I feel like I'm never going to get off this monitor he deceled again yesterday and last night never for long but it looks like im going to be stuck with it for a while. The nurse did tell me I can always ask and refuse monitoring for a bit which I just might do for a couple hours throughout the day since thats when hes most stable its the night time when im laying down that we start having issues but he never stays down for more then like 2 minutes.

Still more of the same. He's deceling a littlenbut usually only for a few seconds now good news is we haven't really had to chase him today hes beens sticking close to the monitor which is good. Ive also been told I can unhook nand use the bathroom whenever I need to. Can't even explain how nice it is to not have to ask or tell someone everytime I need to pee I've also been given the green light from the doctor to take actual showers which is soooo nice they want me to limit my time in there obviously but still. I have the feeling I'm going to be on the monitor for the next few days at least. Sleeping is going to be the hardest part because I toss and turn and am I side sleeper and that seems to be when he gets into trouble. But my sister brought my all the HP books and movies on a labtop plus a ton more so now I have something else keep me occupied.
Great news I think! The monitor, while inconvenient, is a small price to pay to keep him cooking as long as possible! I get nervous every times click the thread and I'm so relieved to see that he's still on the inside! You're doing great momma!! Glad you have Harry to keep you company also!

I just got back from and ultrasound and pretty much all my fluid is gone which explains the decels hes having because his cord is directly under his legs so he keeps kicking it and standing on it. Not bad but it does mean I won't be getting off the monitor any time soon because we can't risk him pinching it and not moving off it. Whatever it is what it is I still get to move fairly freely so I'll take it. They said he weighs 1pound 14oz. Basically just in for a long and sometimes uncomfortable hall to make sure hes safe in there. But otherwise all quiet on the western front.

I'm glad they were able to identify the cause of the decels. I'm glad to hear you'll at least be able to continue getting up freely even with the continued constant monitoring.
I'm glad they were able to figure out the cause of the decels. This whole situation must be so difficult. I'm continuing to send positive thoughts to you and family!

Thanks ladies. The hardest part of this is just the long days by myself my family has been great coming and staying with my but still. It takes its toll mentally.
Is there a way to increase the fluids? I thought the amniotic fluid was essential.
I believe its just a matter of me getting my fluids. I thought so too but the doctors and ultrasound tech don't seem worried in the least. The tech said they'll probably give me another US next week to check and see if anything has changed but thats it. It werids me out but since they aren't worried in trying not to be.

Oh that's great! I'm sorry for all the questions, I'm just curious. I want Jackson to stay put as long as possible and my personality requires all the info.
Glad they don't seem to be too concerned. How's Harry? Did you start the books from the beginning?

Morning report: baby boy did really well last night. He dipped a few times but never for more the a couple minutes and the monitor only had to be repositioned I think once so I was able to sleep some through the night.

Well one of the doctors just came by and gave me the green light for a couple hours off the monitor. While I'm happy for a couple hours of freedom I am also kinda freeking about not hearing his heart. It's been in my ear for days so suddenly not hearing it is weird.

Hope you can enjoy the break lovetruly2015! I'm sure if it started to make you too anxious to not hear his HB they would put you back on it. Try to enjoy the break if you can - I imagine this first one at least will be nerve wracking since you've been on the monitor so long.
