I can't wait to read your birth story, either.View Thread


I'm on strict bedrest until then. At least I'm getting to finish it up at home.View Thread

My blood pressure was pretty high today considering that I'm on Labetalol. It was in high 140s and even hit 157/95 in the middle of the day.View Thread

I got upstairs to labor/delivery (luckily, my OB's office is attached to my hospital) and my favorite doctor, Dr. E, was on call. He ordered a 24 hour urine analysis to see if I was spilling protein. Also, he and Dr. K told me in no uncertain terms that I was here for the duration of the pregnancy, which could be up to 2 weeks!!! I was pretty upset to hear this.
I'm waiting for the results of the urine test. If I have a lot of protein, they'll probably deliver the twins early. Also, if I have any other problems, they will. I'm really ready to have the babies. We had an anatomy scan today and they met 8/8 criteria. They seem to be really healthy and are both probably over 5 lbs each now.
My husband was off from work today so he decided to spend most of the day up here with me. I asked him, "Are you disappointed that we're doing a c-section and not a traditional birth?" He replied, " No, because you're a weenie!!! " I didn't know whether or not to laugh or be offended!!! I guess I can't be mad at him because he brought me some Peanut M&Ms.
***Also, my doctors have put me on a normal diet. Since last week, I've lost most of my water weight by being on a low-salt diet.****View Thread


Waiting for the last few weeks to be over is the worst!View Thread

I can't wait to meet my babies. I haven't been able to sleep in my bed for weeks and my recliner is getting almost as uncomfortable. I pray for labor every day, LOL!View Thread
