I had my weekly NST today and ended up spending a little more time there than I have been. They tried stimulating her with the buzzer thingy and she wasn't responding like she should. The nurse said she would give it a few more minutes and then she was going to go get the Dr. and they would probably do an ultrasound. Apparently baby didn't like that idea since she started waking up. They got a few "good reads" from her and then the Dr. came in anyway to "chat". I adore this Dr., by the way. He's the Maternal Fetal Specialist and he's just the nicest, most personable, caring guy. He talks to you like you are human and he addresses any and all concerns. He asked me how I was feeling, and I just said "eh, ok". He wanted me to ellaborate.....BAD IDEA. I haven't slept in a week due to some pretty strong contractions and having to pee every 5 minutes. I am just rather run down in general. I am so much bigger in my belly this time and it really kinda sucks. Not that being 20lbs heavier and big everywhere with Macie was great, but there are parts of my body I haven't seen in months. I was able to shave my legs with no problem the day I had her.....not so much with this one. Can't manuever around the Buddah! I digress, sorry!!! Anyway, the Dr. asked me how far along I am and I told him that I will be 37 weeks on Monday. He then says "so, we probably won't see you next week then." I said "pardon me?". He said that I should really talk with my OB about being induced after next week. You are considered full term at 37 weeks. He said that with Pre-eclampsia, it's not a real great idea to go much further than that. Now as excited as I wanted to be about that.....my OB is not the "inducing" kinda guy. I kinda get the feeling if I mention it to him, he won't do it just for that reason. I am sure that is not the case and he will do everything to ensure that the baby is safe and healthy, but my aching back brings out the pessimist in me!!!
So......My next appt. is Monday. Until then......
I have to apologize to Macie. I have been slacking in the updates for her blog. I am consumed with Dr. appointments and exhaustion. I am trying to keep everyone updated via the blog since everyone knows how much I LOVE chatting on the phone- ugh!!!
I will do an update very soon for the Face....promise.
XOXO
Still can't find the spell check button.......where oh where are you????
