So I had my follow up visit today and another Non-Stress Test (NST) done this afternoon. Everything went well. Ella was more active last week during the NST than she was this week, but I think she had exhausted herself this morning during a meeting I was in (she wouldn't stop moving - probably the guy's Irish accent - haha)...Anyway, no MAJOR contractions, so I guess I'm still not in labor.
Met with the doctor after the NST and she heard for the heartbeat again (you hear the heartbeat throughout the NST) and measured my belly. Measured at 37cm which is right on track with how many weeks I am! What else...Oh so next week's appointment will be about the same as today's and then next Tuesday I meet with Dr. Debbs (the Diabetes doctor) where they'll do another ultrasound to see how much the baby has grown (fingers crossed she's not too too big!). Also, I asked the doctor what to expect if I don't go in to labor before the due date. She said that they will not keep her in past my due date because of the diabetes (baby's tend to be larger if they're kept in too long and there are other medical conditions she could run in to as well)...So she said that if anything, they'd induce me at night and then the next morning they'll try to put me in to active labor (last resort is a C-Section)...
Hmmm...Other then that, I have 4 more days of work and then I'm on maternity leave...Excited but don't know what I'll do with myself until the baby comes...If anyone's going to be around, give me a call! :)
I will post another update after my appointments next week!!!
Vickie, Mike and Ella
