Can someone talk me down please? *updated 7/6*

[muscari]

Getting ready to go back to the hospital. I slept better then I had thought, guess I was just so exhausted from everything my body decided to shut down my thoughts after a while to let me get some rest:) Didn't feel baby at all overnight unfortunately but this early morning I sat down for a bit and gently rubbed and moved my bump a bit like I do sometimes and she rewarded me with a nice kick and shove. Just the one but it made mama really happy! (guess secretly I was more worried then I let myself think I was) Will be back with a hopefully great positive update once I get home from the hospital again later today.

I'm glad you slept well! I'm hoping for a positive update soon.

[muscari]

Hey ladies! Sorry for the delayed update, I got home earlier this afternoon but my parents were visiting and then I dropped half-dead in bed and slept hard for a good while.

Baby girl passed her tests with flying colors today. Pretty much a text-book perfect CTG. They also rechecked all vitals etc on U/S and again things checked out good. I was hooked up for like 1.5h and she showed zero decels yay. They honestly still don't know what caused them yesterday. As I still don't feel a lot of clear movements, and she had such an abrupt decline in movements they do want to continue daily CTGs for the time being.

[elliecat17]

Wow. I'm glad they are following so closely, and especially happy that baby girl did so well today! Will be keeping you all in my thoughts in the coming days and weeks!

[jt2378]

Great news muscari! So glad to read a positive update and that they will continue to monitor. Much love to you and baby

Oh my goodness I cannot even imagine the stress that you have gone through. I am glad that they are keeping such a good eye on you and I hope that she doesn't give you any more scares!!

[muscari]

Last update for now!

Yesterday during the day she was still real quiet and slow, though since we had had a good CTG and ultrasound around lunchtime I wasn't too concerned. In the evening I finally got her to respond to me gently teasing her some, and MH&I had some good quality time with her where she was responding to his voice and all ♥♥ I literally fell asleep with a smile on my face, it was so good to feel her properly again for a bit! Overnight she was also more active then she had been the previous days, so when she fell quiet again when I woke up I just figured she was taking a nap

This morning I spent another 1.5 hours hooked up and once again baby girl did great. She had a bit of a slow spell halfway but picked up the pace again before too long, so we're all happy with how she's doing. So relieved! Best of all, we don't have to come back tomorrow! We already had an growth scan and a regular appointment with the OB (my MFM is on holiday still) scheduled for Monday, so for now it'll just be one day without monitoring/follow-up, and we're going from there. But all in all we're quite positive and no longer freaked out (too much anyway haha)! And once again they've repeated umpty times that no matter what we can ALWAYS call and come in, rather x times for nothing then once too late, and I've definitely taken that to heart.

Wow what an emotionally tough week! I'm so glad she's doing great now though. Keep cooking lil girl!!

Wow - what a week! So many hugs muscari! So glad to see the latest updates! Keep kicking and poking your mama, little one!!!! 💝

[muscari]

Thanks all for the continued LTs and love. We had another bit of a scare on Monday when during our regular check up and U/S they found I am low on amniotoc fluid. Ugh tis one thing after another? When looking at my chart I noticed I was already lowish before the weekend as well - wonder why they didn't mention anything but I guess the decreased movements decels took priority at the time heh.

Since there isn't much I/we can do about it and babygirl is back to her normal movements (and hopefullu stays that way!) they will just continue to monitor us closely and I have "orders" to call and come in when I leak or feel her less again.. It is a little (lot) stressy and makes me rather feel anxious at timea tbh. I feel like I lost confidence in my body some or something. And not sure to trust my feelings but hope my instinct won't abandon me. Am trying to stay calm, rest as much as I can and we are just taking things one thing at a time. 34 weeks today and I really hope she will decide and will be able to stick around and cook for at least another 3 weeks but we will take anything we get!

Eta: ugh stupid autocorrect!

[jules1614]

Hugs muscari. Just keep listening to your body/her and rest as much as you can.

[cnf]

I'm just seeing this. I'm so sorry this is happening.

I've heard protein and obviously drinking as much fluids as humanly possible can help with fluid levels. Don't quote me on it though, just something I've heard.

I hope she cooperates and cooks a bit longer for you. Big hugs.

[officedronette]

Hugs muscari. You're doing a great job. I hope she stays cooking for awhile longer.

[snowyowl]

Just catching up. This all sounds so stressful, I'm so glad she's doing well on the tests. It's great that your team is supportive of the more monitoring the better and that you feel comfortable taking advantage of that!
