so today was my 28 week and 4 day appt. it started well my blood pressure was normal for the 2nd straight month at 127/77 and my weight was I lost a pound Im suppose to be gaining weight at 1 lb a week but in a month I lost a pound. Which I know doesnt sound that great but my dr didnt mention it and frankly im happy beucase I totally thought I gained alot since Ive been eating alot and too many popscilces.Hey it was hot right? Well the baby was measuring big still not as bad as last time but still big. And they put me on fetal monitor beucase the babys not moving like it was before barely and then when it does maybe 10 all day long till about midnight or 11:30 when I feel a few and thats it. So she was worried and sure enough she didnt like the readings and they gave me some apple juice YUMMY!! and that still didnt get her moving so she did an ultrasound to check the fluid and check the baby and if they didnt like the findings then im headed for the hospital STAT!! What the hell is that about! Ijust thought it was becuase maybe a growth spurt imean she does move but very little so the findings were good she was practicing breathing there the whole time which amazed my ob since they usually just start not as much as she was in there and only moved 2 times in there. She thought my placenta moved up since I had PLACENTA PREVIA and that was a relief but I have to make an appt for my Perintologist which is my high risk specialist to do a very invasive ultrasound with some testing to determine if everythign is all good and dandy in there which on the ultrasound today showed positive results so no hospital for me Woo Talk about an adrenaline rush and getting sweaty. Who the heck wants to stay in labor and delivery certainly not I. But I am happy with my ob appt overall. So I see her again in 4 weeks at 32 weeks if everythign is fine and then its weekly from there on out. Im crossing my fingers about this.
