I haven't been blogging much due to the Thanksgiving -> Christmas holiday cramming. Despite my condition, I've realized that taking it easy this time of year is nearly impossible. The upside is, I've felt great and since my doctor said I don't have to be on strict bed rest, I did manage to get a lot done anyway.
So I had an appointment this past Wednesday. Everything was routine and quick. I did gain another .5 lb and the other 2 I previously gained haven't budged. This was great news to me although now I'm thinking that since I'm gaining, I should probably watch it. My glucose screening will be next week. I tend to tango dangerously close to diabetes. So I'm going to try to go easy on the cookies -- starting after Christmas ;)
All the baby's vitals appear to be fine. My next ultrasound is scheduled for 1/12/2012 where they'll check on the previa and baby's growth. I'm hoping for some progress.
This week marks a very important one in women with previa. At 24 weeks the baby/fetus is considered viable. So that means if she was born now, she has a really good chance of survival with intensive care. The longer she bakes the better still, it's assuring to know that the risk of loss is dropping.
