This will get long.....Sorry!
SO I went today for my NST, API and BPP. I got there and my BP was high so they tried with a different cuff. Still high so they said well lets let you lay down for a bit with the NST monitor on and see after that. So I layed with the NST on for about an HOUR (holy cow it was forever) and Jorja passed with flying colors. She was a bit sleepy at first but woke up. After the NST, my BP came down a bit.
Then we went in for the amniotic fluid ultrasound. The tech couldn't find any!!!! So they did a growth us instead and Jorja is 5lbs 14 oz. right at 50%. Then she must have peed cause all of a sudden there was some fluid. The tech usually tells me the measurement but didnt and said doc would be in to look. In comes the doc and says the fluid is at 6.6 which is lower than we were at but still managable so they want to check my cervix. I am 1cm dilated and 50 % effaced.
My 24 hour urine came back with some protein, which could mean 3 things: 1.) pre-e, 2.) underlying kidney problems related to my diabetes (16 years being diabetic) 3.) not enough fluid urinated which could skew the results. So I go back tomorrow for another NST and they redrew the labs today to make sure it wasn't a lab error.
All in all....I will be delivering either later this week or next monday. They want to deliver before anything gets worse, which is fine by me cause I am already freaked something is wrong.
Thanks for reading.....it was long but man I had a long day! Hopefully we can make it till next monday and I will be 36 weeks!

I'm glad you made it through your appt today. I hope your labs come back normal and you continue to pass the NST, but I'm sorry about the amnio being low. I'll be praying that all is well with Jorja and that she can wait until Monday.

Nicki.....you know what freaks me out the most about the diabetes complications.....is that I have never had any test come back abnormal with my endo. I heard pregnancy is a "looking glass" into the future....not trying to take that so literal but man! I hope not!
Hope you an Madi are doing well....stay put for 2.5 weeks!

Good luck Carrie, and I hope everything goes OK and you hold out until Monday! Sounds like your Dr is doing everything for you so that is good. I am diabetic and have the same concerns, so I completely understand. Hopefully this is just your body and baby saying it is time to arrive!
