*sigh* It never ends...
Had my ultrasound appointment today and have mixed emotions about the results. The babies grew in the two weeks, I just wish they were bigger still. One is 1.9 pounds, the other 2.2 pounds. The doc didn't mention any problems with either and that is close in size. I am, however, 28 weeks tomorrow and I'm thinking they are on the small side. Then again, I"ve only had two weeks to be eating for three. They were 1.7 and 1.9 then...so I've gotten them up a bit. I'm going to keep trying.
Emotions mixed mainly because the doc couldn't say, 100 percent for sure, that there was a dividing membrane between these buggers. I had been told there WAS one, now I'm told they can't really tell. Lovely. The cervix is shortened and funneled, and i think it increased changes with pressure. He wants me back in 2 days to see what it's looking like and in the meantime told me to lay down. I have bathroom and food privileges.
I was hoping to come back from the appointment feeling much better. Bt between the proding and probing aches and the not sure about a membrane, I'm not sure I'm feeling much calmer now!
I want these babies to gain their weight and develop their organs and come out so I can see them and not worry about them compressing each other's cords!
If I get to 34 or full term, we'll do some jumping for joy. *Well maybe not jumping right away...*
I'm leery about Wednesday now. I'm afraid they will want to keep me in the hospital and I've been dreading that. I don't do well by myself and I don't want to be in a hospital until I deliver. I know a lot of people do it. My big fear is if something happens, and I'm at the hospital 50 minutes from home, Eric won't be able to get there in time! All right, I"m done.
Oh, but they did confirm both are girls. And since they looked so hard for a membrane, I'm taking it as they are identical as well. We didn't ask our questions, I figure we can do that Wednesday. Cross your fingers that they see a firm membrane and that I can remain on bed rest at home. I never thought my first pregnancy would be such a scary experience. I don't think I want to do it again.
