Dr. Campbell came in early to perform the ultrasound. I was extremely nervous.
The ultrasound found good fluid in Baby A's sac as well as Baby B's. This is great news! Both babies hearts were beating. He took measurements of the babies. Baby B is smaller. He checked a bunch of things that I didn't understand. Dr. Campbell seemed pleasantly surprised that Baby A had so much fluid, because if the membrane would have ruptured during the surgery, it would have been Baby A's sac. Lisa, Dr. Campbell, and I were relieved.
We don't know necessarily that the membrane is not ruptured but it is a good sign that Baby A's sac has lots of fluid. Following the ultrasound the nurses tested the urine around the catheter to see if it would turn the amniotic fluid swab test positive. It did!
Lisa continued to be uncomfortable most of the day with heavy contractions in the afternoon. She got lots of Terb and an increase in Mag.
She did have more clear liquid coming out of her and once again it turned the swab positive for amniotic fluid. :(
Dr. Campbell pointed out that every day after the surgery that the babies are inside and doing well is a major achievement. So today was a good day!
