I went to the doctor yesterday for my normal appointment. The baby seems to be doing great and was moving a lot. We passed our non-stress quickly for once.
My sugars have been a little all over the place lately though, so she has increased my insulin to 25 units at night. We'll try this for a few days and if things don't settle down I will have to go on another type of insulin in the morning, probably starting on Monday. We'll try that for a few days along with the nighttime insulin. If that doesn't seem to do the trick then I'll have an amniocentesis sometime next week...this is to see if the baby's lungs are developed enough. I am not sure how they can tell that by amniocentesis, but apparently they can. If the amnio shows that the lungs are developed...then...I'll be induced early.
Oh god.
My doctor also scheduled an ultrasound for me on Monday. I wasn't supposed to go until the 20th, but she doesn't want to wait that long. She wants to see how big the baby is. She sure feels big!
So...I guess theoretically we could have a baby here in a matter of days. I am feeling confident-ish that we can hold out for a couple more weeks though. Hopefully this insulin starts to work!!!!!
