Have to take things day by day....

Well, at the doctor's office this morning, she decided I needed to go back to Fetal Diagnostics again. So I headed over there. I spent about 3 hours there. The fluid was pretty much the same as yesterday. On the first measure, she came up with 3.7. So she brought in one of the nurses who measured me yesterday and this one got 5.6. I also had the pleasure of stimulating some contractions so they could see what they baby did in response to them. I don't really understand all of this either, but I guess they were okay with it because they finally sent me home.

I am really frustrated because I can't get a feel from doctor if all of this is okay or if she really has something else planned for me. She did mention something about 37 weeks, so I'm thinking that she is just hoping that my placenta hangs on for another 2 weeks and then she might induce. This however, is just speculation on my part.

On Thursday I have a growth ultrasound and will also be going back to Fetal Diagnostics. The U/S is done at a maternal and fetal specialists office, so I'm going to show up there prepared to ask lots of questions - they seem to be better about giving me answers.

In the meantime, just bedrest. Jeremy has been great in helping me out. I hear his mom is coming out this weekend to help us out too.
