Baby C scans

Yesterday we went back to the doctor to see how the baby was growing. On Monday, the doctor had ordered a scan because she was concerned. The tech was really good with us - she confirmed that the baby was fine. She was a little small, but all things were growing correctly according to her size.

My amniotic fluid, however, is a tad low. The measurement is supposed to be between 9.0 and 23.0. Mine is at 9.0. So the doctor put me on "bed rest" this weekend. He told me to stay inside where it's cool, rest and drink lots of fluids to get hydrated. I was also to stop all medication except my antibiotic. So - no more breathing. :) That's ok. Anything for this kid!

So Monday will be the next milestone for me. I will go to the hospital to have my fluid level checked again. If it's low, they will either put me on bed rest or admit me to give me IV fluids. Yea team. We'll see.

Keep praying!
