My hormones and emotions seem to be out of control these days. My mood goes from one end of the spectrum to the other, in the matter of minutes. So, I go from feeling great and like I can handle anything that is coming my way, to not knowing what in the world to do or which direction to turn. Thank you, pregnancy!
I had my first appointment of the week today. Last week, everything looked fairly stable. Well, things change quickly! My doc confirmed that I have cholestasis. My bile acid levels have jumped quite a bit. In normal pregnancy, they are between 1 and 10. When they first checked mine, it was around 13.4... the last one came back in the 40s. From what I've read, if it gets above 100, they take the baby. She said it doesn't look like we'll make it to 37 weeks, and that 34 is our goal now. I'll be 31 weeks on Wednesday. My blood pressure is up and down. We'll wait to see what the specialist says and to see if it gets to a point where it stays up before we try meds, because that could affect the baby's measurements.
Tanya said that it's not enough to admit me today, and as long as my labs don't come back showing anything crazy, we'll see what the specialist says on Thursday, and see where we stand on Monday. It's literally a day by day process now.
On a happy note, here's a few pictures of my sweet Tristan!
Kissing his biceps:
All that working out makes him tired:
Oh, how I love my sweet boy!
