Had to go to L&D... (a bit long, sorry!)

LO's movements decreased dramatically yesterday (only felt her move 5x in 8hrs when I usually feel her at least 10x every other hr) and after calling my dr, I was told to go to L&D asap. It was frightening to say the least and it took everything in me to not cry. The first 45mins was awful b/c her hb was low (not dangerously, but enough for concern) and she was not moving around, but after 3hrs or so, she eventually came around with a vengence, lol and we were cleared to go back home after a total of 7hrs. Dh and I were very relieved but there was no clear explaination as to why she barely moved for most of yesterday, all of the testing they did came back normal. I guess she was having one of those LAZY days, but she really gave us a scare. After we go home, I think I cried for about 20mins just out of relief. I had a sheduled appt w/my dr today and went and although I'm feeling very sore today, she's back to her busy playful self and I couldn't be happier. But now dr really wants me to be extra careful and to call asap if she stops moving around again or if I start feeling weak, have lower back ache, ect. She's still breach and although I still have some time left, something tells me she's not gonna move. Both my dr and specialist say that due to my size as well as the location of my placenta, inversion would not be an option for me, so if she doesn't get right in the next few wks, I may very well be looking at a C-section Sad. After everything I've been through, all I want is for her to get here safely. I'm so mentally and physically drained and I want to nap but I can't, especially b/c baby girl has decided that she's gonna use my insides as a trampoline, lol!!!

    Glad everything turned out ok.  There's still quite a bit of time so hopefully she will turn and get in the right position.

    Oh my gosh how scary, I would have cried the whole time too. Even if you do have to get a c-section at least you will know it is for the best for your baby! Good luck and hopefully she stays active :)

    I can only imagine how you felt. I had one day where my baby boy was less active and the next day at the doc they hooked me up to the monitoring system to make sure I wasnt having contractions and to monitor his HR for a longer time, the whole time I was hooked up I felt on the verge of tears just at the threat of something being wrong. I'm glad everything went ok for you! I'll pray that you just have a late flipper :)
