Everything is going well here in hospital land. The doctor told me this morning that there was basically no protein in my urine, so I may just have gestational hypertension. My blood pressure has been good since I have been here though, so now the priority is monitoring the girls. They are doing NST's twice a day to monitor the babies' heartbeats.
The main concern now is the possibility of cord accidents, which has been a concern the entire pregnancy. If either of the babies' heartrate slows down too much while they are monitoring, it would be a sign of cord compression. If this happens, an emergency c-section will be performed to ensure the babies' safety.
As long as the heartrates are normal, as they have been, the babies will continue to cook for 13 more days. They have scheduled my c-section for the morning of December 17th. I guess we need to get to work on coming up with some middle names!
