I talked to him about the contractions. We talked about how they aren’t following the pattern of labor but that they are very bothersome, can take my breath away, and wake me up at night. He is bringing me back in to talk more in 2 weeks. If things are the same or worse, I will start Procardia and will be starting the fetal fibronectin testing every 2 weeks as long as I am having contractions.
Other than that, I got my paperwork for the 28w bloodwork. I will have to do that on a Saturday I guess. Joley was very active and the nurse had a lot of trouble pinning down a heartbeat. When she finally caught up to her, her hb was 152. My bp was good. My swelling is out of control but they aren’t concerned because I am showing no signs of preeclampsia. I have gained weight though and they are feeling that majority of it is water weight. ugh
I have had trace amounts of albumin in my urine for the past several weeks and that is going to be monitored closely as well because it can be an indication of premature delivery. Nothing to worry about yet though.
That’s about it. My doc asked me again if this will be my last baby due to all the problems (he was joking). lol I told him it is certainly looking that way. 🙂
