Today was a long appointment. Our normal 20 minute appointment turned into two hours. The baby's heart rate is on the lower side of normal and so I was put on the fetal monitor for 20 minutes. The baby's HR dropped one time and took a little while to come back up which extended the monitoring another 45 minutes or so. On the other hand, with movement the heart rate went up to 140-150 which is good. The doctor is sure everything is okay and suspects that the baby's baseline HR is probably 120, the lower side of normal. I will return to the doctor tomorrow however for a non stress test.
Baby's head remains very low. I am 1.5 cm dilated and 60% effaced this week.
Everything looked great in the extended monitoring today so she doesn't suspect there are any problems, but I will keep you updated.
