So not to report about my doctor's appt yesterday. It was extremely hot in the waiting room and I felt like I was going to die. I really thought this would show my pressures being sky high, but the nurse said they were 116/84. I don't believe the 116 is accurate - she used my right arm instead of left, because I am not getting below 130s every time I take it at home twice a day for the past month.
I was 3lb more on the scale after not gainning for a month, but that may just be because she used the manual scale instead of the digital scale like I have been using the last number of times.
Have no idea what my urine dipped, but it was pretty concentrated, so I am guessing at least 1+.
While waiting for the doctor the social worker who I meant in the hospital came in for a consult on her dog. It is for this reason I try and keep my career a secret from people because once they know I am a vet out comes the questions. At least it helped past the time.
When the doctor came in I asked for my results from the 24 hr urine from last week. Turns out it wasn't only completely normal, but very low at 60. Not sure why it would be so low so now I am even wondering if the test was even run properly - I mean I had 90 at 11 weeks long before my pressures started to rise and how could I be coming up with 1 or 2 plus on the dipstick with a level of 60? Due to this my appt was pretty brief.
Then I went over the NSTs, but unfortunately they were full at the time so I had to wait, and wait, and wait. I ended up waiting for an hour and wouldn't have been as pissed, but after waiting for 20-30 min a couple showed up and they were then taken 15 min later while I still waited there. If I didn't need the NST I seriously would have walked out the door and went home at that moment. I know I said this before, but I really hate the way this clinic is run. I liked the single ob practice I had with my last pregnancy, instead of this place where you go from waiting in one line to waiting in another so one appt takes half your day, not to mention having to pay for parking so the longer I stay the more money it costs me.
Anyways, everything was fine on the NST, but it seemed the fluid was on the low side at just barely 10 - I blame this on waiting for 3 hours that morning. Anyways, the staff had the nerve to say that if the wait for the doctor's is long that we should come do the nst first if it is less busy. But that wasn't the problem. I didn't have to wait very low for the doctor's and definately not enough time to have a NST done and get back before missing my appt.
At least I only have to deal with this on Thursdays and hopefully not much longer.
Today I am having some major cramping so not quite sure what is up with that, but really don't want to go down to the hospital if they will stop on their own like they have done before.
I really think if I make it to 37 weeks I will my doctor to do an amino so we will know if there is any respiratory issues before hand. I have been thinking about things and really wondering what to do if I can not deliver early and have to make it to 39 weeks. The day I turn 39 weeks is the day after my twin's birthday. At first I was admirate against having this baby born anytime close to that date especially on the actual day, but now I don't know. I don't know how dd would feel. It would make it easier to just have one big celebration on the 5th for both girls than 2 separate days especially when they are so close, not to mention it might be a good thing when they are adults and share their birthdate, but then I also struggle with the fact that I was suppose to have 2 babies born on March 5th, but it wasn't suppose to be like this and dd was suppose to share her birthday with her twin brother not 3 year younger sister.
