So, since I have gestational diabetes, SOME things work in my favor. One of them being that I get AT LEAST 1 more ultrasound to check for growth and fluid which means I get to see our little man. I start going every 2 weeks now and will have 2 appointments like this and then I go weekly. At my last appointment I learned I've gained 11lbs total, his heartbeat was in the 130s, and he's laying sideways at the moment, trying to work his way into the head down position. I've also started drinking the herbal tea my midwife recommended and will start Evening Primrose Oil capsules in the next few weeks. The awesome news is I get to meet my son NEXT MONTH! Yep, we're planning an October 29th induction since they want me pregnant no longer than 39 weeks. I have 52 days until he's here and I can hold him in my arms :) Unless of course he comes before then but I highly doubt it. He *should* get to come home on Halloween! This day is the one we plan on talking to our midwife about but if she can't do that day than we'll have to choose another but this day would work out the best, being that Andy could be home the longest (10 days). So, I guess I'm going to have 2 October babies unless something changes!!
For family, here is the hospital's visiting hours policy, taken from their page.
