My first week inpatient has passed. I am not sure if I feel like I have accomplished anything. I wasn't planning on being admitted for another week from now so I still feel behind. I am so eager to get to a point where I feel like I have hit a milestone.
I go on the monitor 3 times a day and I get an ultrasound 2 times a week. I see my OB everyday and the resident everyday. I definately feel that we are getting good care.
I had another ultrasound yesterday. The anxiety before each ultrasound is so high. I fear that at any moment they will tell me we have to deliver. The ultrasound looked good. Blood flow to each baby was good and there was no obvious cord entanglement. I am so confused on the cord entanglement. It seems like with each ultrasound we hear something different. One ultrasound they look entangled the next they don't??? I imagine their cords will be entangled. Our Dr. tells us that is pretty much inevitable. I just never know what the virduct for the day is going to be. We go for a growth scan on Friday to see if they are growing ok. That terrifies me! I am so scared that the babies aren't growing right. Baby A has a 2 vessel cord (should have a 3 vessel cord) and was measuring smaller than B last growth check. I just pray that between the 2 vessel cord and possible cord entanglement that baby A will grow grow grow. It's funny because I feel more movement from her than her sister "B".
I thought that being in the hospital would relieve me of stress. I am not sure if it has or if it has just been a slow release. I still worry every minute of the day and now I worry about how Lyla is doing at home. I think when I get further along and I feel like it is safer to deliver them I will feel better.
I'll be 26 weeks on Friday which will be my first mini milestone I guess.
Will keep updating.
Hang in there, girl! You're in the best place you can possibly be, as difficult as it must be at times. Thinking of you!
