The past five days, well week, I feel like I have been on a roller coaster. One day I feel absolutely horrible, then the next day I feel a little better, then yesterday I started off good, but started feeling horrible in the afternoon. Felt feverish, couldn't get enough water at all throughout the day, and had a few contractions.
Anyway, started off the day with one of my weekly NST's. Gram took me to the NST, and my triage nurse who is usually running the triage is out on vaca this week. So, they had to have two nurses to run the triage this week just for her position, that's how good she is. I get there today, and my room (the multiples room) was closed. This never happens when Vicki is here, because she is organized and knows you never put a singleton pregnancy in the multiples room. Especially when the two singleton rooms are completely open and clean. So I waited thirty minutes, actually 45, an then decided to just forego the apt today. I thought when I see Dr. H in a couple hours I will explain to her why I didn't get it, and if she wants it done then we will figure something else out.
Then we went on to my OB appointment with Dr. H. I know I have said this before, but I love Dr. H so much. She truly is a blessing to have as my OB doctor. First, she said it was ok that I didn't have my NST today. She did an ultrasound and miraculously the babies have shifted up quite a bit. Probably due to me being off my feet and resting more. So that is good. The two placentas looked great, fluid around babies looked great, haven't gained weight this week, and she feels like I'm doing considerable well. Thankfully we caught my UTI in time. One more day of antibiotics, thank goodness cause they are killing my head and stomach. As for my weight and why I haven't gained, that is mainly because I'm at the point where my body is just full, and the babies are now taking from me. This is ok, as long as I drink nourishing drinks and eat snacks here and there. I did ask not to have my cervix checked, and she was completely good with that considering I just don't feel well today. Plus I don't want to have contractions tonight or stir anything up. She said it really wasn't necessary unless I had symptoms that would call for it, which I really do not. Anywho, she feels all is well and once I finish this antibiotic I will feel a little better.
I see high risk doctor on Friday and will have a NST in their office. So hopefully I can keep hanging on. Pretty sure I can,. Just need sleep and rest.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Tiffany. You have done great! Already at 32 weeks!! Hang in there. I go to an aerobics class every Monday and Thursday in Edmond and we pray before we start our class and ask for prayers so I mentioned you and Rusty and the babies so we are praying for you guys.
