Text of the page (random words):
der dystocia shouldn t be a concern for us in other news culled from the medical community care of my referring physician dr google women of nordic descent i m half norwegian have ridiculously large hips in proportion to the kids they create they are the least at risk for cephalopelvic angst i think it s actually disproportion but angst sums it up better to me as the doc doing rounds put it to me last friday you don t want to push out a 5 kilo baby but if anyone could do it it would be you thus far no contractions or major news to speak of i am crampier basically it s feels like i have a really bad period i m feeling a lot more pressure in the general area and it feels as though the baby may have moved down a little further though i m not sure she is still kicking really well and very active at least someone enjoyed the 100 grams of sugar at 7 30 in the morning we re going for dinner with a couple friends at a new restaurant in modiin tonight it s a sushi noodle place called met su yan which means excellent in hebrew and should be very yummy after that assuming i m not too tired where does the energy go i d like to try and take a long walk after dark tonight to see if i can motivate my reluctant home seller to move on i gave my belly a tour of the would be nursery today in an attempt to show her how much nicer it would be to sleep in her crib instead of having my kidneys as a mobile above her bed but i m not sure she was listening she already shows a disturbingly acute ability to tune me out i was hoping she just liked the color navy blue like her mom and therefore was holding out to be born in september so she could have sapphire as her birthstone it could still be the case but perhaps she hasn t checked the calendar in there tomorrow morning it s back to the women s center for more monitoring and another scan i am still holding out for labor starting tonight no i have no good reason to suspect that it will and that she ll show up tomorrow afternoon the weird thing is that like all other issues you face in pregnancy you finally begin to accept this as the status quo she ll come when she comes it ll hurt as much as it will hurt and god willing we ll all come through it unscathed but it would be lovely if it could be tonight or tomorrow no 5 comments posted in uncategorized no news is well no news posted on august 31 2008 4 comments so i went for another appointment this morning i put on my best israeli attitude and attempted to be assertive it kind of sort of worked the 30 minutes of monitoring was fine good kicking and nice heart rates the urine dipstick was fine the scan was a little iffy not much water again but the more experienced ultrasound tech looked harder read pushed hard enough to see my spine and was able to find pockets of water amounting to 100 which is fine from there we dr savta and the hubby accompanied me consulted with the doc i was fortunate enough to get the doc who originally referred me to hadassah on that fateful thursday he was suprised they made me stay overnight and didn t do anything he seemed genuinely surprised and somewhat disappointed that they didn t at least do an internal exam he did an exam and agreed he would strip the membranes if i was dilated enough it went a little something like this dr you re not dilated enough to strip the membranes hold on i m going to try anyway kirby deep breaths dr okay now you re 1 cm dilated and i stripped them away a little bit edited to add just read over my info from the doc i m also 60 percent effaced not sure if that was pre or post strippage or if my cervix just saw the hand coming for it and was scared into submission either way it makes my bishop score a lot better and that means an induction would likely be more successful aside from the fact that my cervix appears to be located just south of my breastbone it wasn t that bad it wasn t fun but it was no worse than many of the other exams i had to get to where we are today we ll see if it has any effect so far nothing but no spotting yet either either way it certainly doesn t appear to have hurt anything i like to think of us at 10 percent of the way there the doc also gave me a referral for another glucose tolerance test tomorrow morning it s the 100 gram test instead of the 50 and we re doing it just to rule out late onset gestational diabetes since the kid is growing at an alarming rate okay not really alarming but let s just say how alarming has a lot to do with who is feeling the growth inside her my understanding is that if she s 4 kilo and i test positive for gd i get induced earlier otherwise they ll let me go to 4 5 it has something to do with shoulders i think the kind and loving dr savta even took us to breakfast afterward and our phones ring somewhat constantly it s a very good thing to know that so many folks are watching out for us for now it s off to take a nice warm shower to ease the back cramps pretty much constant now and then to rest in bed for a bit for the day s second 30 minute monitoring session i ll try and post tomorrow after the delightful glucose test 4 comments posted in third trimester are we there yet hurry up and wait posted on august 30 2008 3 comments first a few notes post your revised due date estimates in the post below and have a seat this is a long one hmm where to begin i don t have a very witty lead in so you ll just have to bear with me on thursday the hubby s 30th birthday we started the day with a trip to the women s center for monitoring this was my first official day of being overdue i spent 30 minutes or so on the monitor and had to eat a pear to wake the baby up then all was good after monitoring i had another scan for both growth and all that other stuff placental artery amniotic fluid index movement that was less good the water level was too low the baby is estimated at 3 8 kilograms which is roughly 8 4 pounds the doc in modiin issued a referral to the hospital hadassah ein kerem in jerusalem or not but that s another story he said that if it was up to him he would induce since i was past term we were quite certain of the conception date the water level was too low and it had dropped a lot in two days and the baby was getting quite big by 1 p m we found ourselves throwing together the rest of the stuff for the bag and getting on the road thanks to our lovely birth coach dr savta we checked in at 1 40 and then we waited we waited to be seen by a midwife who then referred us for another ultrasound to see if the baby had urinated she was swallowing fluid on the first scan earlier that morning so it was possible she had just drunk all the water but the one ultrasound tech was on break are you effing kidding me this is jerusalem do you know how many babies are born there everyday at this one hospital approx 25 so we went and had lunch we came back and had the scan the fluid level was 54 down from 123 two days earlier can t find the paperwork from the morning scan so i m not certain what that level was the tech said they would induce as there still wasn t enough fluid otherwise everything was fine while we were out there was a shift change we pleaded our case to the next midwife who put me on the monitor for another 30 minutes if the water was bad it was no harm to the baby she was kicking away happily and moving and all it also appeared that there were some small spikes on the tocography which measures contractions