I went to the doctor’s every day this week but Thursday! I had 2 US and 3 stress tests.
This time, all his stress tests were good, thank God! And my fluid went from 7 to 8.5. He had a growth scan this week too. I’ll remind you that at 34.4 weeks, AJ was 3lbs 14 oz. I went on Friday to my regular OB, not the special doctor I see, and they did a growth scan. AJ came up as 3lbs 13oz at 35.5 weeks. I asked them how could that be. They said it’s human error and he didn’t lose weight but they don’t think he gained any either. I don’t get it. I have been eating and eating. I gained 3 1/2 more pounds but AJ didn’t grow and I don’t know why. I’m starting to get worried. The past 2 weeks before this, he gained over 5 oz a week. Now, he didn’t gain any. They said when I go back for my growth scan on Thursday this week, they will measure him and talk to me about options but they didn’t go any further into it.
IDK. I’m just really worried.
So Thursday, I had my growth scan for Ace!
At 32 weeks, he was 3 lbs. and at the 11%. At 34, he was 3 lbs., 14 oz so he is still really small, in the 14%. Everything seemed to go just fine. then the doctor came in and told me my fluid is low, it’s at 7.5. IDK what that means but that’s my biggest pocket of fluid. If it reaches 5, they will take him out. I guess my fluid dropped a lot in 2 weeks so it worried them. The doctor also told me that if he doesn’t reach 5lbs by my 36-week ultrasound, they are goin to take him out. They are not sure why he is so small. They said there might be a knot in his umbilical cord but they can’t see one. Also at my stress test, he was a little “stressed”. I was hooked up to the test for almost 2 hours. His heart rate was high but it finally calmed down. So they let me go home. I have to see my doctor 2 times a week for 2 stress tests and they are goin to check his fluid 2 times a week…
I pray he grows and that every thing stays safe for him. I don’t want him out at 36 weeks, I want him in!!!
