29 week check up...
posted on 07/21/2008
Well, I had my doctors appt. today. The doctor asked me if I've been feeling the baby move more lately and I mentioned how I've actually been feeling her move less. That concerned her because she said that I should be feeling more fetal activity now...not less. So she wanted to do an ultrasound just to make sure everything was ok. She said that if there isn't enough amniotic fluid, that could be a reason that the baby isn't moving as much. So we did the ultrasound and they measured the fluid, and everything looked normal. What they did notice however, is that Madilyn is breech (head up instead of down) and her feet are straight up infront of her face. Dr. Paine said that this would explain the decrease in fetal movement. Other than that, Madilyn is perfectly healthy. She said now the only thing she is worried about is if Madi does not turn by 35 or 36 weeks, I will have to have a c-section. Now Im soo nervous because I definitely do not want a c-section. Im really hoping to be able to go natural. Dr. Paine said she will check Madilyn's position from now on at my appointments. I go every other week now so Dr. Paine will be able to keep a very close eye on her. Keep us in your prayers please!
