My mood while writing this blog: Stressed |
So much to report this week, where do I start? I weighed in at 164 so I have gained 5 ounds in the last 2 weeks. I had an appt yesterday. It was with the perinatologist but he never showed so the ultrasound tech did the scan and said the baby's abdomen is measuring 2 and a half weeks behind, the baby has dropped to the 3rd percentile and my cervix has dropped from 24 mm to 18 mm in the last 2 weeks I told a nurse I would see them on Monday at my next appt and she said, "Oh you will be hearing from us alot sooner than that" great, now I am a worried mess! I have been put on strict bedrest with bathroom priveliges. Meanwhile I have to figure out what to do with getting my 7 year old off to school for the next month. I told him he is gonna have to eat the school food the rest of the year cuz I can't get up to make his lunch every morning and I have asked the bus driver for a permission slip that will allow him to walk home from the bus stop so I don't have to be sitting there waiting on him as sometimes I am waiting the for 20 - 30 minutes but I am not comfortable with him being there waiting for the bus without me in the morning so I drove him there and just reclined my car seat all the way back while waiting on the bus. I asked the ultrasound tech if she could get a profile shot since of the baby since we didn't get one last time, she said it wouldn't be a very good one because the baby is so far down in my pelvis and he is also facing the placenta, but she turned it on 3d for just a second and we got a pretty decent shot of the nose, lips one eye and a hand. He wouldn't stop moving so thats the only shot I got of his face but it is so amazing to be able to see all those details. I haven't done my 3 hour glucose test, I am supposed to this week, but now I am wondering if I am on bedrest, should I go and sit there for 3 hours? Which is more important, the bedrest order or the glucose test? I am voting on bedrest and I am gonna put it off until I hear from the doctor. Besides if I did have GD eating incorrectly for a week or 2 could add some much needed weight to my little boy. I will update again when I hear from the doctor's office. I know the perinatoligist is only there 2 days a week so I am not sure if he will call thursday or a doctor or midwife will call today.
