Busy day so far...

Let's see. What have we done today?


-Almost 2 hours of monitoring. They weren't happy with the lack of accelerations and decelerations on the strip.

-Meeting with therapist to determine my mental well being level with so much going on. I passed.

-Meet with the acupuncturist and receive my first acupuncture treatment. (That was actually kind of cool.)

-Met with the Peri, same stuff different day there. Trying to keep me pregnant and healthy and Bella in and healthy.

-Had a BPP (Biophysical Profile) on Bella because they weren't happy with the heart monitor strip.
     -She did practice breathing - scored a 3
     -She moved plenty - scored a 2
     -Her fluid level measured 8-9 - scored a 3
     -NST I think she failed if the follow up BPP is any indication

    - Total Score: 8

A score of 8 to 10 points means that your baby is healthy. A score of 6 to 8 points means that you may need to be retested in 12 to 24 hours. A score of 4 or less may mean the baby is having problems. Further testing will be recommended.

 Overall it's been fairly eventful today. Nothing horribly exciting, nor anything horribly disappointing. I still miss home, however acupuncture, BPPs, therapists, and doctors readily available at my beck and call, is a little bit cool if nothing else. Gotta find the bright side somewhere.

  1. Wow, accupuncture in the hospital? That's crazy. Very cool.
