Update: I'm being admitted to the hospital

Baby isn't growing well and my fluid is low. They said his femur is in the 1st percentile but the rest is bigger. They are going to give me steroids and monitor me for a day to see if the fluid goes up. This is what I've been worried about.

Update:  After being monitored for 24 hours, they determined that things looked good enough to send me home!  I had to do a 24-hour protein catch and the results are still pending, but from my blood pressure readings, there is nothing that indicates pre-eclampsia (though apparently there is some secondary form of it where the mother doesn't have high BP).  When I was checked into L&D, my fluid levels were at 5 and this morning, they were at 8, after an IV drip all night.  They also said the cord flow looked okay and the heart rate throughout the night looked fine, despite a couple of decelerations.  The baby is measuring at the 22nd percentile, which isn't bad in itself, but they just don't want him to fall off the growth charts.   I'm on bed rest at home until further notice, but looks like baby is staying inside for now!  Thanks for all your support.
