We saw the High Risk Specialist yesterday and got good news. Baby is growing, but of course not as big as the "average". Sonogram says she's 4 lbs 12 oz. I hope she's going to be at least 5 lbs (and some change) when she is born.
Since everything else looks good, we will schedule for the C-section when I'm 39 weeks. Wow. It's coming closer. Of course, when I turn 39 weeks, it'll be 2 days away from Lil' M's third birthday. Doh! For the most part, we are good with planning life events, but not this time. Well I just hope for our baby to be healthy.
My doctor said its up to me if I stop taking Nifedipine at week 37 (which means next Tuesday!). At 37 weeks, babies are considered full term. Though, the possibility of me going into labor right after I stop taking it may happen. If baby was a good size right now, I'd consider stopping and letting whatever happen naturally. However, I hope for her to gain more weight, so I'll take it as long as possible. Though at 38 weeks, I may consider it. Sometimes nothing will happen. I'll still put myself on bed rest because it promotes good blood circulation to baby and added weight.
It'll be nice to hold our precious baby girl and get out of bed rest! I'm nervous even though it's our second time around the block. It's a different baby and we have a toddler to tend to now. I hope to be able to give equal attention to both kids.
I'll post when I'm to have my C/S.
