NOT How I Had My Day Planned

Well, we had a little scare today! I went to the doctor today to make sure everything was OK after I tripped over a dumb cord yesterday! (Hardwood floors do nothing for shielding a fall). She hooked me up to a monitor and 20 mins. later came in and said I was going to the hospital. The baby's heartbeat had dropped really low and I was to go and get checked out. To make a long, boring story short, the baby and I are fine! I was hooked up to another monitor and given an ultrasound and they said everything looks great! So, no Baby Grissom will be entering the world today.
I do have a question...They said I'm at 34 1/2 weeks now! Am I not supposed to be moving further along and not behind? Does she not have to come out eventually?

Were you at St Francis today?! Sorry, I wasn't working today! (I fell out of the car when I was pregnant with the twins but never told them!!! ;) Glad you went in though so you could get checked out!
Maybe they are saying you are onl 34 1/2 weeks because of her measurements. Sounds like she might be a small baby. They shouldn't change your date this far into your pregnancy. They usually stick with the early ultrasound date! Hang in there!
By the way...have you switched to the OBGYN doc's yet?

I am glad everything is fine!!! She looks like she has chunky cheeks! Michael always measured small too; and he was VERY little! Believe me; it is great in the delivery room! I came home without a stitch and feeling GREAT!!

Do you want to come down and help me out? I am panicing! I feel like a new teacher!

Glad you are both ok! Sounds like you are combining both of my pregnancy scares into one. Remember when I was in the hospital with Meg? It was cause her heart rate was dropping too. And at least you didn't crack any bones in your fall like I did with Kaiden! That wasn't too helpful in the delivery room!
Meaghan measured small too and came one day before her due date. Your date is probably the same you just have a petite little gal!

I hope all goes well the rest of your pregnancy! I know what it's like going to the hospital and leaving still pregnant. I've been in the hospital 4 times with this pregnancy (not all baby related).

glad you are ok. you may not know me but i'm a great friend to Trisha!
Are they for sure sure that there is only one baby in there? What is that, that looks like 2 heads?! I am probably bonkers....(but that's the first thing I thought?:) hey, good luck with your pregnancy and hope it goes quickly!
