AW most pg I've ever been
I made it to 35 weeks! This is officially the most pg I've ever been. I'm excited to have made it this far and hoping to keep lo in there a bit longer. However, we had a scare this weekend that sent me to L&D. On Sat. my bp was up and I wasn't feeling the baby move as much as usual so we thought it was better safe than sorry and headed into L&D. Once they got me hooked up they said baby looked ok but just not as active as they would like. They did an u/s and found I had VERY low AF (I think she only found 2 pockets that she could actually measure) and said baby looked on the small side. So they said I had to drink a ton or they would have to start IV fluids. So rather than get an IV I down glass after glass of water. They did blood work and started another 24 hour urine catch.
The next day they did a growth u/s, a bpp, and blood flow studies to make sure the umbilical cord was working properly. At that one my AF was back up in the ok range at 11 and she thought baby looked to be about 6lbs 5oz and the blood flow study came back normal. All my other blood work and urine catch came back normal too. So they sent me home on Sun. afternoon w/ orders to keep drinking lots and lots of water and to stay off my feet. I'm pretty much allowed to get up to go to the bathroom (which is like every 5min w/ all the water I'm drinking). Still just trying to get to 36 weeks but it is going to be tough since I can't take care of our older two now. I'm also not sure how often I'll be able to get on my computer to update now but I'll try to get on when I can and let you guys know.
Hope everyone else is doing well T&P to those who need them.
