Admitted to Antepartum *updated in comments*

So after being in l&d triage last night and being sent home, my doctor sent me for an ultrasound today. Ultrasound showed low amniotic fluid, so I was admitted straight to antepartum. Level 2 ultrasound was done, and it showed oligohydramnios as my AFI was less than 5 and IUGR as baby's abdominal circumference is only in the 3rd%ile. Her anatomy is otherwise perfect - she is just really small and needs fluid. Admitted to L&D antepartum for the foreseeable future according to my OB, but that is pending the opinion of the maternal fetal medicine doctor who is coming to see me tomorrow morning. Hoping for more answers then. As for now, getting steroids, lots of IV fluids and lab work.

Just needed a place to write all this down. I have been a sparse poster since week 5 of my pregnancy, but cannot tell you ladies how much reading this forum has helped me throughout this pregnancy.

  • Sending my positive thoughts your way.
  • Some details I forgot originally - we are 30 weeks today. FTM. We are having a girl, and her name is Juliet.

    Talked to the high risk doctor - I officially have PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension) due to really high protein in my 24 hr urine. However my blood pressure is still normal. Baby's fluid is still low and she's really small (IUGR/intrauterine growth restriction small) but otherwise she looked great on the biophysical profile ultrasound and the 40 min of monitoring she gets every night and morning. The PIH bought me a sentence of hospital bed rest and monitoring until delivery. First goal is 34 weeks - my blood pressure and labs have to stay normal or okay and baby has to continue to be a tiny rockstar. If everything goes as well as it possibly could I will be induced or c sectioned at 37 weeks.

    Thank you to everyone sending thoughts and prayers our way - they are much appreciated!!

    Sorry to hear the news about hypertension! I'm sure it must be frustrating to be on bed rest for the foreseeable future. However, it sounds like your doctors are very on top of it and that they're giving you the attention that you and Juliet need - which is a huge plus! Keep us updated, will keep you and your family in my prayers!

  • Thank you for updating! It sounds like you are in good hands. Though the bed rest may suck, know that you are doing everything to keep that baby safe and growing. I will keep you both in my prayers.
  • The best of luck to you! I know how it feels having preterm scares. Let's hope baby stays in for a good while! Hospital bed rest sounds rough but you'll get through it =)
  • Thinking of you and baby and hoping that you both stay well and reach that 34 week goal. Will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

  • Good luck.  Fingers and toes crossed for you.
  • Sounds like you're in great hands!!! Baby girl and I also are IUGR and see our high risk doctor every week!! Good luck keeping the little one cookin in there!!! Hopefully the extra fluids and rest are helping blood flow and promitimg growth, we've see a significant improvement since I've been on bed rest!! Sending good vibes :)
  • Thank you to everyone for the prayers. Today we had a change in plans to be more day by day than originally thought. I won't be allowed to eat every morning until I get my biophysical profile ultrasound. If my amniotic fluid levels still look good and baby is doing well, we bake another day. If anything decreases, it's c section that day.

    Thanks for the update! Keep that baby cooking! Will keep praying for you and your family!
