a baby!
