NST

Went for my weekly NST on Tuesday. Still have a lot of fluid. I asked the nurse how much more do I have than a normal pregnancy. She said normal is considered anywhere from 5-20 centimeters of amniotic fluid, and I have 29! Jeesh! She said "thats not a lake in there, baby has her own ocean". I really liked this woman, it was as if she really felt my pain, and understood. She said "Aw honey, I hope everyone feels sorry sorry for you, you must be in so much agony, theres no faking it, thats a big belly and its all fluid, you must be so uncomfortable". Most people make me feel like a circus freak when they gasp and say "are you sure there's just one in there?" Makes me want to slap them upside the head and scream "Im really not overeating!" As if I need to defend myself to anyone. People think they are being funny, but really its so offensive. Anyway, as I said before having so much fluid puts me at risk for premature labor because their is so much pressure on my uterus, it mistakenly thinks Im farther along than I really am. The good news is that as soon as my water brakes, Im just going to deflate! I have my C section scheduled and in less than a month she will be here! I think I will end up going on my own before my section date anyway. Im so ready to be done! Stay tuned!
