Monday May 6, 2013

Today's ultrasound was not as good as the ultrasounds were last week.  I had zero flow again today in the cord.  They are going to do another non stress test here anytime to evaluate how the baby is doing.  Assuming the baby looks good on the NST they will wait until tomorrow to repeat the ultrasound.  They had planned on doing the ultrasounds Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week, but after what they saw on today's ultrasound they are going to do them every day this week.  The situation gets more critical when there is negative blood flow and they have not seen that yet.   

The baby is breech.  Being breech combined with her small size I am most likely going to have to have a c-section.  I am very nervous about this.  Adam and I watched a video of a c-section and it has us both scared.  I thought Adam was going to throw-up.   

The water here at the hospital is turning my hair green.  Yep like a swimming pool would.  The girl pushing me in my wheel chair today even said to me "so what is with the green hair?"  Yes it is really that bad and I have been here less than two weeks.

  1. I am still so glad you are in the hospital and I am pretty sure that having a c-section won't be as bad as watching one on tv. Ben swensn's wife has had 4 or 5, we will keep you in our prayers.

  2. Yes, her hair is definitely turning green! One more thing to worry about. I got her some shampoo from my hairdresser today!
