Monday afternoon

For the past two days I had not been feeling well. Late Monday morning I was feeling really bad. I was very short of breath, having weird pains and bad acid reflux. The shortness of breath was really bothering me. I called the Doctor and they told me to go to the emergency room.
When I got to the emergency room they were too nervous to work with a pregnant lady so they sent me to the maternity ward. I was glad to be up there at least I knew they knew to worry about the baby too. I wasn't sure what was wrong but I knew they wouldn't miss anything.
After about four hours of being there all they could tell me was the following.... Little girl was up high, very high because of that I could not catch my breath. She is also either laying sideways or feet down which was causing my discomfort and weird pains. Because of all of these things it also caused my horrible acid reflux. Basically, by the time I left I felt better because I had laid down for a few hours. But there is really nothing anyone can do but let her get moved around into the right position and wait till she is ready to come out.
They are expecting her to be a big baby which also doesn't help. At my last ultrasound they said if they based the due date on what she was measuring they would move the due date up 3 weeks. However they feel that she is in NO danger so we came home. I have a follow up appt Thursday afternoon so we will see what they say. I have at least 7 weeks left before she would be okay. I am due in about 9 weeks.
In the hospital, she was moving around so much they couldn't keep the fetal monitor on her and had to keep adjusting plus she was kicking everything. The one nurse kept calling her a little rascal. It was cute. It brought a little humor to the afternoon. Other that that we are okay and just counting down the days. TTFN
