my OB says i should be good and ripe for induction still gonna keep my hubby busy just to make sure lol! cant hurt to move things along as much as possible.

shells- we could be getting induced on the same day, yay!!!! i have a scan tomorrow to check fluid again. and one scheduled for next wednesday, but may not stand depending how tomorrows goes. i had one today, but the results got messed up so they have to do it again tomorrow.

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

Blessed what was your fluid levels at if you dont mind me asking?

 

[blessedmomma]

it was 5.9 two weeks ago, 4.8 last week, and today 5.5

but the scan lady erased some of the results today and it showed 6.4 after. she had already seen it said 5.5 before that so they have to redo it tomorrow. i guess there is no way to bring the results back up after they are erased.

there is so little fluid in there with him every time he moves its literally painful. sometimes he kicks his feet out on one side of me and his butt out on the other and my tummy looks so ridiculous. like a little alien trying to bust out. i have never had so much pain from a baby moving before. even his squirms hurt.

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

my results were 15, it makes me so confused cause I am in so much pain too when he moves, I guess it because hes over 6lbs already

 

[blessedmomma]

maybe your really sensitive to his movements too? he is big already!

my OB is checking me for anemia again too. i guess i was borderline anemic at 28 weeks when they did blood work. i told her i have been having some headaches that are not going away with tylenol and i have been having dizzy spells and seeing stars lately. so i guess it could be anemia? dont know anything about it, but gonna wait til i hear if i have it or not before i look it up.

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

yeah they put me on ferro sequels 325mg two time a day along with prenatal vit. ugh it makes me so sick but I guess its really important...makes the red cells to provide O2 to baby.

hope you feel better.

 

[blessedmomma]

i wonder if there is any relation to low amniotic fluid? my Ob says that sometimes it can be caused from baby not getting enough oxygen. they still havent figured out why mine is low

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

I talked with the specialist today and she asked me if 15 was good or not regarding the fluid levels I told her I'm not sure....the ultrasound tech said its right in the middle so I am guessing that is good....I wonder if anemia/low hemoglobin levels affect amnio levels I will have to ask when I see them....very puzzling

 

[blessedmomma]

it would be interesting to know. i dont know how long i have to wait to hear back about my blood work. i kinda was thinking its pointless to check it if im induced next friday. i mean how much of a difference will it make if i find out next week and start taking iron for a couple days at the most, then get induced? does iron levels go back to normal after the baby is born?

how are you doing with all your issues sammy? anything getting any better?

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

I think it takes time to regulate but it should. they probably would put you on iron to help increase you blood count, if too low which in some cases some need blood transfusion but I dont think its too common.

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

well we had the follow up for kidney's today, I posted earlier, I think it some how it got missed. oh well anyways one kidney self regulated and on is still a bit larger than it should be (only increased 1mm) Maternal fetal medicine has referred us to CHOP- Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to see a urologist, basically it comes down to they are going to give Jonathan some round(s) of antibiotics and then rescan his kidneys 3 weeks later...they are just watching his weight now...got asked about my GD test if it had come back normal or what....6lbs at 33 weeks seems a bit big you think. I have to go back in at 37 weeks to check his size, my OB and I havent even talked but I am sure we will be talking at our next visit Feb 22. Sorry for being so long

 

[blessedmomma]

hopefully his other kidney will regulate itself too after the antibiotics. poor lil guy. already got problems to be dealt with

how are you doing? anymore bleeding or cramps?

no everything is doing well, just hurts when he moves actually he kicks more than rolls it just amazes me, I use to enjoy baby movement while pregnant with David and now I am so ready to be done...it hurt like heck and hes always awake. During our scan today we saw him yawning...funning thing is he's probably tired but always seems to be kicking away...little stinker

 

[blessedmomma]

LOL- isnt it amazing how they already have their personalities showing before they are born?!! yours sounds ornery already

mine is very quiet but when he does move, boy watch out- it hurts so bad! theres just no cushion in there. i hope mine is as mellow as he seems.

i really used to love just watching and feeling my tummy wiggle all around when they move too. feel kinda jipped this time. he cant move without it just taking my breath away or doubling me over. really sucks that its taking away from all the last trimester touchy feely baby emotions i usually get

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

I know...its also pretty crazy how pregnancies vary one from another....my first was a breeze not complications or anything only time I went to L&D, no false labor.... 3 days later I left with our little david. this time around I have not only been to L&D several times but have been on bi-weekly's since 15 weeks and also monthly maternal fetal medicine appt monthly....this has been one busy pregnant woman
