Bedside blogging, Day 11

Sorry for the lack of new posts lately, but not much has changed until today. Up until a few days ago everything was holding steady and my OB wanted me to make it to 32 weeks before we had to deliver (I am 31 weeks and 1 day today). So the daily NSTs (non stress tests - which monitors the babies' heart activity) and weekly ultrasounds continued. This week Evie has failed 3 out of 4 of her NSTs, which has resulted in ultrasounds to ensure everything was okay. So far the ultrasounds looked fine, with the exception of the reversal blood flow in her umbilical cord, which they have been seeing more consistently.
This morning a high risk OB came in to talk to me and said based on the fact that she's beginning to fail the NSTs and that they're seeing more persistent reversal flow, we may now be at the point where it's better to deliver than it is to keep them in. We're going to do another NST today and I also have an ultrasound scheduled - based on the results from those, we may be delivering as soon as today. Still, we've said that before, everything depends on the results of the tests today. We will keep you posted as we know more. Prayers are still appreciated!
