36 week update- medical appointment

We went to the doctor today for what was to be our last ultrasound, for measurement purposes. The nurse didn't say much about Emorie's stomach, leg and head measurements but she did say her estimated weight was 6 pounds, 3 ounces. Her kidneys and cord look great but my fluid levels are low. The doctor is concerned about the low fluid, so I am to rest at home and drink plenty of water 'til Monday. We have another appointment and ultrasound on Monday to look at the fluid. I'm not sure what will be done if the levels don't increase.

On the other hand, Emorie's head is very low- the ultrasonographer was not able to see her face or forehead because of her low station. I am dilated 2 cm and 50% effaced. Doctor seems to think it won't be long.

I will keep you posted.
