Baby Updates!

I forgot to post this last week so here's that one-
So that took forever! I was there for over 2 hours!! i had my US. The baby is only measuring 34 6/7 weeks so she seems to not be growing in the last month? Her legs are short which they said is only a sign of downs if they were short at the 18 week and they weren't. Luckily she isn't below 10th % or they would have to induce to get her out next week. I asked if her being small is a sign of anything or if it's normal since my other 2 are small too. She said I could have small vessels but being small puts her at a greater risk for health problems or dying.....she has a great way with words doesn't she? lol She's measuring at 6lbs 11oz which is bigger than either boy was so I'm not worried but who knows. Then she said "lets see if she's coming out on her own or if we have to force her" then checked me.....and man was it brutal!!! I'm pretty sure she was trying to put me into labor with that check!! She said she doesn't look like she's coming out soon so I'm guessing there was no dialation or anything. Then she decided to send me for a nst which i guess was fine. lol I don't ask questions as often as I should.... I have to go back for a nst once a week until i have her but on different days than my dr so they can monitor the baby twice a week. I just hope she doesn't try to induce! So really I know nothing more than I did other than I have another small baby! lol

And the update from Mondays apt-
I went in for another nstand I was there for about an hour. The baby wouldn't calm down and her heart kept racing and then going down so I had to stay hooked up until she calmed down enough to get a good read. The fluid levels are at 13.8 which is ok since normal is between 10 and 20. I have my regular Dr apt on Thursday and then I go back for another nst so we'll see what they say then!
