Yesterday I went in for my appointment. The baby is very squished and moves a lot. Dixie (my Midwife) checked me and I'm at 4+ dilated. She thinks that I will have the baby before Thanks Giving. I don't think that anything will happen though unless she strips me. Today I went in for and ultrasound to check the baby's fluid levels. 2 Weeks ago my levels were at 11.2 and today they were 10.7 . The girl thinks that I could still be about the same though because the pockets that were measured could be different ones. Anyway for those of you who have never had low fluid I will explain. Anything above a 10 is good. On average though this far along most people are about a 20. The levels start to get dangerous once you go below 10 and if you get to a 5 they will do and intervention and deliver the baby. One of my sisters had low fluid and they and to deliver the baby, so I guess that it runs in the family. On Thursday I go back in to see Dixie so she can check me again so that I don't get so far dilated that the baby comes to fast that they can't give me the antibiotic. Well I'm so ready to have this baby and I can't wait to meet him. I'm wondering if he will have red hair. I think at this point I would be shocked if he didn't.
We LOVE red hair!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are doing so well! And your fluids are doing GREAT! Mine got under 3. so 10 just sounds FANTASTIC!!! and by the way...you haven't posted recent belly pics. I am requesting them now. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you to have him! I had low fluids with our first too, and they have been checking mine ever since. I think mine got down to a 5 with Nyah. This time around, I am holding a 15, which is great! I am so happy that you are at the end of your pregnancy! Can't wait to see him!
