I am at the hospital

I went for my monitoring appointment and then dr. appointment to follow today. During the monitoring I had a huge contraction and then the baby's heartrate went up and stayed up for ever and then went really low. They monitored me for awhile longer and things seemed to settle down. Next they did an ultrasound to check the fluid level, which they do weekly. Last week my fluid was 11 and today it was 3.7. Way to low to let me go. I did go to my dr appointment and she rechecked the fluid and it was 4.1. Still in the same range. She had me go home and get my stuff and be admitted for monitoring of the baby. She comes on duty tomorrow at 7 so if all goes well tonight and the baby doesn't have any issues then we will deliver tomorrow. They were going to do cervadil tonight and see who things looked in the morning. If I was progressing then we would attempt a vag. delivery and if not the c section. They just came in a few minutes ago and said that I was contracting every 3-4 minutes and that they were going to wait on the cervadil. I guess time will tell. I am 36 weeks today and they have told me that normally 36 weekers do great and go home with their mom. I am so nervous about that. I don't want to relive the whole extended stay thing. I will keep you posted. Your prayers are definately welcome!!!

 

Best of luck for a smooth and easy delivery of a very healthy baby! You'll be in my prayers....

 

I am praying for an easy and successful delivery.
