OT: my newest pregnancy update...
Howdy All!
So I saw my high risk doc today. Went in and first things first was the ultrasound. The Ultrasound tech was fantastic. Took her time explaining all the measurements and views she was getting. They just got brand new machines so she tried to do a 3D pic for me, but someone was covering her face every time we tried! U/S Tech said if she has me in two weeks she will see if she can get it then! :-) Little bugger was moving through the whole thing... everything except her hand!!!
With all her measurements Alastrina is measuring in the 49th percentile, which she said is a bit small, she is measuring at 24W4days and I am 24w6Days. She said unless she was measuring in less than the 10th percentile they don't worry about it.
So Doc came in and we were discussing everything that happened last week. He was concerned by the reaction of the doctor I saw on Tuesday. He said that I probably should have called him after the response I got, but nothing we can do now. After discussing it, the decision was made to give me a prescription for Procardia to try and stop the contractions. The decision was also made to put me on bed rest for the next 8 weeks. That will take me to 32 just about 33 weeks at which point we will decide if we need to do a c-section of just leave me on bed rest to carry further.
My cervix has compressed a little and that is part of why I am being put on bed rest at this point.
I go back to see them in two weeks and will continue to see him Biweekly while I see the regular OB Biweekly.
And that my friends is how it went!!!
