Twelfth Prenatal Visit: Cervix Check and Prenatal Records

My baby has moved downward in preparation for birth.  I also could feel the changes and it hurts when it moves downward.  The medical assistant and my doctor also took note that it dropped right and the fundal height showed it as well.  I gained two more pounds after a week.  My blood pressure is okay and the result for my Cervical Culture last week was negative.  My doctor checked my cervix this morning and she said that I'll have an easy labor ahead.  Since this is my second child, my cervix won't open not until I started laboring which is quite different from the first.  The good news is that my cervix is already soft, ready to give way on my next baby.   They already gave me a copy of my prenatal records to keep on my hospital bag, so anytime that I go labor, I have it handy.

I'll see her again next week, Monday.  Im getting closer!  Nervous and Excited all at the same time! Please pray for me.  My next entry about baby names.
