My dr. sent me to a Perinatologist as the ultrasound technician thought there could be low amniotic fluid in the sacs last week. I saw the specialist today and she does think that Baby A (boy) does have low fluid and one the arteries in the umbilical cord had normal flow but the other looked like it had restricted flow, which could explain the low fluid. I basically was told I have this week to wrap up work and will be going to the dr twice a week now to monitor the babies through non-stress tests. Also, she recommended pool therapy. The goal is to keep the babies inside as long as possible. My doctor would like to get to 36 weeks (I'm a little over 33 now) and if things are still okay then get to the scheduled c-section date on 2/25. The babies are measuring 4lbs 9oz and 4lbs 5 oz. And, I don't have any signs of pre-term labor which is good.
I headed to Target today to get a swimming suit that would fit and then to the rec center. The rec center is about 2 or 3 miles from the house and has a therapy pool. The therapy pool is warmer than the regular pool and smaller. It felt really good once I got in the pool and floated around with a noodle.
