My 1st MFM Appointment, and BOOBS

gablegurl

Gablegurl Update: We went to Grand Rapids (40 miles from our home) for our specialist appointment this morning. The Dr was sounding very positive until we kept giving her more details of my hospital stay. Once she got all the information she said we should really do the amniocentesis where they inject blue dye into the affected baby's sac, then wear a tampon for an hour to see if it leaks (to see if the baby's sac is indeed still leaking). Despite the risks of this process, she said the risks of not doing it were greater. So, I had it done, and it was NOT enjoyable. Then you sit for an hour to see if you "leak" blue dye. If I did, I'd be hospitalized, if not continue monitoring as we have been. After an hour, no leaking. Yes, this is "good" news our nerves aren't calmed much (yet). I'm very uncomfortable tonight with cramps (which they said would be expected). Not very bad, just enough to be annoying. So...we're trying to take these results as positive and keep on trucking but anything medical with me is never easy (despite my fairly good health). But we're trying. On another note, my boobs have been SO itchy and...almost hot to touch. Does anyone else get this?

That is great news! Sorry that you are not feeling well right now though. As for the itchy boobs, lotion them up, girl. I use cocoa butter, and if that doesn't help Eucerin or Mama Bee Belly Oil! Sending you more love and best wishes that you continue to get good news.
