A week ago, I had another ultrasound appointment. Due to my "advanced maternal age" and thyroid condition, I am now having to go in for weekly biophysical monitoring. Basically, they track the baby's heartbeat for 20 minutes and check the level of fluid. The nurse told me that I was having contractions at the beginning; to me it just felt like the baby pushing at my abdomen. She gave me some water to drink and that stopped them. I didn't feel so well that evening and the next morning and so drank lots of water and that seemed to help.
The baby is still in the breech position. I haven't talked to the doctor yet about turning this one, but I would think it will soon be a topic of discussion if the child doesn't move on her own.
