Doctors and Confusion

This has been a week full of doctors appointments and lots of confusion! It started on Monday with my 1st regular NST of the week. On Monday's I see a doctor afterwards to get checked out and have an ultrasound to check my fluid, which thankfully is staying normal still, and check Hannah's position since she is in breech. Well as my previous blog states last Monday we discussed trying to move Hannah or doing a c-section. We decided to try and move her first. So Dwayne decided to join me this past Monday so we could figure out the next step. Well I saw a different doctor and he said they wouldn't do the external version until I was 39 weeks, the previous doctor said at 36 weeks. He pretty much said I was lying or had misunderstood what my regular doctor had said. So before I left that day I made sure to make an appointment to discuss it with my regular doctor, to find out what the heck was going on and have her put it in writing or something since she was going on leave while I was at 36 weeks. So needless to say we left the office VERY confused when we expected to leave with some answers, lol.

On Tuesday Katie had a doctors appointment because for forever now, meaning years, she hasn't been able to breath right out of her nose. We thought it was something she would maybe outgrow which is why we waited to take her to the doctor. Well we finally decided at 6 she must not be able to outgrow it. With us living in VA and right at the beginning of spring they automatically started assuming it was allergies, even though it is a year round 24/7 type of thing for her. The doctor was a bit shocked when she looked up Katies nose and saw her whole nasal cavity is swollen shut. Just to rule out allergies they have started her on nasonex and zyrtec, we go back in 3 weeks and if it isn't any better then we will go on to ENT to get it checked out. I am hopeful it is just allergies but I have a feeling there is more to it than that. We also have to watch her sleep because she suspects she might have sleep apnea too. We also found out Katie now weighs 73lbs!!!! She is one big girl, lol.

Wednesday, yesterday, I got to meet with my regular OB doctor to discuss moving Hannah. Like I told the other doctor she confirmed that I wasn't lying or mistaken. She wanted it done at 36 weeks NOT 39 weeks. The baby is smaller and easier to move but big enough that if there are complications she would be able to survive the emergency c-section. Thankfully she went ahead and scheduled it so that way I don't have to go through all this again while she is on leave, she also discussed it with the doctor that will be doing it. So on April 4th at 7am I will be admitted to the hospital,have an NST done, hopefully given a spinal, it is up to the doctor if they do that or not, and then they will try to move her. Hopefully she will move and I won't end up in an emergency c-section. I will have to stay for a couple hours for them to monitor Hannah then get to head home. If it doesn't work we have the option of at 39 weeks coming back in and trying again. If it works they will go ahead and deliver her regularly at that point and if it doesn't work go ahead and a c-sec at that point. I truthfully don't think we will make it to that point though since in the past I usually go naturally into labor during the 38 week mark.

Our plan right now though is that she will be moved on the 4th, it will work and we will leave. Then on the 25th of April, when I am 39 weeks, go in and be induced and have her naturally. Again though I put money on me going into labor before the 25th. It feels so nice though to have a "plan" set. I hate the unknown and even though I know we could easily falter off that plan it still feels good to have something somewhat planned, lol. So yesterday we left with answers and less confusion, which was so nice, lol.

Today I go in for my 2nd NST of the week, every week I go every Monday and Thursday. Hopefully it is a normal NST where the doctor looks over it says everything is good and I go home, lol. I don't think I can handle any more confusion or surprises this week!
