Captain Cantaloupe August 8, 2008
Well, our appointment today was l-o-o-o-ng! I’ve been having some spotting, so the nurse put me on a fetal heart monitor for about 45 minutes. Good grief. Everything looked fine though; the baby was moving around plenty and his heart rate went up every time, so that was encouraging. Then I had what must have been my 9th ultrasound. I hope the Captain hasn’t been fried from all the imaging! The doctor estimates his current size at 5 lbs. 6 oz. and he has plenty of fluid in there. I was a little worried about that since I am very lax about drinking the requisite amount of water. I just never get thirsty, but I know I need to get more fluids in me! Baby is already head down with his legs and arms reaching out to my left, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that he doesn’t somersault into a breech position. I don’t think I want to have a c-section. So, if the baby is totally fine, then why the spotting? The doctor thinks it might be a bladder infection! Let’s hope the test results come back soon so I can do something about that if need be. That’s all for now. Toodles.
