Update from yesterday's low amniotic fluid....

Gigi2195 · April 2011

Went in to the hospital for monitoring & had NSTs and U/S. The baby was reactive to NST but the U/S showed even lower fluid than yesterday (6.3) and his heart rate is up. My b/p was really elevated...went up to 163/103. They were all ready to admit me and section me but for some odd reason, decided to send me home and have me come back in the morning. I've got to do it all again tomorrow. If there is no improvement, I'm going to insist that they keep me and section me. I don't want to be sent home again (almost an hour away!) to be told that I need to return again in a day or two. They might as well just section me if I'm this far along and there is any risk to either of us...it just doesn't make sense to me.

So, if you girls don't hear from me tomorrow, then I'm admitted. T&Ps please!

I'll keep you and your LO in my thoughts! Hopefully, there is improvement and you don't have to have a C-section.

Thoughts and prayers to you and LO, hope they can figure it out without have to section you, but if it is necessary I would go for it, too. Blessings to your family. Looking forward to your birth story and pictures when LO does makes their appearance!

Lurking - they are probably waiting until tomorrow so they can consider you full term... a lot of hospitals rather wait until you aare the 37w then even 36w6d.

No matter what, good luck tomorrow, I hope everything goes well.
