Well it is looking like I will be having my baby soon. My amniotic fluid yesterday was extremely low. I now have to have fluid checks twice a week and non-stress tests on the baby once a week. I also have to have bio-physical profiles on the baby twice a week. The baby is still doing very well. She shows no signs of stress and she's growing well. I am 33 wks. today and his goal is to get me to 34 weeks so that he's sure the lungs are mature enough. However, if when I go on Thursday my fluid is even lower he will put me in the hospital and give me steroid shots to mature the baby's lungs and than we will deliver her. I'm quite stressed and upset. I have to get over the stress though because that's only making things worse for myself and the baby. Everyone please keep my baby in your prayers, thoughts, whatever it is you may happen to do. I just want my baby to be safe and healthy.

You are going to have to do alot of relaxing right. Both my sons were a couple weeks early. 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 weeks. I will think good thoughts for you. I think everything will be fine. Usually people stress out about what could happen. But usually that bad never happens. I assumed everything would be fine with my sons and everything was. Be positive., don't you go lifting a finger around your place now ya hear.
Easier said than done I know but take a big breath & let it out and try to relax and not worry. You are almost at your goal date and your baby is doing well. Positive thoughts only allowed! I will keep you and your precious little one in my prayers. ((((((hugs)))))))
I sat down to write this and my mom and dads preacher called me and now I'm totally in tears. *Deep Breath* Anyway, I'm getting ready to go to my regular baby doctor. I don't know if I mentioned this but I have been seeing a perinatologist because of my youngest babies birth defects. He is the one who has been dealing with the low fluid. I will feel much better after talking to him I think. I have so many questions. Hopefully I'll come home with some positive answers. Keep your fingers crossed.

We're still hanging in there. The baby is as wiggly as ever. I go again for a fluid check, BPP, and NST tomorrow. I'll update you then. I'm supposed to go twice a week, Monday and Thursday, but Monday was Yom Kippur so I had to skip it. Had things not felt normal I wouldn't have skipped it. I'm still anxious to go tomorrow to see how things are going. My mom and dads preacher did just call to check in but I was very emotional that day and all of the mushiness made me weepy.

Glad to hear all is well! As puttin said keep doing whatever your doing! It's working! Best of luck and hope you have a good dr's appointment tomorrow! Each extra day baby stays put is a good one!
The dr. doesn't think I'll make it passed next week. I'm going to do my best to make it passed next week though. I DO NOT want to have this baby until I'm at least 36 weeks. 37 weeks is full term so I'll be close. Next Tuesday I'll be 35 weeks. It appears that I'm going to have a c-section. I'm freakin' out. The thoughts of having a needle put in my back scares me so much.
