Yeah it does sound relaxing, you have 3 older ones right... I'll have to go and do my NST's alone because DH will have to stay home with our 2 year old.  But as long as this baby is born healthy I don't mind one bit.

I'll still have to do the NST's because of the single umbilical artery and my age, but that's not a big deal.  It's actually nice to have some quiet time in a recliner with just my DH to keep me company.

Wow!  Congrats, that's GREAT news!  Will you still have to start the non-stress so early?  Either way, as long as he's healthy it will all be worth it.  I'm sure you guys feel so much better!

Got good news today.  We saw a different perinatologist in the same group and he couldn't find ANY holes in the baby's heart except the one that is in EVERY baby's heart (it closes at birth).  Of course, "junior" was not very cooperative, so he couldn't be 100% sure about the upper hole.  They also couldn't find any evidence of a placenta previa as we had feared.  It's low-lying and posterior, but not a previa.

Baby was also breech this time when he was head down last month.  He's an active little guy, so who knows what he'll be doing next time.  We are so relieved at this good news!  (PTL!)

Wow, I don't have to start my non-stress tests until in 32 weeks, you'll have to start 6 weeks before that... Well it's really good that they are going to keep a close eye on you little boy.  I've got my glucose on the 14th, 28 week appt. on the 20th where I will get my rogam shot, and another u/s on the 28th.  I've got an appt. about every two weeks until the Feb. when I start going in every week or more.  

Tracy - I feel my daughter low also and it's because she still has her head up, they won't call her "breech" or even care what position the baby is in until your 37 weeks.  Your little guy could be head up also.

It's weird to think of it in how many weeks we have left, 13 weeks doesn't seem to be very far away...

[Glenda306]

Well, I saw my OB today & everything looks great.  My blood pressure was 102/62 and baby's heartrate was strong and in the upper 150's.  My glucose tolerance test is scheduled for 3w from tomorrow.  My next following appt will be in another 2w when I'll start my non-stress tests and I'll go weekly after that.  My schedule has been accelerated a little due to my age, the single umbilical artery, and the holes in the baby's heart.

Tracy--sorry you're still dealing with m/s.  I had it for nearly 24 with my last one and it's just gone away in the last 4w with this one too.  Maybe they could give you a dose or 2 of antinausea meds to take before you go in for your GTT.
