OB Appointment 26 weeks 3 days...

I am back :) 26 weeks 3 days.

It was a pretty good appointment a few changes, but that was to be expected.

She checked my cervix on the external US and it was just under 2.5cm, BUT before anyone gets worried, the actual measurement would be at least 0.5-1cm greater, as she had done the external before and then internal and we gained nearly 1cm, so I was happy and not concerned with the measurement. We are also on medical management for it now, so I will be going onto Progesterone if need be and was good to give the internal scan a break and avoid any agrivation ;)

We didn't do a growth scan or dopplers, bub has a nice strong HB and looks good so I was happy to leave them until the next appointment.

BP was nice and low and is dropping each week, which is good, I think it shows that I am coping well and there aren't any issues there was 105/60 :D

Fundal Height on par.

Disucssed the changes to the BH's (last night going all night and that the Nifedipine wasn't working all the time) and a bout of cramping I had the other night, which was never regular enough to be timed and settled after a couple of hours.

So my Nifedipine has been increased I now had to take a double dose, 2pm and 6pm, My OB is expecting that we are likely going to be heading up to 4 or more doses a day, but said it is much better to try and get hold of them rather then letting them go.

Flicker must turn very soon, rapidly running out of room and with the head in the left horn, back over my cerevix and the placenta in the right horn, the option of a ECV is not at all possible, as bub has to actually do a somersault either facing towards my spine or belly button and an ECV can only be done with a clockwise rotation (looking at the front so turning to the left or right). And the septum prevents that happening :( So I have to spend as much time as I can on my hands and knees, doing inversions, pillow under my bum while I sleep, sitting backwards on dining room chairs and no lounging backwards or reclining.

OB was really proud of me (again LOL), and I told her about a thread on a FB page I am on asking who your OB was, and told her that there were a few really lovely messages about her on there and she was pretty chuffed. It was good to pass on some positive feedback that she may not have seen otherwise, the girls at the front office looked it up as I gave them the page so they were going to show her :D

So I feel good still desparate to get out of the 20's and into the 30's.
