Update from the Specialist Doctor Today

The doctor was called to the hospital before we got there so all the appointments were behind but it was not to bad. Good thing I brought some pretzels with me. Todays appointment went good. It is Baby B that is low on fluid not Baby A. But they are both growing good. Baby B is a little smaller and has a smaller belly so that might be the reason there is less fluid but they are going to keep an eye on the fluid. They were both jumping all around again today. Neither one would cooperate today to look between the legs. Baby A's cord was between the legs today. Even though we have had two different ultrasound techs tell us it was a boy, we still are not buying anything blue yet. The placenta is covering my cervix and he said this is the reason I am bleeding. If it does not move I will have to have a c-section. But I could end up having one anyway if they are not in the right position. Time will tell. My blood pressure was good today, thank goodness. They both weigh a quarter of a pound. When the nurse said that, she said we have 2 quarter pounders and i was very hungry so I automatically thought of McDonalds..lol.. I have an OB appointment next Tuesday and then we go back for another ultrasound with the specialist on Aug 9th.

Update from Fridays Appointment

Our appointment on Friday, July 13th was a so so appointment. My blood pressure was up so they changed my medicine and also said that I would need to go see a high risk doctor for a level 2 ultrasound (a more sensitive ultrasound, they can check for alot more) because Baby A has a little less fluid. Our appointment for that is July 26th. I had to go back on Monday for them to recheck my blood pressure and it has come down some. But when I was in the ER that morning (another story) it was fine so they are just going to go with the ER reading for now. So the next OB appointment is July 31st, not sure if this is just to check my blood pressure again or what.

As for the ER visit Monday morning. Sunday morning we were laying in bed and Sebastian got up on the bed with us and laid down in between us. Well his paw got me in the eye and it bothered me for the rest of the day. Monday morning when I got Dave up to goto work, i had a hard time keeping my eye open, was all red, watery and i couldnt see very well. So we went to get it checked out and i have a scratch on my eye. It really hurts. They gave me some gel to put in there and i had to go for a follow up yesterday with an eye doctor and he said he could see where the scratch is but it is heeling. It felt a lot better yesterday but it is still kinda cloudy to see.

Ultrasound Update

Our ultrasound appointment went well today. Baby A had a heartbeat of 156 and Baby B had a heartbeat of 165. Baby A is definitely a boy. Still not sure of Baby B yet, not being very cooperative. But its still early. They measured the back of the babies skin on their neck and pricked my finger to check for down syndrome. I am thinking that when i need blood work done, they should just prick my finger because it did not want to stop!!!! The ultrasound lady said that the skin measured fine but have to wait for the results from the lab on the blood work and the pictures. Not sure how long this takes. She also did not see the hemorrhage anymore so maybe its the end of the bleeding, we hope. We have an OB appointment tomorrow afternoon so maybe we will find out more about it tomorrow. We see the midwife tomorrow. We have to see all the doctors and midwifes in the office in case I go into labor early and our doctor is not on call that day or night. Until tomorrow!!!!

Another Trip

Well we made another trip to the ER Sunday, July 8, 2007 for more bleeding. I called the doctor and she said she either wanted another ultrasound that night or on Monday so we decided to goto the ER for an ultrasound that night. Baby A measured 12w4 days with a heartbeat of 160 and Baby B measured 12w2 days with a heartbeat of 166. Baby B was resting but Baby A was very active and must of kicked Baby B because it soon became very active as well. The ultrasound lady had a very hard time getting the heartrate because it was so active. But i am on bed rest until the bleeding stops. Tomorrow is the NT Scan (checking for down syndrome) and then on Friday is another OB appointment. We are really hoping this is the end of the bleeding!!!! More updates tomorrow!!

Another Trip to the ER

I got up Saturday morning around 130 to goto the bathroom and discovered that I was bleeding again. I laid back down for about an hour and then it was getting heavier so around 245am we got in the jeep and headed to the hospital. They listened for the heartbeats with the doppler but was having a hard time hearing them. They had another nurse come in and try and she thinks she heard both of them at the same time. She said they must be very close to each other. They did another exam and took some blood. They didnt get very much but luckily it was enough for them to test. They said my pregnancy hormone was at 157,000. My urine sample showed alot of white cells so they put me on an antibiotic for a bladder infection. I called the doctors office when we left to let them know what was going on and they said just rest and keep my feet up, if the bleeding gets any worse to let them know.

Our next ultrasound is July 12th. This will be to test the babies skin on their neck to check for downs syndrome. Our next OB appointment is the 17th. Hopefully we wont have any more runs to the ER.
