Update

So I went to my 38 week appointment yesterday thinking that everything is hunky dory and it would be a regular visit with him checking me is all. Well to my amazement things didn't turn out the best. When the nurse took my blood pressure she usually says looking good, but this time she didn't say anything. I kinda knew that I felt different because when I was shaving my legs in the shower that morning they were EEEXTRA massive. SOOO I knew that I was retaining water, but I didn't think that it would result in the apt that I had. The Dr. came in the room and told me that I was boarder line pre-eclamptic because of my blood pressure level, but luckily I wasn't secreting any protein in my urine which was a good sign. He then told me that we should probably look to be scheduling a day to have her. I asked him about supplement amniotic fluid and if he knew anything about that. He told me no and asked what is it used for. I told him that they do it for women that have lower levels of amniotic fluid and breech babies so that they can turn the babies instead of having a c-section. He told me that he had never heard of that, but he could set up an appointment for me to see a perinatologist and see what he can do about that. He then told me that he wanted to take a look and see how much amniotic fluid I do have so we transferred into the ultrasound room. When everything was ready and we started looking at the U.S it showed that I had even less amniotic fluid than last time we did a U.S. I started to ask why this was the case, and if it was something that I did. He told me no, that some women lose their fluid faster than others once the placenta stops producing it in the final weeks of pregnancy. I asked if this was OK for the baby, and he said that lower levels don't harm babies, but with my levels we need to start worrying about her possibly getting a prolapsed cord. He then told the nurse that he wanted to do a stress test on the baby to make sure that everything was for sure alright. This started to scare me into thinking that when he listened to her heartbeat before he heard something that he didn't like. So the whole time in the stress test I was a nervous wreck and tried my very hardest to hold back my fear and tears. Thankfully, the stress test came back normal. So now we have to wait to see what the perinatologist can do. If he can't do anything then I'm hoping that we will have a baby by the end of the week via c-section.
