Newp. It was pee. I was leaking pee. Which I guess I should be glad about because you're not supposed to leak amniotic fluid, but I feel so foolish for going into the doctor when there was absolutely nothing wrong. As my mom would say, you only feel foolish because there was nothing wrong; if something had been wrong, you'd be glad you went. But I still feel silly. Anyway. I'm still dilated 1-2 cm and am effaced 50%. I also got an ultrasound today and the baby is measuring a bit smaller than he/she was previously. Still not dangerous or anything but he/she's gone from the 35th percentile down to the 20th. I don't like that much. I'm sure all is fine but that number made me a little nervous. The ultrasound tech didn't send me back to the doctor or anything so it's not something that they're worried about, but I still am not crazy about it. I guess I just make little babies. Heart rate was again 130 and fluid looked good, so all seems to be well. Which is great. My next appt is on Wednesday at 2 pm.
Just as a reminder, with Henry, I had an ultrasound at 38 weeks and all was fine. But when I had another one at 40 weeks and 1 day, there was no fluid. I think that's what got me thinking this time. Anyway, I suspect she'll send me for another one very shortly after I miss my due date (assuming that I do).
I brought my hospital bag with me today. There was a small part of me that was hoping they kept me and induced me this evening so that I'd have my baby tomorrow. 9/6. My dad's birthday. Then I could have had my Frederick on his namesake's birthday. Or my Evie. But I still think it's a Frederick. All in all, I think it's good that that's not what happened. I've read that 39 weeks is really what you should make it to, so we want to keep this babe put until next Wednesday but still... would have been kind of cool. I guess it's not too late to have a baby tomorrow, but I don't think it's very likely.
