Update to L & D Visit last week

jgilesslp · June 2014

I am sorry I can't find my original post...I tried going back several pages. With that said, I went to L &D a week ago in the evening due to lack of movement. Little guy was monitored and his heart rate kept dropping but since it was strong when it was up the let me go home with a planned Bio Physical the next day. He passed that but after my OB visit today my OB is still concerned about his size. He was 94th percentile at my last ultrasound and they moved by due date ahead a week because of this. Well now he is measuring 98th percentile. I now need to check my blood sugars regularly (I failed my 1 hour but passed my 3 hour) to be sure we aren't missing GD. I also need a more in depth ultrasound at Maternal and Fetal Medicine to be sure we aren't missing something going on with the little guy. I have also started swelling in my feet and in particular one hand and one foot (oddly opposite sides) so I am trying my best to hydrate and put up my feet. This is my last week of full time work (will be going to part time) so hoping that will help but I do have two little guys at home already so it wont be completely easy. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. I know they are keeping me strong and as calm as one can me. I will update again when I know more. Health wishes to you all...we are getting close!

It sounds like you are in good hands! I hope your condition improves and LO is thriving in there!

Yes, I am thankful to have an OB that keeps on top of things. (Bummed she will be on vacation most likely when I deliver especially since she delivered my last two!) She could easily say he passed his biophysical and he is fine and that I passed my 3 hour so no need to check anything. I am glad she is cautious. Would rather be over cautious in this case. Thank you all. I will continue to update as I find out more.
