Light Bed Rest!

Yes on Feb 12 I went to see my ultrasound specialist for a follow up.  (my doctor sends all of her patients to a specialist to make sure that things are going well) Anyway, after waiting in the waiting room for about 3o minutes Maurice and I walked into the dark ultrasound room.  

I laid on the table and the assistant up the warm gel on my stomach. They gave me my glasses. (the glasses are basically so I can see close up of what is on the screen. Super High tech.) 

So he does the measuring of her and they are doing there doctor talk back and forth. Then I kept hearing the word "abnormal." Tears start to roll down my eyes. Maurice touches my arm because he hearing what I hear. I ask the doctor is everything ok. He says that he will explain after the exam is over. So everything is going through my head. My tears pick up because I just want her to be healthy.

After the exam. He tells me that Skyla is not growing as fast as he would like her to be.  He said it is an easy and quick fix.  It is very common in small active women.  Basically he said he is catching it before it becomes a problem.

I was told BED REST. This scared me because I am not ready for her to come so if I am on bedrest I can not get things together. Then he explained the type of bedrest. I am on limited bedrest which means I have to lay down for 2-3 hours everyday. I dont have to sleep if I dont want to just lay there.  But on my left side, which is also the side I can only sleep on. I can only turn onto my right for a short time. I need to ask why my left being that that is what every doctor, internet site, and friends that have had babies all say left. I know that on your back is very dangerous for me and the baby because blood is not flowing to either of us, but I dont know the left side thing. 

The resting is fine. Probably should be doing that anyway. I am willing to do what it take to make sure that she is healthy. 

Please keep us in your prayers.
