OB Update

Hi Everyone!

Had an OB appointment today...I thought they were going to measure the babies again, but my OB said she'd rather wait another week, so next week hopefully we will get some reassurance about the size.

Also went to the hospital for NTS monitoring (I think that stands for non stress test), and the nurses there said both babies are doing great. Yay! :)

In related news:

  • My OB said that after another week and a half, if I go into labor they aren't going to try and stop it. That's so soon! So crazy how soon these babies are coming!
  • I got my iron checked today and the levels are good
  • Our local hospital is so nice...L&D is so calm and peaceful (last week I was monitored in a tiny triage room, this week in one of the normal L&D rooms and they are just so quite and relaxing and calming)
  • My nurse this week explained all about the monitoring, and told me a little more about delivery...apparently because I have twins I'll deliver in the OR just in case, and there will be LOTS of people there
  • She also said if I ever think I'm having contractions, or worry that the babies haven't moved a lot, or have anything that's making me uneasy to just come in and they'll hook me up to a monitor. "Come as often as you want," she said. "We're here all the time anyway, we'd way rather see you 10 times for nothing than have you not come in that one time you really should have been here."
  • And, the nurse said that if I haven't been sent to see the perinatologist (and I haven't) that everything is going super smooth

So lots of good news...and I just have to assume for another week that the size differential between our babies seen last week is nothing to worry about.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday!

XO
