Well it has been a busy week. Tuesday my big boy turned 4 years old and Wednesday we had a sono and doctors appt to see how the two little girls are growing.
As of Wednesday (32w 4d) here are the girls' stats:
Baby A is measuring exactly 32w 4d, 4lbs 6oz and is in the 53.5 percentile.
Baby B is measuring exactly 32w 4d, 4lbs 7oz and is in the 54.9 percentile.
Both girls were head down (yay!) now hopefully they stay that way though with all the gymnastics they seem to do in there who knows. They both looked very active had good heartbeats, and good cord pressures. The only thing that didn't look quite right was that Baby A's fluid was measuring low which can be a cause for concern. So Dr. G went ahead and ordered that I have a NST (non-stress test) done on Thursday and a BPP (biophysical profile) and doppler study done on Tuesday.
Thursday's NST went well both girls had the appropriate number of heart accelerations and I only had to be hooked up to the monitors for 20 minutes since they both cooperated :) The biophysical profile on Tuesday will evaluate several different factors of the girls, mainly we will be looking at the amniotic fluid level to determine how low it is. Dr. G said it is then a matter of determining how low is "too low" and that they will determine what will happen from there. He said he would consult with Dr. Evans (the high-risk specialist) and depending on what the results are I may be referred on to him.
The NSTs will be done twice a week, every week until delivery and depending on Tuesday's BPP and DS I may or may not be having weekly BPPs done. Starting the 14th I have weekly prenatal visits. So it is going to be a busy month for this big slow mama.
My goal for the girls is to make it to 36 to 37 weeks. I really just want them to be healthy and developed enough that after delivery we can bring them home with no NICU stay.
So the countdown begins! 22 days until I am 36 weeks and 29 until 37 weeks. Yikes that doesn't leave much time to finish getting things together for the girls' arrival!
