This (sitting up) is very uncomfortable, but I need to get what has been going on into words. Who knows how long I will have to type all this out?I think the babies are doing really well. I see my doctor twice a week and have NST's twice a week. Ultrasounds are still at each visit, with a very long one every 3-4 weeks. At last measurement Baby A was in the 46th percentile, and Baby B was in the 76th percentile. There was a little concern at first due to the fact that both babues were "above the 95th percentile" previously and may have gone far below their growth curves, but now the technicians think the most recent U/S is most accurate and previous ones were mistaken due to the position of the babies. Obviously, none of this is an exact science. Ive kind of given up on any worry because no one seems to know anything anyway. I just take the info given and look into it myself with the help of a billion books as I lie on my side in bed! hahaThe pain in my pelvic area has gotten beyond painful. I asked my doctor to please help me figure out how to handle it and she found that now my bladder has prolapsed. That is actually what probably caused all the pain during labor with Noah, but has now gotten much, much worse. I will spare details, but Im hoping physical therapy will fix it rather than surgery. I have to wait until well after delivery to think about either one. I, once again refused a planned caesarian. I will just get an epidural and deliver vaginally (I hope!).Ive made it past the point where my doctors would try to stop my labor (not that Ive had any labor symptoms). I was also taken off the Magnesium a week ago (that is what I know has calmed my poor irritable uterus during this pregnancy). Now the contractions are getting crazy, which is what Im used to in my pregnancies. On Thursday I was dilated to 1 1/2 cm. Not bad! My doctor joked that "tomorrow works good for me, so talk to those babies". But Im not ready yet. I know how exhausting this is going to be for a long time. Ive got two children who are going into a new grade (one in High School!!!) and they both need clothes, supplies, backpacks, haircuts, etc. I want to make sure everything gets done right before delivery so Im working my tush off right now. Im also trying to make sure I rest a lot. I dont want to work myself so hard that Im exhausted when I go into labor. Im betting that as soon as Im done with my list of things, I will lie down to take a nap and then my water (one of them anyway LOL) will break!I know Im missing a lot, but my hind end is hurting really bad right now and I have to get off of here.
