Well this week was somewhat eventful. I was threatened with the dreaded bed restriction. I went for my regular appointment on Wednesday and told my doctor that baby girl has not been moving very much the last couple of days. Like a drastic change. So, she had me do a non-stress test and baby girl was reactive in the beginning but dropped off. Then she did a sonogram and noticed that my placenta is already looking older (so smokers placenta once again) and that my fluids around baby look low. Thankfully they measured OK. She gave baby girl a test which she scored 6 out of 8 on. She did not do a breathing gesture and is concerned that if she is not happy in her surroundings that she may not be developing her lungs like she should. It does not help that I am still measuring small and she is measuring big. I wish my belly would grow to give her more space!
So, she told me to pack my bags (just in case) and then set up an appointment for me at ATC. Talk about a stressful night. I was 33 weeks (almost 34) and still have a month and a half. I am realizing that she may not make it to her due date of May 14th but at least May 7th would be nice. Or at least May! She is roughly 5 lbs right now and I would like her to be bigger. I would rather have a bigger baby than a small one. Colin was 7 lbs 9 oz (and lost to about 6 lbs 2 after birth) and he was a good size.
Thankfully she did better the next day. She did the breathing gesture once and did better on the other test. She is not moving as much as she was but is moving more than the last few days. Stressing mommy out!
