Today is Caroline's angelversary. As if that weren't bad enough-- guess what else happened today? I got admitted to the freakin hospital because of the results of the NST and BPP that we had this morning. The baby's heart rate was high (170s baseline with accels to over 200), my fluid was low (5.7 normal is 5-25) and OH YEAH, they suspect the baby has his cord wrapped around his neck at least once (probably twice). I received one shot of steroids at about 12 today and will hopefully be able to receive the second dose at 12 tomorrow. The NST supposedly looks "great" now, but I don't agree-- although I'm not a L&D nurse, so I'm not sure, but it looks to me like the baby is having heart rate dips with every contraction.

The plan for now is to monitor me overnight, do another ultrasound in the morning. If the fluid is still low, they will deliver-- which undoubtedly means a NICU admission (33.5 weeks). If the fluid is normal, and the heartrate strip looks ok, they are going to SEND ME HOME????? UGH, I am just about totally freaked.

Any prayers or advice about this are greatly appreciated. I would also love to hear from anyone who has delivered at 33-34 weeks.
