- apparently all along I've been two days behind on my counts. So really I get to 29 weeks tomorrow instead of Thursday. weird, but okay!
- Group Health's practises are the same as at the UW (where we took those two classes). If the girl stays breech, we're automatically talking c-section. That's a bummer in that I thought I would get a chance to try a regular birth, but I suppose it's good that everyone agrees that's how it will go.
- He (Dr. Fure) also agrees that the girl may turn herself back to vertex in the next couple weeks. After 30/32 weeks it's getting a lot less likely that she'll turn herself, but of course anything is possible.
- It is too dangerous to try and turn a twin now (or ever). I thought well, maybe it's too tight later, but maybe they could turn her now? But apparently there's too many things that might get caught, so they never turn twin A.
- I have moved into appts-every-two-weeks territory. Soon (32ish weeks) I'll move into every week, with FNSTs (fetal non-stress tests).
- Up until 37 weeks we just wait and see if my body goes into labor. I think if it does, and the girl is still breech, then they take me to the operating room and voila - babies. :D If I don't go into labor by 37 weeks, then they schedule me a planned c-section for sometime that week. Roughly, this means either labor starts on its own in July, or we schedule a date for early August. At my awesome shower yesterday it was pointed out to me that if hte babies are born on August 9, that would make their birthday 8/9/10. which is pretty darn cool...
- my belly is measuring at about 38 weeks for a singleton.
- Sleeping is getting much harder, so I asked if i could sleep in a chair or if that counted as sleeping on my back (which is not allowed) and turns out I can sleep in a chair.
okay, back to work for now. Unless something goes crazy I'll be working for at least another 2 weeks!
