Update on baby and pregnancy

So I had a doctor appointment today and it was kind of interesting. The midwife measured my belly first off and was alarmed that I was measuring at 34 cm. I am 38 1/2 weeks so it should have been around 38-39 cm. So she was concerned that there was a leak in the amniotic fluid. She checked for that and determined that there wasn't. Then I had an ultrasound to make sure there was enough fluid for the baby and it was perfect. So then I had to do a stress test and had the Dr. do another ultrasound to make sure the baby is growing as it should be and Dr. said baby looks great (still a girl by the way) and looks like she will be around 7 lbs! So everything is going good I guess. My cervix is measuring at 3 cm and the baby is in 0 or 1 position. I can't remember. But the midwife said she is really low and so did the Dr. I think that is probably why the measurement on my belly was so small because she has dropped so low.
I can't wait for this baby to come out!
