So yesterday I went in for a nonstress test on Emily because she wasn't moving much and it worried me. I drank OJ, ate pineapple, and had a donute and only 1 kick. Normally that would make her go crazy! So when I got to the Dr they did the usual checks and everything turned out good. But since she wasn't moving much and I was hurting they did the nonstress test which is what they do in triage. For the first 15 minutes no movements could be felt. I was supposed to push a button if I felt anything. And her heatbeat was steady between 138 - 143. That wasn't what the Dr wanted to see. So they had me eat a lollipop and drink some ice water. About 15 min later I had felt 6 movements and her heartbeat was all over the place and I felt 2 contractions. So that was much better. But since that was a sugar and cold reaction the Dr gave me the option of being induced. I jumped at it. I would love to have gone into labor on my own but it just isn't happening and I'm not guaranteed that it will. The longer she is in the more cramped she will be and the more I hurt. So tomorrow at 6am I will be induced in the hospital and if it goes like it did with Elizabeth we will have our Emily by noon.
I'm very excited! (And not including how much she weighs I've only gained 28 lbs) So wish us luck that we have a fast delivery. We will keep you posted.
