Disappointed after ultrasound
I am high risk for a number of issues I have had during this pregnancy. At my last growth ultrasound 2 weeks ago, my doctor said that there was a chance that I would be able to make it all the way to 40 weeks and possibly even further than that if my body allows it. Baby was measuring in the 14th percentile, but they were excited because she had kept up on her growth. Today, I went to my ultrasound expecting to hear even more good news, and thinking I could start to relax. Instead, they told me that they wont stop my body if it starts trying to go to transition again because baby is down to the 6th percentile. They said they dont even expect me to make it to 34 weeks (which would be Thursday of next week) and that she would probably be just under 4lbs. (She is currently measuring at 3lbs 11oz They told me to expect to have her any day now. They also said that if by some miracle I made it further than that, then they will be inducing by 38 weeks at the latest. So no matter what, I am going to have an early baby, who will most likely be a March baby, instead of a mid-April baby. I am so disappointed! Everything seemed to be finally going well for a change, and I thought that I would get to bring my baby home with me when I am discharged from the hospital, but now I have to deal with the realization that she is going to be early, so she wont be home with me for a few weeks. 😭 I am so upset! I cant bear the idea of having to leave my baby in the hospital! I know she will be taken care of, but it hurts my heart.
