Talk about a STRESSFUL day!

It all started yesterday! I had my 38 week appointment at the office in Prescott. (Thank God for that!) Anywho started out normal; they made me pee in the cup, took my blood pressure but then wanted to check to see if I dilated yet since I have been experience a lot of pressure! I have been complaining every appointment since January that I am retaining what to me seems like a lot of water. But they are the professionals so who am I to argue, the one who has not gone to medical school. So I was checked nothing so far and still experience a lot of pressure! Well Doctor sent me for an ultrasound wanted to double check how Stella was positioned and take a fluid measurement. Well it seemed that the ultrasound went good but they want to do one next week as well. I got home and forgot my phone was on silent. Went to turn it back to ringer and saw I missed a call from the Doctors office with a message! Oh good was my first thought!

Don't you just love when places like doctors office started messaged with, "Now this is nothing urgent or to worry about." Yet they do not leave any details just, "Please call us back at 8:30am that is when we start answering the phone." So Rob and I set our alarm for a little after 8 and just laid in bed until we could call. Well the office beat us to it calling around 8:15am which wasn't a good sign to me. A lot of information was covered in the conversation but it boils down to I have high levels of amniotic fluid. Normal range is 5-25 and I was measuring at 28. So they wanted me to come in for a non-stress test at 10 am. We were there for about 30 minutes and the doctor did not like how the test was going so he sent us to the hospital for further testing. We were there until 3 pm needles to say it was an emotion and long day for Rob and I. I was hooked up to a baby monitor for the whole time and they ordered a biophysical profile ultrasound for the baby. We got an 8 out of 8 which is good but the fluid is still high. Not as high as the day before but drop 4 units 28 to 24, back in the normal range but still high. So tomorrow I'm calling the office and ask what happens if the fluid goes back up! I'm 38 weeks and why just induce a bit early instead of having the mother and father worry. Oh yeah Rob is leaving Monday for 7 days!
