Well things have been hectic with school ending. I finished today and then had pretty bad cramping and a headache that wouldn't go away. They said that I had to come in to the doctor to be checked out. I feel like I live there- I went last Friday too because of abdominal pain.
So they took out that ultrasound that they shove up you ( I think this was like my 5th one) and made sure that my cervix was ok...and it was. And they checked the baby's heart and it looked good. She said that most likely I have been on my feet too much.....the doc told me last week that he thought I'd make it 4 more days but then if I had more he'd pull me from work....and she said that she's happy I made it that far, but that it's too much being on your feet and that I'd have to stop. They didn't put me on bedrest...just told me to take it easy and continue to monitor myself and call in. She said that high risk pregnancies require going to the doctor a ton and to get used to it.
One new piece of information was that she said for me to start to wrap my head around the fact that most likely they will be taking the baby out early. She said it is standard protocal in situations like this to take the baby out HOPEFULLY at 38 weeks but it can happen earlier. They have to do what is safest....so she didnt change my due date but she wants me to start to adjust to the idea of having the baby in August and that we'd talk more about this later.
Now on to baby news:
She should be getting close to 2 pounds....prob not quite there yet, but getting there. Her brain is growing a lot and her lungs are contiuing to develop. With medical attention she'd have a decent shot of living if born now. She should be nearing 14 and a half inches (But I have books that quote smaller....so prob between 10 and 14.) I should have asked when they were doing that ultrasound but it wasn't even part of my thinking at that time. Hiccups are common now and I thikn I have felt them a few times. I'm sure that theyll get stronger. Her kicks and punches are definitely stronger. I have had a few times where she punches me or kicks me right in my cervix and I flinch and have to squat because it is so not comfortable to have it feel like the leg or arm is trying to get out. Luckily it has only happened a few times. But it was shocking each time.
Ok well....seeing Ken and Katy today which will be fun. I can't go out and have to stay resting for today at least so it's nice that they're coming here so I don't have to go out.
That's all for now.
