Had a routine appointment yesterday with my MFM. I haven't been feeling well the last 24 hours, had a pounding headache and didn't want to eat/drink, so I was glad to be seeing her. The appointment became a bit of a blur..
First Part
Emerson measures on track and perfect. She's 1lb10z and in the 53rd percentile.
Amniotic fluid is more than on track and perfect.
Fetal heart rate is 148bpm, which is about where she stays.
then...
Second Part
My urine showed dehydration.
My bp was higher than normal.
My cervix, which typically measures 2.9cm was only measuring 2.0cm.
They did a swab for FFN and results were going to take 4 hours.
So, they hooked me up to the fetal monitor and Emerson was sounding great and it didn't show I was having contractions. But, because I was not feeling well and totally dehydrated, they sent me over to Sparrow Hospital to Labor & Delivery.
Once at Sparrow, they determined I wasn't having contractions, they pumped IV fluid into me, got the results back on the FFN (negative) and then sent me home with indochin and told me to take progesterone every night.
Fingers crossed this isn't an indication of preterm labor or a Hospital Best Rest in my future.
