I had an appt yesterday with my OB. I had a follow-up ultrasound to check my placenta and make sure it had moved up which it does appear that it did because she couldn't see it. BUT while doing the ultrasound and taking standard measurements they discovered that my amniotic fluid is low! There are 2 categories of people that this happens to, either you are leaking or there is no apparent reason. Naturally I fall under the 2nd category of there is no apparent reason. So my orders for the weekend was to take it easy and relax, laying on my side quite a bit and drink lots of fluids. I have to go back in on Tues the 29th for an ultrasound to check the fluid level and then do a non-stress test. If the fluid continues to stay low, then I will have to go in for an ultrasound once a week and a non-stress test twice a week. Fun stuff! As long as I don't have to go on bed rest! I am getting to the point where it feels like if it isn't one thing it's another. It seems as though with every ultrasound they find that the previous concern is no longer but there is now a new concern. So let's hope this is it for concerns for the rest of the pregnancy.
Oh yeah and there are no pictures this time...they didn't even give me any because it was just a quick one. I can't imagine they will give me any more pictures with the others that I will be getting. But I do have to say thank God for health insurance! I don't know how we would swing this without!
