Good News today Went to see hight risk doctor today and have detailed ultrasound of baby Thor. My fluid was again building up ans now at 32 (25 is high). The baby was also measuring large, in fact he meassured 98% and almost 5 pounds. Those are good things if I have him early, scary if I carry him full term and have 15 pound boy. I will take those risks I guess. Each organ looked to be functioning great and strong pair of lungs. The doctor could not find any issues with anything. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck but not tight and Blaine had the same thing too. He would like to test me weekly for diabetes and continue to do weekly scans of baby, which my regular OB can perform. I have been asked to stop all exercising and no long walks and go easy since my contractions are still happening. Big fear Dr said was a membrane rupturing. I guess that is only thing I don't understand. What are membranes? He said due to water I was already a high risk for that. Dr said I s...

I want to document pretty much everything about this crazy pregnancy now so I don't forget this crazy ride. I posted I had an amnio reduction on Sunday afternoon. My doctor did it since the high risk doctor was not available. He had done many before so I was okay with it. They brought the ultrasound machine into my hospital room, a bucket that said amnio reduction and said let's do this. The nurse laid out the vacuum bottles, needle, gloves, tubing and cleaning material while my doctor measured and checked baby and best place to do the reduction. There are four pockets areas and they want to do the largest and furthest away from baby. Bobby was in the room the whole time and experienced it with me, which was nice. I was asked if I needed numbing meds but told most don't use it. I opted out of the extra shot and went for no meds. The doctor talked the nurse through her steps and they began. I later asked the nurse how common this procedure was and she replied she had only ...

After waking up in pain at 1am on Saturday morning, I took myself and Blaine to Mimi's for help. I took over their massive tub and Blaine got spoiled by his Mimi. The pain lessened for a bit after an hour bath but returned with a vengeance. Called my Dr for advice and received a muscle relaxed. It did dull the pain but revealed I had been having contractions too. Those did not subside so Bobby and I decided to be safe and go to hospital. My amazing Dr was already here so able to assess me and get me on drugs to stop the contractions I was having every two minutes but was barely dilated so that's good. More test, blood, iv, shots that hurt bad-rather stung bad and antibiotics dir to blood in urine. Expected to get a reduction of fluid in morning but taking a pill to help reduce it every two hours now. Crazy...feel like a drug lady. Send Bobby home to get some sleep and so he could bring essentials to me in morning. If reduction goes smooth there is a chance I could be release...

May 22, 2013. Two weeks ago the doctor informed what I thought...I have a lot of amniotic fluid. He was not concerned too much but decided to see me every two weeks. Which brings us to today 5-22-23. Today was different. It was serious and detailed in information. My mom and niece were with me and all I could think was I wish Bobby was here so I could tune this out and just see the baby in the ultrasound. That is my favorite part normally. No pictures today just lots of measuring. I tried and still trying to trust God and not stress. Let me say I am 30 weeks today. I am huge! I look like I put a beach ball under my shirt that weighs as much as a bowling ball. My stomach is tight, hard and very uncomfortable. No stretch marks but I look like I was due yesterday or rather two weeks ago. Strangers and even those close to me think so too. Today I was diagnosed officially with polyhydramnios, meaning too much amniotic fluid. I read and researched the normal fluid lev is between 9-25cm. ...
