Pregnant after IF

next u/s tomorrow and week full of appointments

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!

    L, I'm praying for you and your little girl tomorrow!   Praying that you have a good scan tomorrow and that her ventricles aren't further enlarged.  I'm sorry that you've had such a hectic week with appointments, not to mention contractions. Glad you're feeling better.  Hopefully you can take it easy, but that's easier said than done.  Hugs.
