On Friday I had my final ultrasound with the perinatalogist. Along with the beautiful sight of precious little toes and chubby cheeks, came the wonderful news that all is well. Both baby and I are healthy and show no signs of complications from the antibody I have. I am now over 36 weeks pregnant, and I don't need to see the perinatalogist again. Praise God!!! I really want to make it to at least 37 weeks (which is this Thursday) then the baby can come anytime. No signs of labour yet, so I don't think it will be a problem to make it to Thursday. :) With my medical history it seems like such a miracle that I will (probably) make it to term without complications. I am so thrilled. Especially when I think back to the initial diagnosis of the antibody, when we thought my care might get transferred to the women's hospital an hour away... and here I am, almost 37 weeks with a healthy baby in utero and no signs of the antibody. Thank you, Jesus!
It's also crazy to think that technically I could be pregnant for another month! Since Halle was born early (35 weeks) it already seems like I must be overdue... and I haven't even reached term yet (37 weeks).
I am still at risk of developing cholestasis, and will be until this baby is born. We'd appreciate your continued prayers that I remain healthy and my liver does too. :)
Praise God! We look forward to hearing news of Baby #3's arrival.
