Done!!

So I am officially done being prego. I am hot all the days, I cant breathe, I am swollen, and I feel like a hippo beyond belief. Oh the joys! I need to remember how incredibly blessed I am to be pregnant, but lately it has been hard.

At my last appointment, my blood pressure had jumped all the sudden and my swelling was out of the ordinary bad. My doctor was concerned that I was getting toxemia and told me that I was on a NO salt diet (at all!) and that i had to come back next week- if things were not better I was going on bed rest. Do you know how hard it is to not eat salt? So I began my task very well, but honestly when I am told that I cannot eat something that is all I think about. It consumes my brain. So needless to say I had a few slip up's but overall did pretty well. My doctor told me if I got a headache that I needed to go to call asap, as that could lead to a seizure or something. So of course I got a headache on Friday night. I called the on-call doctor and he told me that I needed to come in and be examined- and what do you know I was fine! Got to love those date nights in the hospital when they just send ya home, oh well it is better then the alternative.

So I go to my appointment today to get checked on about my blood pressure. It went down! YAY! I was so excited, one less thing to worry about! My doctor was very pleased and felt accomplished. So the next item on business was an ultrasound. I have been measuring small at my last two appointments, but the doctor just said it was probably no big deal but to be safe we would do an ultrasound. So I am laying there and she is doing her ton of measurements- I started to feel a little sick but I just wanted it to get done so I was like whatever. Well then I started to get worse and felt like I was going to pass out and throw up all at once so she stopped immediately- she said she got everything anyways. So we start going over the measurements and while Avery is small, she said she isn't too bad. She started looking for the amniotic fluid scans but realized that she didn't hit the button because she was too concerned with me. So we started again and immediately she noticed it was low. Normal fluid level should be at a 14 or 15, I am at a 8.5; at 5 they immediately induce. SO, I am now scheduled for a stress test for tomorrow and one a week for the rest of pregnancy, if not more. I go back on Monday and if my levels are not better I will be on strict bed rest, and they will have to access if it is better for the baby just to come out or stay inside me. Oh the joys!
Hopefully everything will go ok...We shall see!
