Had my 36 week appointment today! U/S went well. Baby A weighed 6 lbs 7 oz 55th% Baby B weighed 6 lbs 10 oz 62nd% She said it could be +/- 1/2 a pound for each. They only have a 3% differential. Both are head down and VERY low. Doctor still isn't convinced they will come early and thinks we could make it to June 15 C-section. We shall see. G-dwilling!

Had my 38 week appointment today and baby is still head up and her little butt is down in my pelvis. So I am scheduled still for a c-section a week from today on June 4th! I'm not going to lie, I'm nervous because I didn't even consider this possibility since everything had been going so smoothly. I am just praying that the procedure goes well and we are both healthy and well at the end!
Had my 36 week appt today- I am 36w 6d. BP was a little elevated for me (120/80), but they seemed ok with it. LO's HB was at 145, which was good, but doc seemed a bit concerned that I am almost 37w and only measured at 35w. She scheduled a growth U/S for next Friday, but encouraged me to keep really aware of movement. Hope it's just because he is really low. She checked my cervix and said I am fingertip and softening. GBS negative, which I was happy about. I've started getting a rash the last few days on my stomach, and am a bit concerned that it could be PUPPS. She said I was a prime candidate for it, and told me to try Benadryl.
Car battery dead today. After 6 failed attempts to reach my husband I had to borrow my uncle's car because he couldn't jump it for me. Half an hour late to my appointment. Did my nst but baby was all over the place to where they couldn't track him. GSB positive. Got the go ahead to start EPO and raspberry leaf tea. No other ob stuff occured. Went over to the other office for a bpp. He passed. Whew. What a morning.

Done with my 36/37 w appt (36+3 today) had GBS done and am 1cm dilated with softening cervix. Dr wants to schedule induction for 39w based on growth ultrasound (she was 8lbs already last week!) so it looks like June 16th *should* be the day we meet baby girl unless she decided to escape earlier!!

What makes someone a prime candidate for PUPPS? I don't know enough about it.
Just saw doc for 38 week and follow up from yesterday's ultrasound. C-section scheduled for Monday at 1pm as long as she doesn't flip again in the meantime, the little monkey!

First pregnancy, third trimester, having a boy. One of the other indicators is having gained a lot of weight- this doesn't fit me, because I've only gained 20lbs, but apparently it can strike anyone. She did say it might be heat rash- but to keep an eye on it. I hope you don't have it! Whatever I've got is making me insanely itchy!

No not at all. I mean, I have normal belly stretching itchiness, but that's all. I just thought it was a completely random thing that occurred; I didn't realize there were certain factors that maybe increased your chances of getting it.

The blood work I did Wednesday came back negative for hypertension indicators, the amount of protein in my urine was lower today, and my BP was a touch high, but acceptable. Waiting on the results of my 24 hour wee, but I think that hydrating myself properly has solved that problem. Drink your water, kids.
I feel like Yossarian from Catch-22 with the pain in his liver that wasn't quite jaundice, but with PreE.

Had to have another appt today for nst, ultrasound and Dr to monitor my fluid levels before Mondays induction. Fluid is perfect, baby is very very low and according to the ob I have bypassed early labor so she thinks all I'll need is some pitocin and to break my water. Fingers crossed she is right or he decides to make his appearance on his own. Down to t-minus 64 hours - not sure if I'm excited or terrified.
Had second OB appt this week. Took awhile for the baby to wake up during the NST. Blood pressure was alright. Went to see my GP about my mouth. Thankfully I don't have thrush she thinks it's from a sinus infection. She took a look at my hand since it has been bothering me. I was sure my tendon is swollen. She agreed it probably is. If it doesn't resolve itself after birth they can start testing for other stuff. She is now worried about my blood pressure too and protein in urine. I went and bought a blood pressure monitor like I should have last week.
My 39 wk appt was just ok. My bp was down from last week, which was good. I haven't progressed at all since last week (3.5/80%), so my next appt will be on my due date, 6/4. She said we'll talk about delivery and decide then if and when to induce, but they don't induce unless there are medical concerns until at least 40+6 because of the increased risk for a c section. In less than 3 weeks, I went from being told I would most likely go early to the possibility of going almost a week past my due date without going into labor on my own. I won't lie, I SS cried for a good 10 min on my way home. This waiting game sucks!

Went in for an anesthesiology consult on Wednesday to discuss my pre-existing sacroiliac/hip joint injury and what that could mean IF I ended up having an epidural. I'm really hoping and preparing not to but I want to be prepared for all possibilities. Also discussed my history of anesthesia resistance and what that could mean in the event of a c-section. In all that was a super informative appointment and I left feeling kind of like an SS but like I had a whole lot of new medical knowledge!
Had my 36 week OB appointment on Thursday. We talked about where I'm at with neurological BS and basically informed her that I've increased to the max dose of the migraine meds and doing as best as I can be, hoping this dose gets me through to the end. She asked if I'm at all considering the MFMs suggested induction which I explained I'm still hoping to wait it out for labor to come naturally basically because, the only reason I would go with the induction would be because I'm in so much misery end of my rope style I feel like I can't go on any more and really, if I'm in that much pain, do I reaaaallly want to also add inducing labor on top of it?!?!??! We both agreed most likely not! So other than that, baby is great, measuring 35 fundal height, BP right on, my weight remains steady, as usual it is just my damn headache of which to speak. She did ask if I wanted her to check me for progress since I mentioned all the cramping and contractions I've been having, but we decided together to wait until next time as to not introduce any outside factors, and they've slowed down the past few days. I really love my OB. She seems genuinely excited that my delivery is coming up soon. Again she gave me a vote of confidence for going med-free, basically saying if any patient she has seen could do it, she believes I am prepared for it. She's seen me through some terrible shit this pregnancy!
