27 Week Dr. Appt.

My appt. went ok. I don't know too much more than I new before which is aggrivating (sp). My placenta did move but instead of the two lobes staying together they are in two different areas. One went anterior and one posterior. There is supposedly blood vessels connecting the two and they aren't sure where they are at. If they go underneath (by the cervix) or above or what. So, I have an appt. with a perinatologist on March 10 for another u/s to see where those are at and get his opinion on c-section/no c-section. If I don't they will still induce early and I'd be highly monitored and they could try and control where the placenta "ruptures" at. If they don't the dr. said Conner could bleed to death. Ok, that makes me a little nervous. But, if the peri. says stick with the c-section we will. They set me up for an amnio on April 27 and a c-section early April 29 (38wks gestation). After thinking about it, I think I'll see what the peri. says but still go with the c-section. I would feel better that way. If need be he can get Conner out faster and deal with the bleeders faster too. Instead of having an "oh, sh**" moment and having to wait for an emergance C-section, kwim? I'm sure the dr. will be ok with it.
The u/s went well. The u/s tech, whom I love, said that the reason I'm probably not feeling him too well is that he doesn't make to many grand motions, he just wiggles a bit a lot. I'll still be montioring his movements though, she just thought it would make me feel a little better. My bp was 110/68 which they said was good and I've gained 13lbs. so far. Oh, he weighed in at 2lbs. 9oz. today. Hopefully he doesn't get too huge by April. I want a baby not a toddler again. But, I'd still be ok with it as long as he's healthy. I think that's it. I go back again Friday for another non stress test. Nothing to big though.
