Since the ECV, I go to the hospital twice a week for fetal monitoring to make sure she is still doing okay due to the short dip in heart rate during the ECV. For the fetal monitoring, I sit in a chair and hook up to a fetus heart-rate monitor and a contraction monitor. For a duration of 20 minutes, I count baby's movement with a Jeopardy-like clicker device that puts a tick mark on the fetal heart rate monitor so they can correlate the baby's movements with an increased heart rate. The room has four chairs to monitor up to four pregnant women at a time for various reasons. After the monitoring, I go to the next room and get an ultrasound to check on baby's position.
The latest ultrasound, I was able to see a bit of baby's face. Still not so clear, esp in the still image, but it was exciting to see her little face peaking out on the ultrasound.. asleep and peaceful. =)
Connie, has Ryan shown you a video of natural child birth? He sent me a video of achilles surgery before my surgery. It was so thoughtful! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell... I've seen a detailed video of a C-section. Does that count?
