Wouldn't Be a Pregnancy Without One Scare...

So I had a bit of a scare this morning. I was getting ready for work, making my lunch, when I felt a gush of fluid. At first I though it was just the usual for what pregnancy brings until I went to the bathroom and realized that there was a lot of it, it was clear and watery, and it had no odor to it.

So I called the doctor's office and they gave me a choice of coming in at 10:30am or going to the hospital to get checked. Needless to say, I chose the doctor's office. When I got there EVERYONE pretty much knew who I was after I said I was a last minute squeeze in. Apparently I am the type of phone call they dread getting.

They 'took a look under the hood' for the lack of a better term and tested the fluid. It was not amniotic fluid, which is very good. Everything looked normal and in order, and her heart rate was good (in the 140s). They think that since her head is right on my cervix, it's causing the regular fluids to back up and leak at random intervals AND the pressure on my bladder caused me to leak urine. So basically I peed my pants.

Never have I been so happy to learn that I peed my pants.

Anyway, my next appointment is April 6th, and I should be scheduling a 3-D ultrasound during that week as well. Guess I can't say it was a boring day!

Delivery Date and More!

So I have scheduled my last 2 cardiology appointments for the pregnancy, which is very exciting to me. I have to go in for one more echo, and then follow up with him after that. He's sent a letter to my OB about my C-section, so everything should be all set with that.

I did my gestational diabetes screening at my last OB appointment, and I will be calling about it today. I scheduled my C-section, too. Lyric will be born June 1st! The surgery is scheduled for 7:30am, which means we will have to be at the hospital at 5:30am, but that's okay because I won't be allowed to eat before then!! I know I'll be starving when all is said and done, haha.

This week I am: developing a brain, hardening a skeleton and helping mature her lungs and muscles. Better up my calcium intake, because she'll need it!

Next appointment is March 31st :)
