Damian’s heartbeat is strong

I just got home from seeing my regular doctor today.  I spent some time hooked up to the fetal monitors, while they watched the baby’s heartbeat and my contractions.  He has a very strong heartbeat, and my contractions are about 20 minutes apart, but they’re pretty light.  My cervix is unchanged, so it’s still 90% […]

Damian is getting big

I went to see the high risk doctor today.  They checked Damian’s growth, and he now weighs about 5lbs 2ozs.  He’s getting really big really quick!!  He looked absolutely fantastic.  My placenta shows a bit more wear, but Damian is obviously still getting his nutrients, they also checked to make sure I didn’t have any […]

Another doctor’s appointment

I went to the doctor today, I am still 1cm dilated and 90% thinned out.  I am basically unchanged since last Thursday.  I am still having contractions… so the doctor says I should have this baby any day.  He wants to see me every other day from now on, so that they will know if […]

Doctor’s appointment

Well, this has been quite an eventful week!!  I went to see my regular doctor on Monday, and while I was hooked up to the fetal monitors, I started having contractions.  The doctor sent me right over to labor and delivery at the hospital, and apparently my cervix had already started thinning out, and I […]

Labor just around the corner…

I started having contractions last night!!!  I went to the doctor today, and they are about 8-10 minutes apart.  My cervix hasn’t started dilating, so I’m not in labor… but labor could be just around the corner.  All I can do now is take it easy, and pay attention to how close the contractions are… […]

The wait and see game

Just got back from the high risk doctor.  We did growth today, and the baby weighs about 4lbs and 3ozs!!  He’s a big boy already.  If he keeps growing at this rate, and if I get to full term, I’m looking at having a pretty big baby!!!  Everything looked really good today… but I’m not […]

Everything looks great

I saw my regular ob doctor today.  I got hooked up to the fetal monitor, and I had a couple contractions while being hooked up… but I didn’t feel them.  The doctor said that is normal, that my body is just starting to prepare itself for delivery.  I’m 32 weeks and 2 days today!!  My […]

I passed the 3 hour test

I I took the 3 hour test today… only had to have my blood drawn 4 times, and not 5!!  But they had to draw from the exact same vein they used yesterday, because they couldn’t get a vein in my other arm.  So 6 sticks in 2 days in the exact same place… not […]

Test Updates

Things went well w/ the re-check today, I have stopped leaking fluid, which is a good sign.  The doctor decided to go ahead and test me for Group B Strep and a couple of other things pregnant women are at risk for. I should know those results in a few days.  I didn’t pass my […]

Pregnancy Updates

Well, I overslept this morning for my glucola screening, so I had to reschedule that and my rhogam shot for tomorrow.  I did go see my regular ob doctor today.  Everything went well during the hour I spent hooked up to the fetal monitor.  The baby has a very good heartbeat!  I appear to be […]
