**UPDATE IN COMMENTS**
Hey ladies! So after a perfect ultrasound Monday and graduating from the MFM, things have gone down hill this week.
Tuesday I went for my first NST. It was all the stress. Baby's heart rate was too consistent. Like, they assumed she wasn't moving at all because it didn't fluctuate. My biggest stressor since week 18 has been how little movement I feel, so this did not help. Then, they took me to their ultrasound, and when the nurse measured my fluid, it was insanely high. She called the MFM and their number from the day before was half as much. I went back on monitors, not much happened, and they said the on call doctor wanted me back the next day.
So yesterday I went back and monitoring went the same. Great, strong heart beat, no fluctuations. Also, fluids still measuring very high. While in the ultrasound, baby moved, and nurse even checked her heart rate then and it didn't accelerate, which is apparently something she's never seen before. Then the doctor came in, and talked to me and looked at everything. He decided to admit me for what is still being called 24 hour monitoring.
So I've been here in this bed hooked up to the monitors and super uncomfortable and wearing sexy compression socks. They think I might have something viral, so blood was taken last night but I haven't heard anything. I'll be going for another ultrasound any minute and then hopefully a doctor will have an update. And I hope for an answer to the extra fluid problem. Ugh. It's pretty frustrating and stressful. I cried a lot yesterday, but baby is good.
And they do tell me I won't take an outside baby home this time. There are no plans to induce or pull her out at the moment.
