Not Again!

I'll keep this post short and sweet...

My fluid is ONCE AGAIN low, which means I've won an all-expense paid trip back to twice-a-week monitoring at the perinatal diagnostic center. Oh, how did I get so lucky?

On the up side, I'm 37 weeks today. Now, I just need to figure out how to convince the doctors that they should go ahead and let Baby Emma make her debut. Hmm.....

  1. Oh no! Come on Baby Emma, mommy's body needs a break! I'll be praying for you!

  2. Emma will be here before you know it! 37 weeks is full term- she'll only benefit from staying in there longer. At this point any more days is just icing (or additional fat, in this case). I can't wait to read your post announcing her arrival!

  3. Sorry you're stuck with this again. Are they measuring the doppler flow in the umbilical cord? I assume things would have to get worse before they'll induce, but surely they'll consider doing it at 38-39 weeks even if things are holding steady?
    Good luck with the monitoring!

  8. just tell them you want to induce at 38 weeks if she's not here yet, they were going to induce me and my baby wasn't in any danger, it was me that was in pain, so surely they will allow emma to come a little early.

  9. Ok, I'm on the edge of my seat here! Since you haven't posted since Monday I'm wondering if little Emma has made her appearance??? If not, I hope you're both still doing well. If she is here, I can't wait to see pictures!!!
