This morning while the doctor was feeling my belly and checking the baby's position, she got a funny look on her face and said, "The baby's head can't be THAT low..."

Turns out he is that low. There are two measures of labour, dilation and effacement. Apparently I'm already 1.5cm dilated (they admit you at 3-4cms and you are considered "fully dilated" at 10cm) and half effaced.

As the doctor left the room, she winked and said "See you next week... MAYBE!"

I am SO. FREAKING. OUT.

(But in a good way.)
