Baby girl is still being stubborn. She doesn't want to move on command yet. Which concerns me. If I haven't felt movement in a while, like what I'm experiencing right now, I poke around and see if she will move. Last night and today she's being stubborn. I can feel some soft kicks every now and then, but nothing in response to my poking.
I don't blame her. I don't want to be poked either. But I like constant reassurance. I would also like Gene to start feeling kicks. Sometimes if I hold my hands on my belly for a while, eventually she will kick. I tried to get Gene to feel that last night, but she wouldn't move. I guess she was in a food coma.
I have to remind myself that everything looked good on Tuesday. I watched as the tech marked normal for all her anatomy. The heartbeat was good, 148bpm. I was also able to see that my placenta is now slightly anterior and down on the right. Which might be why I only feel movement over on the left.
I'll be 22 weeks on Monday. 2 weeks till V (viability) day. Really just one since I have access to a level one neonatal ICU. Some say 23 weeks can be viable. I work with children who have made early entries. I know they can survive. I don't think I'm concerned as much about pre term labor as and I am still birth.
I'm now counting down till the next appointment again. August 7. Just over three weeks away.
