Good thoughts needed please

Karen

Update: Tests are all normal. MRI did not show anything out of the ordinary. Had NST today. Was diagnosed with an irritable uterus today. In some pain. Baby is measuring large, fluid is high but not emergent. They asked me to try to take it a day at a time, continue liver meds. Now going for monitoring 2x a week. Heparin not as bad as lovenox.

They want to keep her in there until 37-39 weeks. Realistically they are thinking shortly after 37, I think. Supposed to rest and hydrate. Easier said than done for sure as I like to be on the move.

Thank you all so much! ❤️

I normally wouldn’t do this but got thrown for a major loop yesterday and could use all of the good thoughts and prayers I can get.

I miscarried 6 years ago this week and it’s taken many years of fertility treatments for me to conceive again. We are fortunate to be 34+3 pregnant with our rainbow daughter right now.

I learned yesterday that my mild polyhydramnios is now moderate. The baby is measuring large for her age (6 lbs).

They are sending me for a fetal MRI and a high res ultrasound at Children’s Hospital. Then I have to have a consult with a surgeon in case she has a swallowing disorder or other problem. Her brain and abdomen are large for her age and they have not previously seen anything wrong. I am hopeful that we will get positive news tomorrow.

To make things even more complicated, I have had a blood disorder and been on lovenox which they need to change to heparin in cause there is something wrong with the baby.

And they also believe I have Cholestasis since I have severely itchy hands/feet. So they put me on meds for that yesterday in case and said she’d have to come out at 37 weeks if so... which is Feb 11 (and really soon- due 3/3/19). Also need twice weekly NSTs in the meantime.

Sorry for the massive email, but I lost my mom to cancer a year and a half ago so I don’t have anyone I can really talk to. Please think good thoughts for us. This has been so hard. Thank you all for being so supportive.
