Saw Dr McKain today as Dr Hill was out of the office, sick. Dr McKain was Hailey's delivering Dr and I saw her often when I was in the hospital with Hailey as well. She really is straight-forward and blunt.
I'm at 2 cms, 75% effaced. I was this way for weeks with Hailey. The did another dip strip to make sure I'm not leaking fluid (we're pretty sure I did with Hailey) and it came back good. Blood pressure was down today 117/71, nice numbers! Weight was virtually unchanged (1 lb less than last week but that could be water weight.)
NST was OVER-reactive. Anyone know what this means? I know that NON-reactive means that the baby didn't get 10 accelerations in an hour and had little movement. And reactive means that the baby had a normal amount of movements (at least 10) and 10 accelerations in heartrate. But is over-reactive bad too? They want me back on Friday. Ugh! So I have a Dr appointment this Friday (nst) and an appointment next Wednesday with Dr Wright over at Maternal Fetal Medicine (growth scan, afi, bpp, doppler)
I was supposed to just go in next Monday but they didnt have a delivering Dr in office then so Dr McKain doesnt want me to wait until Tuesday.. not sure how one day makes much difference. So instead I have to come in a day early.. which means Friday. Blah!
She asked how I was feeling emotionally and I was very honest with her about it. Mostly she just listened and told me it would all be over soon enough and to just try and stay sane. ;)
Anyway, overall a good appointment.
