Pregnancy Week 29
I went in for my first appointment at the new perinatologist's today. They were very nice, and although I didn't actually meet the peri (he was out by the time I FINALLY got done!) I really liked it there. That's the good news.
Bad news: I had a non stress test and Lily did not look good. Her baseline heartrate has been right about 150 (148-152) every NST, including the one I had just four days ago. Today her baseline was 130, with one decelleration going as low as 117. The nurse speculated she could have hit her cord or something to cause the decel, but at any rate, she did not pass, after an hour on the monitor. The nurse kept saying, "Let's wait a little longer and see if we can get her to wake up" but I think we both knew she WAS awake and was moving; it wasn't a resting heartrate. The ultrasound looked good, as far as I could tell, but I am waiting for a call from my OB to confirm that everything looked good that way.
I talked to my doctor's scheduler a few minutes ago, and they want me to come back in tomorrow and repeat the non stress test and try to figure out what is going on. I am struggling. The history of Jaime going into distress at week 29, and Tirzah's heart stopping at 23 weeks, both without a diagnosed cause, is leaving me fighting to give this child to God and trust in His perfect plan.
Anyway please pray as we go back in to the hospital tomorrow. I'll update when I can. Thank you!
Is. 43:1 ¶ But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine!
Is. 43:2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.
Is. 43:3 “For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.
Is. 43:4 “Since you are precious in My sight, Since you are honored and I love you
