My 34 Week Doctor Appointment

I had my 34 week NST and doctor appointment today.
The NST went great - baby was active and I had a couple of extremely mild contractions. Addy was so good, as usual :)
After the NST I had the appt. with the doctor, actually the doctor was gone to a conference so I saw his resident.
My blood pressure was good - 118/74. My weight was okay - I haven't gained any since my last visit. However - there was some glucose in my urine. The only explaination the doctor had was that my sugars weren't under control; but they are - they average 78!
She asked me how I wanted to deliver. I told her that I was not adamant on doing it either way. I was actually fearful of a vaginal delivery with Addy but I was going to attempt a VBAC this time. The more we talked and reviewed Addy's labor and delivery we decided it was probably best to deliver via c-section again.
I had a very hard time trying to have a vaginal delivery with Addy.
I was admitted for induction with her at 35 weeks because her fluid was low and she was not reactive during the NST's. The induction was started Friday evening of Labor Day Weekened 2007. 52 hours of labor, three types of induction methods and I never progressed past 3 cm.
She was born via c-section very late Sunday night.

So the plan is to:
1) stop taking my once daily Innohep blood thinner injections when they run out within the week and start my twice daily Heparin injections at that point.
2) Have NST's on:
Mon. 01/25/10 8:45am (34.5 weeks)
Thu. 01/28/10 8:45am (35.0 weeks)
Mon. 02/01/10 8:45am (35.5 weeks)
Thu. 02/04/10 8:45am (36 week dr. appt to follow)
3) Growth and AFI (amniotic fluid index) ultrasound and amniocentesis on:
Mon. 02/08/10 2:00pm
4) NST on:
Mon. 02/08/10 3:00pm

If the amniocentesis comes back that his lungs are mature I will deliver either Wed. 02/10/10 or Thu. 02/11/10 !!!
