Well, Dr. Bob assures me that I am going to have a baby sometime soon. Whew. Things are continuing to progress along…i was informed that I have a “better cervix” today…..better than who I asked…. =) It is continuing to thin….not anymore dilated but he seemed to be in the school of thinning is more important.
My blood pressure however was again very high….just like last time. (last time it went right back down after about 10 minutes and my tests came back totally normal) so they took more blood for more tests and put me back on the monitor. Baby girl was sleeping so they needed to wake her up…they monitor her heart beat in correlation with her movements….the nurse held this little buzzy, vibrating thing near my stomach and before she even touched my belly with it she woke up and gave me a good kick…..this I was assured is a very good sign because she is sensitive to sounds. They took my blood pressure again and it was normal again. And the rest of the reading was good. Baby girl was moving lots with a good heart beat and I was having consistent (though very small) contractions.
He will call me when the test come back and tell me if there is anything to worry about. If they are abnormal he will either decide to induce me or he will put me on bed rest. I am to continue to make sure and take it easy to try and keep my blood pressure down…..he grilled me about my job and I assured him my work place is very mellow (of course all the idiots on the road probably don’t help my cause while getting to my very mellow job…)
He said it will be soon. A sneaky word soon is…it means nothing. It’s like steep or fast or spicy.
The most disappointing part of the whole appointment was that I had to go make yet another appointment for next week….which I REALLY hope to not keep.
This is getting exciting!
