Update

Yesterday I went to B.C. Women's hospital for an ultrasound to determine if the Peace Arch technicians were correct in determining that my amniotic fluid was indeed low. And IT WAS! Baby Brolund is also thriving VERY well, the placenta is still working well and Baby B is getting great nutrition. The Dr. at Women's was incredible, he was informative and knowledgeable and very caring and reassuring. If it wasn't so difficult to get into Women's I would try to deliver there next time. The facility is definitely up to date and state of the art.

SO today I am going in for a NST (Non stress test) and a OCT (Oxytocin Challenge test) at 10:00 am. The Non stress test is a normal test and I have had 2 before. They basically just monitor the babies heartbeat and his movements as well as my blood pressure etc to make sure baby is doing okay in there. The OCT is done during the NST (I think, I had to look it up online) and I am given oxytocin to induce labor to see if the babies heart rate changes and if he could handle labor if I was to be induced. This I guess it for the Dr to determine whether I should be induced or go in for a c-section. And I am SO happy because my obstetrician is the one on call this weekend so I won't be subjected a) to a Dr I don't know and b) to another jerk!

That is the most recent news. The baby should be here either way some time this weekend, so the next time I blog I should be a MOMMY! Yeah!
