Pregnancy Update

I had an appointment on Wednesday Nov 21,2007.
Things seem to be progressing well.
I don't have any external bleeding. My bp is low/normal. Baby has a strong fast heartbeat and I am no longer losing weight.
My next appointment will be a month away after I see the perinatologist for the higher level ultrasound.
Doc said since I appear to be stable we can space this next appointment out.
I am still on restricted activity, no lifting,etc. But not required to stay in bed anymore. Just listen to my
body and take it easy as needed. We won't know the status of the SCH until after the ultrasound. Doc said not to
think about it, chances are it's gone. I am believing it is gone also.

Update..copy pasted from myspace blog

Saw ob last thursday. No ultrasound just wt check,fetal heart tones, and my bp checked. Doc said baby has good heart rate fast like 160 something. I've gained almost 2 pounds supposedly. I think it was partly my heavy wool sweater.lol. No.Really! I was cold today so I wore this really thick sweater. I can't believe I did not take it off. I guess I did not want to mess up my hair.(Vanity)I am having static trouble and it is a pullover. I am constantly getting shocked.
WE are still measuring at least a couple of weeks ahead. Which has been consistent. I have no exterior signs of problems.
I am staying on bedrest but not strictly.Light bedrest.Freely shower,up for all meals. Still no lifting,etc.
I will continue to see doc every 2 weeks mostly to check heart rate and they'll check my hemoglobin.It is good right now at 11.8.Ferritin level is good right now too. I am supposed to see the perinatologist in 4 or 5 weeks for the level 2 or 3 ultrasound...I can't remember which.
He said 17 or 18 weeks is the optimal time because of the baby's size being perfect to see all organs and such.
Just for fun he's guessing it is a boy.

Yesterday's Trip

I took a trip to visit my ob. I had an ultrasound.
I know I saw 2 babies but only one had a heartbeat.
They said I ave a subchorionic hemorrhage or hematoma.
I am taking it easy and not lifting the kiddos or anything heavier than a gallon of milk, waiting on the blood to be reabsorbed by my body and not get worst.
I am praying that both babies are okay and that the blood just made the scan harder to visualize.
But I am at peace regardless. I have had a prior twin pregnancy where I loss one twin and went on to deliver the other child at 36 weeks.
That is all for now.


Hi Kerri!!
I am very tempted to join you on those sew crafty days. I pulled out my sewing machine who has been in hiding for the past 18 or so months.
