OB appointment at 32 weeks

Hello! Today I had a regular OB appointment and I'm doing great. I gained one pound since last time and my blood pressure was good. Baby's heartbeat was good too. I just love hearing her heartbeat! My doctor and I talked about my birth plan. I wrote one up since our childbirth instructor said we should have one. However the doctor seemed to be a little superstitious saying that once it's in writing, it might be a ticket for a C-section! But he read what I wanted and agreed with everything I had written down. We talked about pain meds during labor and being induced if I'm a week overdue. Since I'm a first time mom, I really don't know what to expect even though I've taken a couple of classes and read so many books. Jon and I are wondering when we should go to the hospital once labor has started. We read about contractions and timing and the different phases and stages of labor. I'm hoping I won't panic but who knows? Right now things are good. I'm no longer suffering from that nasty cold and sinus pressure. It's just hard to sleep through the night without changing positions or having to go to the bathroom 5 or 6 times during the night. I'm good at "sleep walking" now. I'm 32 weeks going on 33. I can't believe how close we're getting to April!
