Today started out great! I love those days you wake up feeling pretty good (for me that means rested) and you also get good news... Dr. Feldstein came in and he said I can go home tomorrow!!! I am beyond excited because he had me thinking I was here for the long haul!!! He met with a High Risk OB (who saw me when I was in last time) to go over my case and they both decided it was ok for me to go home, here's why:
- My body is tolerating the bleeds very well. My blood count is good, iron levels good and I am seemingly unaffected physically by the blood loss.
- The baby is tolerating the bleeds and contractions very well. What can I say, he's as strong as his brother, growing very big and actually fighting back against each contraction :) In all seriousness though, he has passed all the stress tests with flying colors and is thriving to say the least.
- My amnotic fluid levels are great, so no risk to baby
- My uterus looks great, nice and thick and it does not appear that the placenta is growing into the uterine wall at all (I am at risk for placenta accreta, you can google it if you're curious).
- I live close to the hospital.
So, now we're back in the waiting game... it is inevidable I will bleed again, but hopefully I can hold off for a few weeks! My gut tells me I'll make it to 37 weeks and move forward to my scheduled c-section the first week of December, but we'll see... it is a waiting game.
I included some pictures of my room (I know some of you are curious about the new Prentice)... it's nice. I have a 42" plasma TV, my own bathroom (door is closed), a nice rocker and my comfy bed. There is also a pull-out type bed for guests, but Chris says it isn't too comfy. I also included a picture of my view... not so great. I can't see any trees, which are so fun to watch this time of year.
