I went to see the maternal fetal med specialist today. She wants me to have a 3 hour glucose test, fetal nonstress tests twice a week, and for me to do kick counts twice a day. I'll do the glucose test tomorrow and had my first NST today. Since the random glucose levels I've checked lately have all been under 100, I don't expect to have any problem passing the glucose test, but we'll see tomorrow for sure. If GD is causing the problem, then once we get my blood sugars regulated, we can expect the fluid levels to even out. If that's not it, there doesn't really seem to be any reason to think they'll go down. I have a follow-up appointment at the clinic on January 5th for another ultrasound to check for growth.
Since last Thursday, Isla has flipped back into breech position---there was a point over the weekend when I thought it felt like she did a complete somersault, guess I was right! She's also grown. Thursday she measured 5 pounds, 3 ounces. Today she measured 6 pounds. Of course there's a measure of error, but still, she's gonna be a big little girl!
She looks good though. Her cord formed as a 3 vessel but they could only see blood flow in 2. The doctor didn't seem especially concerned since I'll be monitored more closely anyway.
