Routine One week past due date checkup.

Kathleen visits Alta Bates for a checkup. Kathleen is hooked up to the fetal heart rate monitor. That boy can move! His heartrate stayed around 140 but would peek at about 160. We then went downstairs to get a sonogram. This is to make sure that the placenta looks good and that there is plenty of amniotic fluid.

 

What did we learn? It was a good chance for Kathleen to get ready for the fetal heartrate monitor which she will have to wear during the end portion of her labor. We also learned that Max has both his feet in the same place which is why Kathleen gets kicked in the same spot all the time.

 

It was hard to see much during the sonogram. But the heart and the spine were the coolest in my opinion.
