Stations

At my appointment today my doctor said that LO is at a station 2, I may be a little oblivious but what exactly does that mean?

It's how low they're presenting. I'd hope at 36 weeks, your doctor meant -2. +2 usually means you're about to deliver, in my experience (could be wrong).

SarahRae85, thanks for posting the diagram! I had been wondering what the "stations" meant as well. :)

This can also change with your position.  Baby might be a little lower when you're standing up (which also depends on how much fluid you have... baby will float/move more if you have extra fluid).
