Today we had our 38 week appt. Everything is looking great as said by Dr. Schutz. I have gained 2 pounds and up to 19 pounds. The baby's heartbeat was at 157 and still strong. Dr. Schutz said "the peanut is still happy in there".
He went over some of the things he would not do in the delivery room. Like the vaccuum and forceps (spelling?). He went into great detail why and did tell some stories that were terrible. Aaron and I are glad to hear that he will not be using these instruments.
He checked me and I am still at 1 cm dilated. Which I am okay with. It was soo hot in the exam room today... Aaron was fanning me for a while. I thought it felt soo nice when I went outside after the appt and of course Aaron thought it was cold. I am walking around with an oven... ha ha!!
Our next appt is Thursday the 15th.

Babies are like little heaters!!
I didn't want those instruments used during delivery either.They had to use the vaccum on my niece to get her out quick though because the cord was wrapped around her neck.I was there & saw the urgency in it.You gotta do what you gotta do,but It sounds like you have a great Dr. and are in very good hands.It's good to avoid those instruments if possible I agree.I just can't imagine doing a home birth.It was always reassuring to me that all those Dr.'s & nurses were around to help out if needed :)
