Yeah for Week 34!
Who would ever have thought that I would make it this far after being in the hospital at just 26 weeks! I got great news from both doctors this week. I went to see my high risk doctors on Monday and they did a biophysical profile - which is basically hooking me up to the heartbeat monitors and doing an ultrasound to check for breathing, heartbeat, and movement. They also check the fluid levels. The boys did great just like always. They were kicking the monitors - my tummy was ALL OVER THE PLACE! But I was happy to see that they were active. I go back on Friday for another one - I guess when you hit 34 weeks, you graduate to seeing the doctor twice a week!
I had my normal OB appointment today (Tuesday) and things went well again. The doctor and I have decided to go ahead with a c-section. Jack (Baby B) is breech and there is only a 50% chance that he will flip or be able to be flipped, and I want the least amount of trauma to the boys - so we talked about that. He asked me when the high risk doctors wanted to do the c-section and how long they were going to let them "cook" and when I told him that they said that I would not be allowed to go past 39 weeks - I thought that he was going to fall over. He said would like to do it no later than 38 weeks. So he said that he would call them and talk to them today. He answered all of the rest of my questions and that was all good.
The nurse called me after my appointment and told me that my c-section is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4th. I will be a little over 37 weeks - so I am happy with that. It is exciting and scary at the same time. I love being pregnant - but I am looking forward to meeting the boys!
