Follow up appointment

Thursday 06.10.10 (29 weeks & 1 day)
I had another follow up appointment with Dr. Cook this morning. There are still no changes with the baby (very little amniotic fluid). He said that her heartbeat is good & strong and that she is growing nicely. He estimates that she weighs around 4 lbs. Unfortunately she is still breech, a little sideways actually, & if she is still breech at term, he may need to do a C-section to get her out. If he does a C-section this time, then any babies we have after this must be delivered via C-section. Some doctors believe that you should not perform a C-section on a baby that is not expected to survive, however, Dr. Cook feels that trying to deliver Therese in the position that she is in now would be very traumatic, not only for her, but for me as well. We still have plenty of time to decide & there is a small chance that she will turn, although very unlikely due to the lack of fluid. He said that I am doing great. My blood pressure & weight are good. Also, my glucose test from a few weeks ago came back perfect (no gestational diabetes). I go back to see Dr. Cook 2 weeks from today. I also have an appointment with Dr. Gei (my specialist) that day. He will do another ultrasound on the baby.
