Our first hospital visit
On Tuesday Allie went in to the hospital for decreased fetal movement. They hooked her up to a fetal monitor that measured the babies movements, heartbeat, contractions and Allie's blood pressure. It turns out that she was having contractions and is even dilated a little bit. She was given a shot of terbutaline- it stopped the contractions for about an hour and then they came back. Another shot was given and we now have a prescription for the pill form. The baby's movement is fine, we found out the placenta is anterior which means in the front and that is why we do not feel her move as much- the thick placenta is covering the fattest part of Macie's body and her head is already down. The amniotic fluid looked good and after numerous tests everything else was good. Allie does have high blood pressure due to stress so she needs to destress as much as possible. So far no bed rest and please pray there won't be any bed rest and little Macie will wait at least 6 more weeks before coming out!
