Ok this is going to be a HUGE !!!
Not sure where to start, but it was a really positive appointment, we did all the tests except the cervix length as she didn't want to risk it cause any further irritation.
With the Nifedipine she is really happy with how I am controlling it and said she is leaving it up to me, and that I can go up to 150mg a day if we need to I'm currently on 60mg daily.
Test results
GD : Sugar levels were 5.4 so no GD
Platelets : Stable at 153 (friggen awesome, at this stage with N they started a rapid decline at this point)
Other BT's : all came back negative
AFI's : 21 insanely awesome, my fluid levels have flown up so not low amniotic fluid anymore, wooo hoooo!!!!
PI: 0.99, (dopplers ~ so looking good)
EFF: 1440grams!!!!!!!This baby has had a massive growth spurt which is brilliant, and she said there wa a good layer of fat as well ;) It looks as though my placenta is defying the odds and doing great things, lets hope it continues all the way to delivery
So all the things that were going wrong and were really setting us back as not doing so at the moment, this little Flicker is really one strong little bubba!!!!
Now for the really BIG NEWS!!!!!
I am totally blown away by this!!!!
Flicker is still bum down, has shifted around a bit more as the feet had been stuck in my cervix the last few weeks. She tried an ECV as the opportunity was there and this bub needs to get into celphic while we have a little room left. She tried twice, popped Flickers bum out of my cervix and got it up to the side and got the head down further but both times bubs went straight back , she had to stop a couple of times due to me having contractions it was good that she got to feel them and how strong they were and certainly confirmed the need for the Nifedipine and said to boost my Nifedipine tonight as the ECV will stir everything up more.
But I bought up some questions about C/S as I thought it was inevitable if bub chose to stay breech, but she told me not to get hung up about it as we could achieve a breech delivery !!!!!!! OMG are you serious, I think my eyes popped out of my head!!!
Due to N arriving so quickly and me dialating quickly and effectively, if we can get bubs a few more weeks along then we can go for a breech delivery.
I think it has just lifted a HUGE weight off my mind and hopefully this will help Flicker turn anyway, but to know that my OB is supportive of a breech delivery has just totally blown me away - man she ROCKS!!!!!!
Best news ever!
