Yesterday was my 32-week OB appointment. All continues to progress well. I measured on target for 32 weeks and Baby Boy's heart rate was a healthy 148 bpm again. He continued his normal high activity as he would kick back at being poked and prodded by the doctor. We still have our tentative c-section date for 24 November (47 days to go!). My doctor will be on leave then, so a new doctor, who has yet to arrive, will likely be delivering the baby.
My blood pressure was elevated which is the story of my life. The nurse took it 2 times -- the first time was a whopping 152/69, the second time was 137/68... better, but no cigar. Some good news was that my glucose tolerance test results were indeed normal. 
I had a postpartum uterine hemmorhage 5 days after Rachel was born, so I asked if that was likely to repeat itself. The doctor said it was something to make note of, but that there was not a greater likelihood of recurrence. Apparently, the same goes for the SCH (subchorionic hematoma/hemmorhage) in subsequent pregnancies.
My next appointment is scheduled for 28 October. We'll be 35 weeks along by then.
I am continually grateful to the Lord to be able to bring good reports of this pregnancy. I am awed by how far He has brought us through this experience.
In Christ, Talya |
