Everything with the girls is good. There heartbeats were all strong, in the 140's and 130's. The didn't measure them this week, just checked heart beats, umbilical cord blood flow and amniotic fluid is the two sac's.The babies sure moved a lot. Baby A/Madelynn and Baby B/Claire were at the very bottom of my uterus and now Baby B is all the way at the top of my right rib cage, right where all the pain is that I am having, which I mentioned in my 25 Week post. So how she got from upside down in my lower left pelvis area to upwards in my right rib cage is beyond me. Baby C/Natalee is is laying across my top belly area with her feet right in Claire's face on the right. It is so funny, we couldn't get a picture of Claire without Natalee's feet in her face.
My blood pressure was good, weight was 152 lbs. I had the glucose test too, which all went fine. The drink was super easy to drink and just tasted like water with extra strong kool-aide in fruit punch flavor. I thought it would be a lot harder than it was but it didn't even make a difference in me. I got the call the next day and I passed! Whaaahoo!
However, the blood results once again confirmed that I am still "very" anemic now. Even though last time I was only "slightly" anemic, now I am apparently am "very". Interesting, so now I am to stop the OTC iron tablets and go on a prescription supplement. I was really surprised at this because I have been feeling ok, not nearly as bad as I was in the beginning with all the fainting episodes. I thought I was just weak and tired and worn-out from really being 37 weeks pregnant, isn't that expected...but I guess I will be feeling even better with more energy in the coming weeks. We will see.
When Dr. Pinkert came in, he checked my right side where I have been having all of the pain and found the gall stone in my gall bladder that we guess has been causing all the pain. Since Claire's head is pushing up against my large intestines, liver, and gall bladder, which is pushing against my rib cage and lungs...it's just a mess right there and the gall stone isn't helping. Of course there is nothing that they can do about it until after the babies are born, and it could just stay that one, or become larger, or become many more, which would probably make my gall bladder come out along with the babies. I could care less, I just don't want all the pain, but he assured me it is just going to get worse as the babies get larger and larger. Oh well, I am just glad that we know where the pain is coming from. So we will see, they will monitor it each time now too.
I know that it is not uncommon for pregnant women to get gall stones, but I honestly think that it's because I have been eating so many foods that I normally don't eat...well that I don't eat regularly and so much of. Fatty foods, whole milk, fried stuff...all stuff I would somewhat shy away of or eat a very small portion of once and awhile before I was pregnant but now, I eat as often as I would like. I know that has something to do with it.
Anyway, here are the few photos that were worth putting up. The rest are just blobs and way to hard to explain what is what and who is where.
