Fetal Assessment...

I'm back from my fetal assessment. Was hit with a few bombs while I was there.

My placenta has not moved at all. Which is a little disappointing but deep down I think I knew that it hadn't as I have been preparing myself for the c-section. The Perinatologist I had was new to the hospital which was nice. He had a personality (where the last one didn't at all) and showed me where the problem was.... its on the left side. He is very concerned with me having a scheduled birth at 39 weeks (which is 2 weeks from today - yes that was my csection date - lol). He is afraid of the possibility of me bleeding out before then. Here comes bomb #1... the hospital doesn't like to schedule a c-section before 39 weeks because of the baby's lungs not being fully mature before then. He asked if I would authorize an amnio to be done to check to see what stage her lungs are at. I said that we had discussed amnio with Genetics when I got pregnant, and if one had to be done, then I would do it.... I just didn't want to put the baby at risk. So I assuming it was going to be done in the next few days, I said ok.. no problem, not realizing that he meant right then and there. HOLY CRAP... I'm so not mentally prepared for this!! The Dr and I discussed what the risks to the baby are, and he said it was nothing like having one at 20 weeks, worst case scenerio my water could break or I could go into labor this afternoon or tonight. If that is it... then ok... lets do it.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, Adrian said it was very cool watching the needle go in on the u/s screen. Test results will hopefully be back this afternoon by 4:30pm, if not then tomorrow morning. Here is bomb #2... if the baby's lungs are mature enough, I'm having her this week... LIKE IN A FEW DAYS!! If not we will do the the amnio again next week (which to be honest isn't something I want to do again), and she will be here next week.
JEEEEEEPERS!!!!
Please pray that her lungs are mature enough and that we don't have to wait to long for her to be delivered and to get her out of danger!
Time to grab a bite to eat... I'm starving.
