First Internal- Done!
You were all right, it was painless! Not even really uncomfortable, kinda felt like an annual GYN appointment with a little more pressure.
Thankfully, no progress really. She's head down, but I'm just a fingertip dilated...I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm in no rush for her to come out, she's not ready & I'm not ready  . He estimated her at about 7-7.5 pounds at delivery (I had no clue they could determine that just by measuring the belly, but that's what he said  )
Thankfully, everything is great!!

Re: First Internal- Done!
On average, babies weigh between 7-7.5 pounds at birth. This may be why he said it. I think the average length is 20"...but the range is 18-22! You've probably shown average growth so he figures it's OK to assume your baby will weigh in at the average. My dr. did that with my first...she ended up being under 6 pounds. The whole thing is a guessing game!

Thanks for the info...I was amazed that that's how they judged baby's size. Obviously they know what they're doing (or close to it!), but I was still surprised!!
