37 weeks!
Ive been feeling pretty dang good! Up until a few days ago...I started to feel crappy, ms-wise and had some appts today...
My Neurologist said its defo an exacerbation but w/out running a slew of tests (MRI etc) its hard to say how bad it is. He would like to see me delivered as he is really not comfy giving me my steroid treatment...
Fast forward to my OB appt and he said I could have the baby today. bleh. YAY. Very mixed emotions. Everything is perfect pregnancy wise, b/p, weight, etc, did a quick sonogram to make sure Gabby is still head down (she is) and internal (my cervix is crappy, his exact words lol)
"They" said they would consider doing a LOW dose treatment of steroids for my MS but there is no promise it will help right now. There is very little risk to me having Gabby as of Friday since I will be 37 weeks. So...my options are:
*wait it out and see if it gets progressively worse (my OB is particularly concerned about this, as am I)
*have a low dose steroid treatment in the hopes that it alleviates some of what is going on (concerned here about baby's reaction...)
*call OB back and tell him I will take induction and choose a date (cervadil then pitocin)
So...lots of thinking to do now I guess. David is supportive of any choice I make. Im scared =/
