High risk dr appointment today. Just a biophysical (checking blood flow through heart, practice breathing, cord blood flow, checking organs, and intestine dilation) and nonstress test (NST- checking heart rate, movement, and my contractions).
The biophysical went great. The intestines haven't dilated any further for the past 2 weeks (20mm)- yay! But Dr Dobak said there was quite a bit of intestine out, couldn't say exactly which part of his intestines were out though. All of his organs, breathing, and blood flow looked great. He was moving A LOT today. Getting excited I guess!
Somehow I miscalculated what week I was in (for those that know me well- math is not my forte). So we're in the 35th week right now. Dr Dobak defintely wants to wait until baby is at least in his 36 week before we get him out if he can help it. We asked to go to 37.5 weeks if baby will stay in that long so he's into "full term" territory. Dr Dobak is checking with the other doctors about firming up a date, shooting for 31 Jan now.
My favorite part of the ultrasound today was the tech showing us hair on his head and a fat roll on his neck! Chubby bubby! :)
The NST went great as well- when he stayed still enough!!
So the waiting continues... Up next is my regular OB appt on Friday for another NST and progress check!
