32 Week Check-Up
We had our 32 week check up this morning, for the most part everything is ok, but wasn't the greatest check up we've had. First off by feeling the outside of my stomach the doctor said baby seems to be head down still, but after finding the heartbeat above my belly button, doctor thinks baby may have flipped back to breech. So that is not great news, I will have another ultrasound at 36 weeks to confirm position and if baby is still breech we will talk about doing an external aversion, which we are still undecided about we have to do some more research and talk to the doctor more in depth about it because there is a slight risk of having to deliver if something goes wrong while they are doing it. If baby is indeed breech and we pass on the aversion or it doesn't work we will schedule a repeat c-section for 39 weeks, but as always this is our very, very last resort. We also found out that I am starting to spill protein in my urine (one of the signs of pre-e which I had with Logan) however it was just a little and my blood pressure is still perfect (whoo hoo!) so doctor said not to worry and that the chances of having pre-e with subsequent pregnancies is low. My blood pressure with Logan started to go up at 36 weeks though, but I didn't start spilling protein until they checked it when I was in labor, so I seem to be doing the opposite of last time. So really we just wait now, I have another appointment at 34 weeks which is two weeks from now and then at my 36 week appointment we will do the ultrasound and my last prenatal test which is the group B strep test and start weekly cervical checks and ob appointments and then we can make some decisions on delivery once we know position, although our ultimate goal is still the VBAC. We will just keep an eye on my blood pressure and protein and pray it doesn't develop into pre-e again and I can avoid the mag that I had to be on last time which made me feel like death.
