37 Week Pregnancy Update
Not a whole lot of news this week. I believe this baby is going to be stubborn about coming into this world, especially since we were unable to find out the sex during all three ultrasounds! I am still 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced like last week. I did go from a -3 station to a -2 station, which means the baby has dropped a bit lower, but nothing really significant. As my dr. likes to remind me, the baby can still come at anytime!
I did find out that I tested positive for Group B strep which means I will have to have antibiotics during labor that will actually be for the baby. This was something that I didn't have to worry about last time when I had Nikki. It is fairly common, but scary to have any type of complication or concern!
I can say that the baby and my body did not care for the exam today. The baby has been very active and I have had lots of Braxton Hicks contractions as well as general pressure which has just made me feel uncomfortable all day long. Hopefully, I will sleep ok tonight and not continue to have contractions that could keep me awake all night!
I am excited to note that I only have 7 more actual work days before I go on my maternity leave! Yeah!

Wow, on the strep B....never had that problem either. I wonder what causes that. Well, no worry, like you said, it isn't uncommon. I am sure that baby will come when SHE or he is ready! HOpefully, it will allow you one last crop!!!

We also say WOW on the strep B - good thing medical science is ahead of the game on this. Can't wait to meet the new grandbaby and Nikki's new baby brother or sister.
