PPROM and POLY

I just had my ultrasound for today. I still have too much amniotic fluid- last week it was 28 and this week it was 27. My cervix is still closed and long (30). The last time they checked my cervix it was 39. So far, everything is still looking good. I'm eagerly awaiting 35 weeks... I'm ready for Miss Wendy to be here (just not too soon because we want her as healthy as possible).

As for me, they started me on oral insulin twice a day and my blood sugar has been great since then. I'm getting tired of not eating sweets though! I love me some chocolate!

Ultrasound Tomorrow

This morning I woke up and had lost a lot of fluid. It was 4am and I called my nurse. She said it was normal, that once your membranes had ruptured that you could get a gush of fluid when the baby changed position. However, it scared me to death because I haven't lost anywhere near that amount of fluid the whole time I've been here. They scheduled an ultrasound for tomorrow to check to see how much fluid I have left.

Also, I'm starting oral insulin today. My blood sugar has been high at lunch for the past 2 days. This whole diabetes thing is irritating. I've never had a problem with my glucose before, so I hate dealing with this on top of worrying about Wendy and being stuck in the hospital. On the bright side, I am off IV antibiotics so my IV was taken out today! Woohoo! I can finally shower without having to have my arm/hand wrapped up.

I'll try to post the results of the ultrasound tomorrow. :)