wonder of wonders the doc that had seen me at the clinic in modiin just 48 hours earlier happened to be on the crew that night at hadassah he wondered what had happened to all my water in 48 hours and suspected that i had had a small water break and subsequent leak and suggested they induce me for those of you keeping score at home that s two doctors in favor of induction now for the record it was about 5 or 6 p m by this point not exactly emergency medicine but we had the pleasure of consulting with another young doc and the midwife in israel midwives deliver the babies unless there are complications and their word is not taken lightly the young doc said i was borderline for induction he suggested an internal exam to see if there was an amniotic leak he called the midwife in to do the exam and she pretty much refused to do it and said there was no point now i m all good with midwives and all but since when does the doc not make the decisions and would there have been any harm in doing an exam which had been suggested that morning by the original doc i saw at the clinic in modiin yeah no exam the young and not so assertive doc caved he suggested i be admitted overnight for monitoring we took this to mean monitoring of the baby s heart rate and another ultrasound to see if the fluid levels changed in this case monitoring actually meant sleeping in a room with four other pregnant women on the gynecology ward as in a completely separate building from labor and delivery and having absolutely no one say so much as a word to me until the next morning for the record we did ask the midwife why i was being admitted if they weren t going to induce she said i was being admitted for induction and that i would be monitored throughout the night liar but they did put in an iv or not actually they just put in a 3 needle that they never attached anything to i have a lovely bruise and pain up into my bicep on my right arm for absolutely no reason for the record never let a doc do your iv they don t do them that often and they do them badly as a result so the good dr savta and the kind patient hubby helped me into my new room across the way and then the real learning experiences began first off and this i knew going into it your husband can t stay with you in an israeli hospital because all the rooms are shared and it s not really okay to ask the other women to let your husband sleep there i know this i am okay with this even if i don t particularly like it and wish there was another option so the hubby and i had a little time together while dr savta got dinner cause the poor woman hadn t eaten all day and a few tears were shed but we both put on our strong faces and tried to be courageous or something like that i got ready for bed and my buddies headed back to modiin for the night note to self remember to find out if you have missed dinner if you have make your friends fetch it for you before they leave and if it s 9 30 at night you have missed dinner jackass i did have my labor foods though granola bars and some fruit i ate a pear and a plum and had a granola bar or two and lots of water and called it a night except that the woman in the uh for lack of a better word room next door let s see what s behind curtain number two was in what proved to be early labor and her husband didn t leave nor did he understand that the rest of us were trying to sleep so he kept talking on the phone texting walking around moving the curtains sliding the chair across the floor and talking about me in french which they presumed i couldn t understand at some point people in this country will learn that just because you came from america and can t speak hebrew so well it doesn t mean you didn t study something in college i can t speak much french but i could understand most of what they were saying it was fun until about 11 30 after speaking to the hubby on the phone at 11 i really wanted to go to sleep and i was upset that while my husband had to go home her s didn t and it was a long stressful day that was tiring so i did the only thing you can at a time like that i buried my face in my towel so that the other women in the room wouldn t hear me and cried myself to sleep yeah good times i fell asleep shortly after midnight at 3 a m there was a huge crash and everyone woke up the hubby next door had knocked over the lunch tray thingee that swings out over your bed i m not sure if that scared the baby into labor but the mom sylvie was clearly in active labor and proceeded to share her um feelings if you will about it for three hours until they could get her a bed in labor and delivery note to self there ain t no epidurals on the gyno ward do not allow self to be admitted to there again so sylvie left around 6 which is when they begin rounds they put me on the monitor for half an hour and though there was the usual amount of activity the heart rates were much lower the baby usually starts at around 140 bpm and kicks it up to 160ish when she moves instead she was in the 115 range and never broke 140 for the duration despite the movement then the docs came for rounds the morning doc wasn t concerned about the heart rates as he said she was probably having the same stresses that i was and that it was still in the range of normal he was more concerned about how big she was and how fast she was growing he ordered another ultrasound to check for water and said that if the level was normal i could go home there was no reason to keep me throughout the weekend breakfast came at 8 a m most of it was identifiable some of it was even edible i swallowed a couple pieces of bread with jam and butter what must have amounted to 4 oz of coldish coffee with milk and some olives long story typical israeli breakfast is a salad of cucumber and tomato with tehina and olives and leben uh google it knowing that the hubby was on the way i skipped the veggies okay if the tomato had been less green than the cucumber i would have totally eaten it even more so if they had not been served whole with the dirt still on them and i m just not a fan of leben when i already have a sour stomach the hubby got there at 8 15ish and i practically did a happy dance he promptly fetched pastries from my favorite bakery upside the hospital has a mall attached to it and we ate he patiently sat in the chair next to me while i slept just having him there somehow made it all okay and i crashed until they came to take me for the ultrasound the ultrasound was crazy overnight the fluid levels went from 54 to 103 well within normal told i had plenty of water we finished the ultrasound around 9 30 a m we went back up to my curtained portion of room six and i slept some more at noon lunch was served if breakfast stank lunch made up for it yummy couscous and chicken and veggies with something resembling coleslaw and there was some watery sweet thing in a bowl dressing amniotic fluid not sure so i skipped it and soup salt flavor which may not sound great but it is way better than that other mass produced option non salt flavor i ate and finished the last of my fruit eight pieces in less than 24 hours take that five a day the kind hubby had brought additional clean clothes and i went to get changed and cleaned up a bit we packed up my bags and got ready for discharge the nice afternoon nurse came and told us i had to be readmitted through the er before they could discharge me since i was actually admitted to labor and
