Uni- so totally understand..not irrational at all.. it's completely normal. You are doing incredibly great! Yes, so reassuring baby is moving so much. And dr. told me the other week with the tests on baby weekly, years of their research and experience has shown that baby will be healthy and good until the next week. That's why they want me going in every 7 days for another test. I have such incredibly good feelings for you and think that's great you are installing the car seat!
Mack- bet your fluid will be better on Friday. I'll start drinking some stevia drinks. I will never go in again when that other tech is there. Caused such unnecessary worry and hospital rush. I am sure you can just stick with the good tech now too til the end.
Sweety - yes, that is me who friended you! So glad your parents are there and so nice you have so many visitors. Enjoy.
Caz- that was my lucky guess on your name! Did you ever try any labor inducing tips with your son? I'm thinking of trying some soon, as I was told first babies usually go late.
Inviv- all thinking about you and babies and hope you are recovering nicely and getting to spend lots of time with them in hospital.
My visit was good, thank God. Baby grew from 5.7 to 6.2 in a week. Fluid went lower though. 7.2 now and if it goes below 7 it is a concern. So I have to up fluids as sick as they make me.
Strep test was not bad at all.
Going to take a 2nd short babymoon tomorrow to Newport and maybe Boston since I got so sick on other one. Dr. said, as I thought, nothing at all is happening so should be safe.
Take good care and stay cool!
As long as the NSTs look good, there's not considered a medical reason to do the scan a week early. But, it sure would have been nice for my peace of mind. There's still a part of me that doesn't really believe I'll still be pregnant next week, that history will repeat itself. I know it's irrational, but it's hard to see past Friday. Part of me wishes they would admit me to the hospital so I could be on the monitors 24/7. But, so far so good with baby. She passes her NSTs and biophysicals with flying colors. One of the nurses said to me today to make sure I felt movement every hour. I'm not sure I understood her correctly, but I think she was saying that if even one hour went by without feeling her, I should go in. I probably would at this point, I don't need any encouragement to be paranoid lol
Hang in there, and go in if you need it. Whatever it takes to help you out.
Everything was fine, she just got lined up behind the placenta and I couldn't feel any kicks. It was the OB I didn't like on call. I refused a pelvic exam from her because I'm obviously no where near labor, and I just don't like her. Also, she gave me a pelvic exam just before my loss, so I was worried it would trigger me to have her do it. The nurse was kind of rude too or maybe it was just in my head because of my least favorite OB had me in a bad mood. But, the woman who does the biophysical profile I've met a few times before and she is super sweet. She is just so nice and reassuring and always says exactly the right thing, so that put me back at ease. Everything was fine, but then the OB wouldn't let me go home because my first blood pressure reading had been a little high (uhm yeah? I had just rushed to the hospital for reduced movement duh). So, I was made to sit around and get several normal readings before I could go home which was sort of annoying. Then I had to get up and go into the office this morning for my last "in person" day, so I was super sleepy. But, still glad I went in. Never would have fallen asleep probably otherwise! Tonight, she's being super agreeable fx I have another NST scheduled for tomorrow. 
I wanted to say something to her, but I figured she probably gets too many comments already so I bit my tongue. But, I really was wondering how she managed, with all the weight out in the front and not supported by her sides or hips. I can't stop thinking about her, wondering how she manages.
