Courtney had her OB visit today. She gained 4 lbs. in the last 3 weeks. So far, a total weight gain of 19 lbs. at 23w3d (baby measuring 24w4d)! Her blood pressure is under control 110/60 (Yea!) and the glucose test for gestational diabetes came back normal! They did find blood in her urine again for the second visit in a row, but no other signs of infection. The doctor checked her cervix which is still long, thick and closed....so the doctor is attributing the blood to the blood thinners she is taking. He said she is progressing nicely and is not worried!
An induction date was discussed but March is too far out on his calendar to be 100% sure. He wants to be the doctor on call when she is induced....so he is saying this with only a 60% certainty! So far he is looking at March 17th! (St. Patrick's Day).....This date depends on three variables:
1. If he is on call that day......
2. If Courtney's cervix is ready for induction....
3. If baby Vaeh doesn't decide to arrive earlier!
Courtney is a planner and is trying to figure out her class schedule. The baby is due during her spring break....but with the induction..... she will have one more week of classes before Spring Break......Doc said that the worst case scenario would be a C-Section on that Wednesday with a hospital stay until Sunday and she can sit in class on Monday for finals.......Let's just pray all goes well with no C-Section!
By the way, March 17th was my original due date with Courtney 22 years ago! How cool is that???
Next OB visit is December 21st!
