So I went into my doctor's appointment for a regular check up last Thursday, and I guess my stomach measured the same as two weeks prior. So she told me to go get an ultrasound just to make sure the baby was still growing and that there was enough fluid around the baby. I went in that afternoon and found out that the baby was growing fine, but the fluid in my uterus was a little low. The normal range is 10-20 and my fluid was measuring at a 9. Not that low, so I thought that as long as it didn't go lower I would be fine with just five weeks to go.
I was a little surprised on Friday when the doctor's office called and said that I had to be on bed rest this weekend while drinking lots and lots of water. They think that my fluids were low due to dehydration which was probably worse because I was sick this last week too. So between my bed and the couch, I have been the laziest I have ever been in my life and it is driving me crazy! I go back in tomorrow for another ultrasound to see if the fluid amount has gone up at all and hopefully it has. I don't know if I can take much more of this! But I guess I should be a little grateful for the down time, with this second little guy coming, I'm not sure when I will get another chance to just lay around and do nothing!
