Yesterday evening, I had my registration appointment at the hospital...it went well & I'm all signed up.
When I came out of the appointment, there was a message on my phone from my Midwife's office...I thought it'd just be a routine update about my ultrasound from Thursday...but she didn't leave any details like usual instead asking that I call her that evening or 1st thing this morning.
Well, I called back right away...turns out that although my Girl passed the Bio Physical Profile with flying colours scoring 8/8 my over all fluid level in all 4 quadrants was low...no need to be overly concerned since overall everything looks great & I wasn't leaking any fluid but as a precaution she asked that I meet her at the hospital today for a Non-Stress Test.
You can imagine me, being such a worry wart, & how much this news put me on edge...but I'm very proud of myself for keeping perspective & remaining calm...& for once Dr.Google actually put my mind at ease...for the most part.
My Girl passed the Non-Stress Test beautifully scoring 10/10 & showing excellent reactions...& what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than listening to my Daughter's heartbeat for over 1/2 an hour! My blood pressure was up...but that's understandable considering I was worried.
I'll have to go for more ultrasounds (I think I can handle that) & probably more NST...& they'll probably have me deliver before 40 weeks...in the mean time, I can continue regular activity...I did ask if they were sure I should continue to work...but no dice there ;) I'll have to stick it out the next 2 weeks...
Glad she's such a trooper... and will be here soon!
ReplyDeleteStressful! I'm sure everything will work out just fine. Extra ultrasounds sound like a great idea to me - any chance to see the little babe, right?
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what those phone calls feel like. So scary. I'm very glad everything is ok and you can relax again. (FWIW, I had weekly NSTs after 34 weeks and was induced on my due date)
ReplyDeleteSigh of relief.. bet you can't wait to meet her :)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you two this week. Glad to hear that everything is okay, though. I think I probably would have been pretty freaked myself. Good for you for keeping your head on straight ... mostly. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you to meet your daughter!
Happy to hear she passed the test!
