NST & Preclampsia Update

Well I had another NST (Non Stress Test) this morning in Worcester - both babies did great! It only took about 45 minutes to get the results they were looking for. The nurse brought my paperwork into the doctor and I could hear the doctor say...I recognize that name. She ended up coming into the room I was in and it was the nice doctor from Labor and Delivery from Saturday morning. She asked how I was doing and wanted to make sure my blood pressure was ok! I was amazed she remembered me. :-)

She then asked how far along I was and told her I would be 37 weeks tomorrow. She was amazed at how I was getting along and said that if I were 37 weeks this past Saturday she would have induced labor (just what I wanted to hear!) haha She then asked if I knew how big my babies were and I told her I hadn't had an ultrasound in a month, but the nurse had the results from my last u/s. She asked if she could look at them and proceeded to tell me that she was treating a woman with twins and her babies weren't growing as good as mine were. She said she was jealous and I should be very pleased! She and the nurse said I looked great and should be the new poster child for someone carrying twins! I thought that was pretty funny!

She then checked my blood pressure and it was pretty normal - so she told me to go home. I'm thinking if my blood pressure was high again she was going to admit me. So...off to home I went. I've been laying on the couch all day and having minor contractions. Nothing too serious - so I'm not too worried about it.

My doctors office just called with my lab results for the preeclampsia and my 24 hour urine collection. They said all came back normal and turns out I don't have it! YAHOO!!! My next apt. is Tuesday 2/24 - so until something else happens - that's the next time they'll see me.

Please say your prayers that something happens soon - I am finally to that uncomfortable point where I can't breathe, can't sleep, and feel huge! I'll keep you posted!
