My exciting day at the doctors office:

Today when I saw the doctor she was really upset about me measuring so small and so she sent me for an non-stress test saying "if anything comes out wierd I'm sending you to Labor and Delivery". Anyway, so I went for my non-stress test and I'd only been sitting in the chair for about a minute when I suddenly felt really strange, dizzy, and I blacked out. I was only out for a few seconds and then I puked everywhere. Fun fun fun!! I guess the baby didn't like me sitting in a slightly reclined position. Good news is that everything checked out fine- the baby is just small.

Fun...not! I can tell something is in the works here. If you have a sawbones induce your baby, that's cheating! Here's the guess chart Quit puking everywhere you go. I'll bet people are getting tired of that. Just buck up will ya!

now you can have greater compassion for the compassion that I recieved from my husband while I was PG! Just gives ya warm fuzzies all over huh?

Glad that things are ok...if youre not eating enough to feed little Melwinna with...will they put you back on TPN?
I don't suppose it is all that great for the baby to be on this diet.

I'm still able to keep enough food down that I don't need TPN

Cambrie-- what did your doctor say about you blacking out? Did you have an ultrasound done? I measured small with Jacob because I was low on amniotic fluid, and they can only tell that by an ultrasound. I had nonstress tests twice a week, which were always fine. They wouldn't have known about the fluid problem without the ultrasound. And as you recall, that's why I was induced immediately with both Benjamin and Jacob-- there was essentially no fluid left, which is dangerous for the baby if you go into labor on your own. Maybe you should mention my experiences to your doctor if you haven't had an ultrasound to measure the fluid.

the doctor hasn't seen me since i blacked out. I'll see a different doctor next monday since my doc is on vacation.
yes, i had an US. I've got plenty of fluid.

thank goodness for that! I think you have had enough to deal with already. So has Steve decided what he is going to do with his job?
