Dr Appointment

I had two dr's appointments this week. The first one was Monday morning. He looked at the ultrasound and said that the babies are growing great. He agreed that it would probably be only 3 or 4 more weeks instead of June 10. Since I have been very congested, he said that he wanted to see me back on Friday to make sure everything was ok before the weekend.

The second appointment was on Friday morning. The first thing the dr told me was that I looked much more uncomfortable than I had previously. He also said that he thinks the babies have dropped lower and that is causing a lot of my hip pain. Another thing we talked about were the benefits and risks of having the babies now versus in a few weeks. He said that if the babies were born now, there is a 10% chance of them having breathing problems and being in the NICU. However, if we wait 3 more weeks, the chances of breathing problems and a longer hospital stay are almost 0%. On the other hand, I had a c-section with LilyAnn and there is a chance that the weight of the babies will cause the old scar to tear. He seemed to be a little worried about this. We talked about the signs that this is happening. He said that if I feel that something is wrong, I should get to the hospital immediately. He said that if he could predict the future and knew something was going to go wrong, he would deliver them today, but he feels that it's better to wait at least 2 or 3 more weeks.

I am getting very uncomfortable. It is hard to walk around once I get up from a chair. My hips just don't want to work right without pain. At night, I have to take some type of pain medication just to get a few hours of sleep. I'm very tired and doing basic chores seems to wear me out. However, I just don't feel that I'm ready to have them. I have laundry and dirty dishes and the carpets need to be vacuumed! Anyway, I just keep praying that God knows the right time for them to come so I'm trying to leave it up to him! Also, I keep thinking that next Saturday is a full moon! Maybe there is something to that that will help them come!
