Hi Shazia, Raji, Ammy, and all....
Now for update... Yesterday, I had a fright as all night long my baby was not moving. I had to go to the ER in the morning. Fortunately, testing revealed that the baby is active but had changed from shoulder to buttock breech position. But now, I have to go every week for a non-stress test as there is some concern that the baby might be getting stressed inside. I also have to do another scan after 2 weeks to check the position again. Most likely, this is going to end up in a c-section. How is everything going with u guys? My first was a normal delivery and the thought of c-section is freaking me out as I don't take very well to surgeries!!! Besides, here they keep u awake during surgery, that is freaking me out even more. Ok, I will update more in the next post. At this point I have been told to take it easy as my contractions are growing stronger by the day.
Raji, I read ur post about the small baby, don't worry. Try to load up on fats, but remember that a smaller baby does not necessarily mean a weak one. Babies gain weight rapidly in the first few weeks outside. The real fear is if the lungs are immature.
Shazia, Ammy... any decisions in the names area? We are still deadlocked though now my hubby has said that it will be my decision... (HALLELLUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). ok keep me posted.. bye!
Luv, Siya Bhavna replied. Hi! I am glad ur baby is doing fine...do keep in mind that the babies have their own waking and sleeping patterns...Also ur condition affects the baby..last few days I was down with cold and my baby's movement was lethargic...even over all..I feel more of waves than kicks or punches as many people say...Non stress tests are a good way to keep track..I go for them twice a week now...make sure u eat a good snack before u go for teh test...as they will measure fetal heart rate in response to movement.
This is my second baby...my first one aws much less active than this one but has kept me on my toes ever since she popped out...!!!!!
So just relax...
