T&P update

[dvroxy]

Well, I have been on "modified" bedrest for the past 2 and half days which means I can get up and do stuff but my doctors want me to stay in bed as much as possible. Of course my mother took that as I do nothing and come to her house so she can take care of my daughter and wait on me. I honestly don't know what I would do without her.

My fluid level has dropped one point from where it was last time (I was at 8 when they gave me the first talk) and it is now dangerously low. I had an u/s on Tuesday at it was at 7. The range is 5-25 points, so I am definitely on the low side. Since it dropped one point within the week, I have another scheduled u/s tomorrow to see if the bedrest and fluids have helped. But if I drop to 5, I will be in the hospital (I am guessing I will have to get a c-section if it drops that low).

And since I ended up being induced early with DD due to hypertension, I had to have tests done yesterday just to make sure I am not pre-e. No results as of yet. Fortunately my blood pressure has stayed really low and I have had no swelling, but they are taking every precaution at this point, which I am incredibly happy about.

I just have this gut feeling that my fluids have dropped again. I am hoping my mommy intuition is wrong, but I am so worried that I am going to be rushed to the hospital tomorrow after this u/s. My mom even went out and bought me a few preemie outfits just in case. I know that if they have to do a c-section (the surgery doesn't bother me a bit) and keep her in the NICU that this is the best place to help her grow, but I can't even imagine leaving without my little girl in my arms.

So, hopefully tomorrow is nothing but good news and my fluids have not dropped anymore due to the bedrest and extra fluids. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts.

Thinking of you, DV. I had no dymptoms of Pre-e at all, so I hope that you don't have it either.

Even if she does have to be in the NICU, all mommas have the strength to let them grow there for a little while - sometimes, we don't think we have it, but it is there, in the corner of our souls

In the meantime, I am thinking Happy Thoughts, like Peter Pan!

I am sorry to hear this. It sounds really scary, but like amellis said it very well - and she has been through it with 2 babies in the NICU. I am glad your mom is so awesome and can help you out a lot. Moms are the best! Sending lots of T&P's for you and your little one!

Lots of t&p that your fluid isn't continuing to drop and your baby girl can stay put for a while.
