So after last weeks ultrasound I had a bit of an uneasy feeling because the u/s took so long and the tech went to ask the doctor something. They told me my doctor would be in touch this week. I called my doctor yesterday and told the receptionist I thought something was up and was hoping they could look at my results. Well the nurse called me back a few hours later and said they needed to see me today- she gave me some details, but I got everything explained today.
Basically the baby is small, the fluid is low, and they aren't sure why! Sooo... the first thing she did was write me off work and put me on modified bed rest. She is sending me for another ultrasound tomorrow, and one every week after that. I am also going to see her weekly, and she is sending me to a hospital with a well know perinatal unit- here a team of specialists will try to find out why the fluid levels are so low... they will also monitor them closely. If the levels drop or stay the same they will make the decision week by week of whether to deliver or not. Hopefully the baby's levels will increase and we will make it atleast another 6 weeks... If she doesn't- our doctor said there is a 98% chance all will be fine, she will just on a respirator for awhile- but ateast they think she will be ok- i will find out more about that next week at the specialist. In the meantime- I am here, on my couch, on modified bed rest.
I am sure my updates will be much more regular now that I am home with not much to do but go online, watch tv, and go to doctors and ultrasound appointments!
If anyone has any tips for bedrest let me know!! Also pass along any book and movie recommendations!!
