Update on my little guy - got on monitor again

mysweetpeasWil&Wes wrote: Just thought some of you may want to know...I got on the monitor again today and Wesley is doing fine. Just to be sure though, doc scheduled a sono for Thursday where they will test fluid, tone...and something else I can't remember. I guess they score the baby - 10 being the highest. If he scores anything below a 6, then I will need to be monitored twice a week.

Apparently there is no definite reason as to why I'm not getting many kicks lately. Doc could only give me the obvious reason - which is that there may not be enough room in there. But according to my monitor reading, Wesley IS an active baby...Unfortunately I'M just not feeling him much I guess. Which I find strange. So to explain that, the doc said it could actually be the opposite, where maybe he is a small baby and that's why I'm not feeling him. It's hard to say for sure, but hopefully the sono will give us some answers!

Anyhow, if this continues, he will induce me after 38 weeks. I hope that it doesn't get to that point, unless of course something is wrong and we need to get him out. But again, the doc says that according to my readings, he is doing fine. Ughhhh, now I'm stressed! Thursday can't come fast enough....

Thanks for everyone's concerns.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Hugs, Rae. I'm sure things are fine, but I'm glad your doc is keeping a close eye on things. I didn't feel Logan much, but my placenta was covering most of the front of my uterus, it cushioned things, I think.

kayla's mama replied: Glad you got some peice of mind today and were able to see Wesley. How fun!!!!

Sending you ~*~*~*hurry up Thursday~*~*~* vibes.

Well I actually didn't get to see him today, but I heard him loud and clear. I will get to see him on Thursday though!

mom2tripp replied: Lots of hugs Rae I'm sure little Wesley is fine, just think about it this way, maybe he'll be an extra laid back baby

I'm sure he's fine but understand the worrying, it's natural. Please let us know how you are!

jcc64 replied: Hey Rae-
Is your dr on the young side, by any chance? Lots of times, younger drs tend to test more- b/c they sometimes are less sure of their instincts, and haven't had lots of btdt experience, kwim?
In any event, he did say Wes is doing just fine, which is certainly enough to hang your hat on. He's simply proceeding with caution, and given the high stakes of practicing obstetrics, that's prudent, as well as beneficial to you, but is in no way an indication that anything is necessarily wrong. Try to relax, I'm sure the baby's ok.

jacobsmama replied: I'm glad that you got monitered again and i"m glad you are getting the biophysical profile done on thursday that will be a big reassurance if the baby scores a big fat 10!!! yeah...He will be fine! Kristi

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I'm glad everything is ok. Maybe the u/s will show that your placenta is in front and keeping you from feeling him much. I hope you don't have to be induced early, but I would want to do the same thing if my doctor was worried!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: He's probably in his late forties, early fifties...so not old, but not straight out of med school. I am embarassed to say that I don't know how long he's been practicing, but I really do feel comfortable and greatful that he's taking a lot of precaution. I'm actually glad that he's not just a BTDT kinda doc only because the doc that delivered Wil was a bit like that and she always sorta pushed me out the door feeling like a worry-wart! But, like you said, taking the precaution does not mean that there IS anything wrong. So I'll just try and take it easy.

It was cute, because he knew that I was embarased coming in again...so he even said "don't feel embarassed or worry that we think you're crying wolf". We will put you on that monitor any time you want. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

coasterqueen replied: It could be that he is just small. The doc had told me that could have been the reason why I didn't feel Megan as much. I definitely felt her a lot less than Kylie.

Glad everything went well though.

A&A'smommy replied: oh goodness i missed your other post but I'm sorry to hear that I hope that you don't have to be induce but goodness its better to be safe I'm sure

ediep replied: hugs Rae! God Luck on Thursday. I am sure Wes is fine

b&bsmom replied: glad to hear all is good. I hope you get some better answers from the sono. Good luck and KUP

KingMom replied: Rae - Glad to hear Wesley was doing fine, it's rough worrying about it. I'm sure your excited though for the sono tomorrow, I'm curious to know myself how big he is

My2Beauties replied: Sorry I missed this post - I'm glad that he did give you some words of encouragement and I'm sure everything is fine!

KingMom replied: Best of luck with the sono today!
