for your homebirth =D
I have a BIG(ish) update.
I went to my MW appointment yesterday and my amniotic fluid was borderline low (5.7). They reffered me to a bigger hospital with a NICU because they thought I might be having the baby yesterday O_O
Needless to say, it was a crazy few hours. I don't even have my bags ready... anyway, it was a roller coaster.
I went for the appointment at the bigger hospital at 3. They did a growth u/s and baby is measuring right at 35 weeks
and the amniotic fluid was at 8
again. So then I talked to two of the head obstetricians there. They were really happy about baby's growth. Because of my blood pressure and the AF, I will have to have NSTs (non-stress tests) twice a week and an u/s once a week from now on. If everything stays the same, they will schedule an induction or c-section (if she's still breech, which she probably will be because there isn't much amniotic fluid for her to turn) at 39 weeks. If my blood pressure gets out of control or the baby stops growing, they will move it to 37 or 38 weeks. Either way, my baby won't be born a premmie
(I just started crying typing that).
Now I have at least 2 weeks to clean the house, the car and prepare the bags
I also want to say that my DH was AMAZING through all this yesterday. I couldn't have chosen a better partner
Sorry for the long post =)
