Steroids and monitoring!

So we came to OHSU for our 2 week follow up to check bennett's fetal growth, dopplers and preform our non stress test.

The NST went well. He was showing them all signs of being a happy baby not in stress inside which is great!

We then went to our ultrasound where we found out he had only grown about 2 ounces in 2 weeks and he is still under 700 grams. (684) everything else seemed to be ok and he scored a 6/8.

Right after our US we met with Dr. Shaffer where he revealed that his dopplers didn't look so good. The blood flow was high. (Similar to how high blood pressure in an adult would be). High blood flow in his cord reveals resistance telling them that the placenta may be having a hard time keeping up with the demands and it will wear out. They don't know how long that could take place, 2 days maybe slowly over weeks time. So he felt it best to admit me, give me steroids and monitor Him for a few days and see how he is doing. The US also revealed that he is breech so if delivery were to happen, it would be a c-section. I am IV prepped and ready incase worse case senerio happened but so far all looks well

We are in Labor and Delivery and will wait further instruction. We are aware of all that can take place and as usual, The Lord has given us His amazing peace and strength. We understand our situation and want Bennett to be healthy whether that means inside or outside. Continued prayers for the Lords will at this time. We are once again grateful to our God for our amazing support system at home watching our other two girls!

I will continue to update while things progress. We will be meeting with the neonatologist and hopefully will have another tour and see a baby! (I pray to see a baby that is, I must mentally prepare myself for the cuteness soon to arrive)

Abundant blessings to you all!
