Update from my doctor
Well, I finally got to meet with my doctor! He is on rounds this weekend!! Lucky me! He finally answered a lot of questions I have had and helped me feel better about everything that is going on. He said that right now with my pressures and labs I do officially have mild pre-eclampsia and even though I feel good now, it can change pretty fast, so I won't be going home. The fact that I am having twins with both the pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes makes things a bit more complicated. So, he said to prepare myself for an early delivery. He said that he would be surprised to see me go to Friday, which is when we would be 37 weeks. We talked about the risks of them being born early, and he said at this point things should be fine, but of course he can't say for sure exactly how they will do when they get out. He did agree with my decision to deliver vaginally and we talked about the chance of having her vaginally and him by C-section...which is my fear. He said that while it can happen, I am not at any bigger risk even with him being breech, so we will just hope for the best. The nurse is here to check on the babies...I will finish later!
