Not going anywhere anytime soon...

So my group of doctors met about my case earlier this week, and felt like with the relatively unknown risks of a monoamniotic pregnancy after losing one baby, in addition to the low amniotic fluid, that they are not comfortable with me going home for outpatient monitoring.

Apart from the fluid level, which they are concerned about but not sure why it's happening, the baby seems to be doing well. So they aren't too nervous, just watchful.

Our plan for now is to continue having an ultrasound with a Biophysical Profile (BPP) every Monday, a 20 minute heart monitoring session every morning, and 1 hour heart monitoring session every night. We'll also have a growth scan about every 3 weeks.

Here is a site that has a description of amniotic fluid and the biophysical profile in case anyone is interested:

The fluid level at the last two ultrasounds has been around 5.6 or 5.7. Normal is between 8 and 18. She doesn't necessarily have room to make big movements anymore - especially because Bridget is still taking up some of the room, but she is still kicking and being active which is great.

I'll keep you all posted!
