Maybe I shouldn’t have posted my super optimistic post about making it to 37 weeks. Apparently it jinxed me.
Today at my scheduled NST/AFI Gwen wasn’t moving around. I’ve now gotten used to this and we call he a lazy baby. Today she was so lazy they had to do another BPP. During the ultrasound they found out that my amniotic fluid had dropped down to a 5. Anything below 5 can mean immediate delivery, apparently normal is above 10.
She passed her BPP thanks to the fact that she has breathing movements and started to kick. The doctor however told me I couldn’t do any more of my NST at that hospital. I now have to go to UVRMC for all of them since that’s where they could handle a baby born before 34 weeks. I asked if next week (I’ll be 34 weeks then) I can come back to AF hospital and she said no. Ya sure, the Periantologist is stationed at UVRMC but my OB’s don’t deliver there so if she does have to be taken I’d have a doctor I don’t know delivering her. I’m going to ask one of the other high risk doc’s about it on Friday.
When I got home I called to schedule all the tests. I found out that this friday they not only want the normal NST/AFI but a full ultrasound to make sure she is still growing. The nurse also asked if the doctor had mentioned that I’m on strict bed rest now. NO, she didn’t. I was not thrilled and cried when I got off the phone. Just getting out of bed to go to the restroom is no ones idea of fun. I can “prop” up to eat then I have to lay back down on either side. This will be great for the heartburn. 
Jeremy is now going to start going to all my NST appointments with me just in case they do have to do a c-section, otherwise he’d miss her birth. While I want to stay optimistic about making it to 37 weeks the doctor today made it sound like she just wanted me to get past Saturday. At this rate with all this roller coaster stuff, friday they may decide to let me go overdue!!! Okay, probably not.
