Pregnancy is tough 😩
So this is my first pregnancy & at 29 weeks I went in for a normal sonogram. As we’re finishing up, the tech says “hold on, I’ve gotta go get your doctor”. Dr. comes in and tells me I have to go to the hospital right away bc my amniotic fluid is at a 0 & baby is underweight and there’s a good chance they’ll have to take him early if they can’t figure out why. So, in the midst of trying to process & pray I make it to the hospital. But I’m terrified bc I have not a single family member anywhere in the state & idk what to do it expect. Anyways, I get put on IVs, a catheter, have labs drawn and meet the team of doctors that I’ll be under care with. After a couple days and different labs, doctors couldn’t find any cause & called it a “medical mystery” and were still debating on if it was best to take him or not. Over the next week my fluid increased to a 3 so they agreed to let me go home and try to stay pregnant as long as possible but I had to be on strict bed rest. I was set to be discharged the following Sunday. So Sunday morning I woke up, excited to to go home. And BOOM, my freaking water breaks 😩😭😭 now there’s really no chance at me going home 🤦🏽♀️ So it’s back to the IVs, the labs, and everything else. Now at almost 33 weeks, my fluid is at a 10 and doing much better 🙌🏾 all in all, my life has been an emotional roller coaster over the last 3 weeks but I’m SO SO happy that I get to be a mother and I can gladly say I know it’s all going to be worth it in the end.
