So this week has been full of visits to the doctor and MFM. I go tomorrow for my next high level u/s to monitor the enlarged ventricles in my little girls brain. Fingers crossed for stable sizes or little enlargement. I will update again tomorrow afternoon. I wish I could say I was not anxious about this appointment, but I'm a wreck. I can push the stuff out of my mind between appointments but when they are here I do nothing but worry.
I ended up going to the OB yesterday and today as well. Today was my monthly OB appointment and 1 hour GTT but I ended up going in yesterday for an unscheduled NST. Monday and Tuesday I was having a ton of Braxton hicks contractions all afternoon to the point I could not tell anymore when I was having one and when I wasn't.
Monday I left work early and went home to rest and felt better. But when the same thing was happening yesterday I freaked out and called the OB. They brought me in and hooked me up to the monitors. Once I was lying down in the soft bed they have for these tests for awhile I started to feel better and my contractions stopped, but I was having about 4 in 20 mins when I first got there.
The doc also did a cervical check yesterday and today and everything looks good so the only thing the doc suggested was that I was dehydrated. Who knows what was going on but I'm sure stress and the 3 flights up and down to the bathroom in my office are not helping. Feeling much better today though.
Any T+Ps you can send my way for a good scan tomorrow would be appreciated. thanks ladies!
