Another DAY at the hospital
No need to fear, everything is OK. Third week in a row and I am ONLY 1 cm dialited!!! My doctor showed a little bit of concern though - she noticed that there was a lot of fluid around the baby, making me a little bigger than I probably should be. So after my appointment so had me go down to labor and delivery for a NST (non-stress test) and sonogram to measure the fluid. Jason came up and I was there from 10:15 - 1:45! We discovered the the baby has a healthy heartbeat and I am still having contractions but not feeling them. The sonogram showed that my fluid levels are high on the normal side. Meaning the highest your levels should be to be normal are 22.6, mine was at 22. So now I have to go every week and have these tests done to make sure that everything is OK. At least until the baby is born. The doctor is just worried that the baby is "floating" and not getting into the proper position because he can't. The good news though is that someone who has high fluid levels tends to deliver early because of the excess weight on the uterus. I hope so!!
