NST



We had our non-stress test today and as predicted everything went perfectly well. They measured the fluid levels again and sent them to my doctor and we'll go over them on Friday. The fluid is still on the low side but one of the two pockets of fluid is right in front of the baby's face which is perfect and just what they want because it means the he/she is getting the chance to practice "breathing". He/she was responding just exactly as they wanted to contractions (i just thought that was gas...turn out no, they are light Braxton Hicks contractions) and is totally healthy. On a funny note Mr/Miss squirmy took an exceptionally long time settling down so we were there for a while trying to get a clear non-moving shot of the heartbeat (which had to be maintained for 30 minutes). All day long the wee bugger has been kicking and punching.
As of today the baby is still breech and thus we are still looking at a c-section but on an interesting note it has gone from Transverse Breech (bottom picture) to Frank Breech (top picture).
