Baby updates

Monday, we had a good appointment.
Contractions off an on this week.
Thursday, not so good of an appointment. Not bad, but not good either.

My blood pressure was OK but I had a high pulse. That hasn't gone down all day. No idea why.

We had a "non-responsive" NST. She didn't want to wake up enough to have her heart accellerations and I wasn't feeling movement.

We had a biophysical profile. She was "breathing", she kicked, cord pressure was fine, amniotic fluid was within a normal range. However, it went from 20 last week, to 10 this week. It concerned me enough to bring it up, and doc agreed, we'd watch it close.

They went ahead and measured her, even though it had only been 2 weeks. They typically wait 3 to 4. So, her growth has slowed. It hasn't stopped, but slowed. Typically, they grow a half pound per week now. From two weeks ago, her weight went from 5.1 to 5.9. Not much. Her stomach was showing to be small too.

I go back on Monday for a NST again and they're going to watch us closer next week. Honestly, I have 2 weeks until the c-section, and I think we'll all be surprised if I get to that point. But, we'll see!

I may be dehydrated, which could case the high pulse and low fluid levels. So I'll pump myself full of fluids this weekend and see if things improve.
