ANXIETY IN FULL SWING!!

Well I am amazed I am already at 35w 4days! It feels like it's been a very loooooong journey so far. With all of the tests and worrying and medicine and praying I am so anxious at this point to just hold her in my arms. after the about the past 7-8 weeks I have to say I've relaxed a bit with the worrying and felt good I was being monitored a lot but my anxiety and worrying now are the worst it's been yet since this past Friday. I had my bio physical ultrasound on Friday and that is what has set me off. The nurse doing the ultrasound grew increasingly nervous and kept trying to reassure me my baby must've been in a deep sleep and just didn't want to move much. The heartbeat was good thank god but I have to say it was the first ultrasound where she hardly moved. For 30 minutes they tried everything, made me drink water, lay on my side...buzzed my belly with something. Finally she did take breaths and moved her hands a little and squirmed here and there but something to me just seemed off. The perintologist assured me they wouldn't let me go if they really thought something was wrong but ever since Friday, I can't shake the feeling something is. I have been ultra in tune now to movements and they do seem way less, although she is most active at night still. I know 1 of the reasons for a bio physical is to check the "limpness" of the baby and if u ask me she seemed lethargic. I go this Friday for another one and a growth scan. If she seems to be the same way I am going to raise hell. At this point, with me being so at risk for a stillbirth...I think it's insane they are keeping my C-section date at 39+3 days. To me that is just risking it. She will be considered term at 37 weeks and is measuring a week ahead so I don't see why it's necessary to wait. It's not like I don't have the risk factors or medical reasons to induce early. I'm so scared that something is going to happen to her in there in the next couple of weeks. UGHHHHH. Any advice would be appreciated!

But I totally understand why you're worried about it, I would be too! If you feel like something is wrong, definitely make it known to them. We know our bodies and our babies better than anyone else! |
