Well, I said the good, the bad and the ugly, so here comes ugly.
I was referred to fetal assessment because of a possible cyst on the baby's pelvis. That wasn't visible. Yay. But after 4 people ultrasounding me, and nearly 2 hours, they all come in to tell me that there's hardly any amniotic fluid around the baby and it's likely that I will miscarry. The way they worded it was even more definite than that but I'm not going there. I started bawling and totally freaking out. I mean, this is probably my only shot and to lose this baby will devastate me and my b/f.
I came home and immediately got on the computer looking things up. Apparently that drinking tons and tons and tons of water can increase the levels of amniotic fluid, especially since that's mostly what it's made up of at this point. There was also something about lying on your left side, which sounds ridiculous, but I'm willing to try it.
So, I'm trying to convince myself that in two weeks, not only will I not have miscarried, but my fluid levels will be back up and my baby will be jumping around like crazy again.
I appreciate in advance the thoughts and good wishes I'll get from my friends who read this, but could you hold off on them for a couple of days please? I'm going to have a hard enough time keeping it together at work today. Love you guys.
