Just got back from today's appt... it went amazingly fast, no wait today (you never know what will happen!)
During the ultrasound today, they checked for lung motion (preview of breathing skills?) and fluid around the babies. No growth measurements. It is always interesting, you never know what you're getting...
Did the non-stress test again (machine was there & ready, even before my appt time). I had to have a coke as the babies were sleeping to get some movement activity, but everything was fine.
Anyhow, Dr. Tate thought it was very possible I could make it to 38 weeks (Nov 18). And the only way she'd move things up is if something changes (fluid/non-stress test indicators/movement/etc). They said I was smiling too much to be in too much misery... darn.
Ah well, remembering it is all for the best. Once you make it to this point, you are over the long term health issues, but if you can make to 37-38 weeks, the other "smaller" issues such as jaundice/eating problems/sleeping all improve.
