Docs Orders.

by Angie on April 22, 2008

So after a trip to Labor & Delivery yesterday and a follow up appt today - I am under strict orders to take it easy: “Pelvic Rest”, no exercising or exerting myself, and generally keeping my feet up. If you have ever had Braxton Hicks Contractions you know how annoying and uncomfortable they can be. Imagine having them every 5-15 minutes, regardless of rest or water consumption - sheesh! Good news is, Luke is just as active as ever, and his heart rate was steady in the 130s / 140s yesterday during the non-stress test. In fact, the Dr. commented that Luke’s readings are those of a 30 weeker, instead of the mere 26 weeks he is. I guess our little guy is already ahead of the game, ha ha. These orders are intact for the next 3.5 weeks -until my next appt… so till then we just pray that the BH do nothing to my cervix and Baby Luke can cook, cook, cook for the next 3 months! We appreciate your prayers as well : )
