Maybe I was a wee-bit over reacting about my results yesterday. Last night's baby monitoring was fantastic. They were going to monitor me for an hour (just to make sure), but after 45 minutes, they pulled me off because the baby looked fantastic. Yay!
I talked with my Doc this morning and he didn't seem concerned about my fluid levels measuring less than last week. He mentioned how my levels had stayed about the same. I pointed out that last week it was a 4, but this week it was a 3. He then explained that it was measured in cubic centimeters, and the difference between 1 cubic cm is very little. He pointed out that the most important thing is that I am still pregnant and baby seems to be doing well. I asked about the extra monitoring from yesterday and he wasn't concerned about it. He said it's actually pretty normal for such a small baby to have those. He said he begins to be concerned when the heart rate goes down and stays down. All they had been seeing were little spikes of dropping, but immediately rising again.
I'll try not to make mountains out of mole hills anymore!
I am so glad to see you are doing well so far. And I like your doctor. It is true that the lab result or other measurements are just numbers, and doctors are not fixing the numbers but they treat "people." I hope you do well. And stay positive (easy to say, but hard to do!). Heavenly Father loves you always.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I heard you were so bored. Do you want to do some projects? I have not made 2012 Primary calendar. Do you want to make it? :)
I would love to visit you sometime. I will call you later.
Love, Mihoko
