Being a bad girl and cross-posting from my journal:

So I spoke just a *little* bit too soon. Let me start off by saying that the baby is fine - she's moving regularly and heartbeat is 164. However, she's actually small for this far along in the pregnancy (18th percentile), and her fluids are low. She's also breech, even though she had been head down as of a few weeks ago. Being breech in and of itself wouldn't be too big an issue as I could go to an appointment in which they'd hook me up to an external monitor and they'd do their poking and prodding to get her in the right position. But being that her fluid is low, they can't do that. Apparently if there's not enough fluid, it creates too much friction and they can't risk trying to flip her around.

So what does this all mean? First it means that I go back to the doctor's tomorrow. A doctor, not a midwife. I'm not exactly sure what they'll be doing tomorrow, but there are a couple of possible outcomes. If she remains breech and fluids are so low that they can't turn her around, they will schedule a c section around week 37 or 38. If she flips, I might still have a regular birth. I also have to increase my water consumption. I drink 1 liter a day now as it is, but I'm increasing that now to at least 1.5 liters. I've also been advised to stay out of work until Monday (definitely not sad about that at all.)

It's really a day-by-day thing right now. I really just have to go with the flow. She may or may not be here early. I may or may not need a c section. It's all completely up in the air.

Why is this happening? Even though my numbers have been fine, low fluid and small size can be a result of the GD. But the midwife (I saw Warm & Fuzzy today, yay!) said that I did absolutely nothing wrong, that I've been doing everything right, and to not blame myself.

 

[babyb54]

Aw, definitely don't blame yourself HK! The good news is that you are SO far along (just a few days until she's term!).. Ariana will be just fine, though your delivery might not be as you'd planned. I think you're in a great mind about it - just go with the flow, and trust that your doctor and midwife know and will do what's best for your little girl. Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping that your fluid levels go back up and that she flips! But if not, I'm looking forward to seeing photos of that beautiful little girl just a little bit early!

 

[babyb54]

@trgirl - Thank you! And yes, I've got a good one! Love him. : )

Happy 1st Birthday Acorns! This thread was made 1 year ago today!

 

[hakunamatata]

Happy birthday acorns!!

Naughty cross-post:

Update:

Appointment seemed to go well today. Doc had a quick peek inside, and water has not broken yet and I'm not dilated; everything is intact. Baby's size is currently on par with what would be typical for 33 weeks instead of 36, but 18th percentile isn't truly alarming; he said that he would be much more alarmed if she were lower than 10th percentile. Baby's head is normal size, but body is ever so slightly smaller. The asymmetry is nothing to worry about and is measurable by mere centimeters, and it is temporary. She will eventually be perfectly proportional.

I go back on Friday for another ultrasound to test fluid levels. Doc said that baby's squirminess is the best indicator that she's doing great. He does not expect though that at this point that she will flip, even if I tried the non-scientifically proven cold compresses, loud music, etc. There just simply isn't enough fluid, and she would have already flipped by now. There is a slight chance she could still flip, but the doc seems pretty sure I'm having a c-section. It's just a matter of when; it'll be anytime between now and the next few weeks. Basically our bags are packed just in case Friday is the day. If fluid levels have decreased significantly, I get the c-section. If fluid levels are the same, we are waiting. My fluids will be monitored at least once a week, and growth will be checked in two weeks. They will compare fluid levels and determine when is the best time to schedule the c-section. We are probably looking at 39 weeks max (June 3rd).

Interesting fact is that placental aging is only a result in GD when the mom is on insulin. The fact that my placenta is not functioning optimally seems to be completely independent of that because I'm not on any medication for the GD.

Anyway... deep down, I always knew I was too posh to push

 

[mouse_chicky]

Hope everything goes okay, HM. You'll have your healthy, beautiful girl very soon. I liked that "too posh to push" thing. I guess I was too.

Awesome update on the list vanilla.

Happy birthday Autumn Acorns!
