Today I had an OB appt and my doctor did a quick sono just to make sure everything looked on track. I am happy to report, there is exactly ONE baby, that measures right on for dates(7wks, 1 day) and had a nice happy heart rate of 129 beats per minute. Apparently, God does only give us what we can handle. If I had found out we were expecting more than one, I would have surely stroked out on the table. LOL!
I was supposed to have allergy testing on Thursday. I didn't know I was pregnant when I had the severe reaction on Christmas Day. Interestingly, the only two major reactions I have ever had that required emergency medical treatment due to facial swelling and difficulty breathing, were during pregnancy(the current one and Gavin's). I called my allergist to reschedule testing for late in March after I see the high risk perinatologist(just a precaution after my last pregnancy with preterm labor). The allergy center informed me that since I am pregnant, I am not eligible for testing, or shots!
Plan B...I will start on daily Allergra and the Epipen will be my best friend for the rest of this pregnancy. I will have the testing ASAP after delivery. Honestly, I am just praying for a complication free pregnancy, without bedrest and a healthy term baby. I am hoping this time we can avoid being induced and see how I do with laboring, no epidural, without pitocin running. Don't get me wrong though...if need pain relief, I will get it!
Glad that everything is looking good and hooray for one! I don't think I could have handled more than one at a time either.
