Biophysical Profile - BPP Test

More about the test I had done today.,,

Biophysical Profile aka BPP Test
The Ultrasound Tech gives your baby at least 30 minutes for this test. To pass each one of the test. They check the babies movement, breathing, muscle tone, heart rate and they measure your amniotic fluid.

For the breathing, the ultrasound tech will probably ask you to hold your breathe so that she can see if the baby does what is called "practice breathing" which just shows once the babies born they will know how to start breathing on their own.

Movement - They'll watch to see if the baby will move at least 2 times.

Muscle tone - she'll watch to see if the baby will flex his/her limbs and they look to see if he/she will move his/her hands. (he waved at me) awww (lol)


Heart rate - just like they do at any other visit. She's just looking to see where your babys heart rate is & If at one point in that 30 minutes It'll go up.

Amniotic Fluid - checks the fluid around your baby.

I know some of you who keep in touch with me on here, aren't as far along as I'am. So instead of you all having to do the research on your own about it. I decided to go ahead and tell you all what it is. :)

If I go into labor before Sunday (crosses fingers) Next post will be pictures of my lil' man! :D & Of course if I happen to be induced next week you'll see a post from me then :)

Take care until then.
Talk to you all soon,

Keep in touch

Anyday Now....

Today at my appointment I had a Biophysical Profile done on Donovian. & He passed (I'll ellaborate more in another post) After I had that done. They checked to see If I had dilated any. Im only dilated to one right now :/ (lame) lol! With that being said. Sunday night I'll be given Cerdivil to ripen my cervix (this is ONLY if I don't go into labor on my own) Then Monday I will be given pitocin (again, that is if I don't go into labor on my own lol)

So the way it's looking. I'll either have him Monday orrrr hopefully he'll come before then. I know not everyone who has been induced has had luck with a vaginal birth and alot of times end up having to get a c-section :/. Which at the end of the day when it all comes down to it. If I have to have a c-secion done, hey... It has to be done. But of course I'd rather not take that route.

Just a matter of time ! A bit nervous :/ Though


READ MY BLOG FOLLOWING THIS ONE TO READ MORE ABOUT THE BIOPHYSICAL PROFILE AND WHAT IT CONSIST OF.

A True story - Just Venting

Just a lil' something the immature "women" and dead beat fathers can DWELL on. READ UP.

If you didn't know already. Not like It makes a difference anyhow. Seeing how I'am estatic to become a first time Mother. My pregnancy was unplanned. While It may seem weird I shared that. There's a really touchy reason why I did.

Not too long ago, I had a conversation with a young lady whom is actually TRYING to get pregnant and has had no luck with doing so in a while.

The moral of this whole "story" is. There are women/men who CAN NOT have kids and or are TRYING to have kids and will not EVER be able to do so. The fact that she's soo determined to have a child & I got pregnant when I LEAST expected to. It makes me THANKFUL, and it also reminds me how blessed I have been to be able to carry my one and only child Donovian.

To some you look at it as, "oh, such and such is pregnant now" But, It's more to the word "pregnant". You all use it like It's a BAD thing. As women, Pregnancy allows us to carry a PERSON, within our bodies. Doesn't sound like much to those who don't have children. & It won't, until they've felt a hand, or a foot, or a hiccup come from their body. They are apart of US. Whether it be by your husband, fiance', ex husband, ex fiance', ex bf, bestfriend WHATEVER.

Both MEN/WOMEN, Instead of making negative comments & acting as if having a child is the WORSE thing in the world. (I can respect those who aren't ready just to throw that in there) But, I feel like pregnant women. Are not appreciated enough! I understand, MOST feel like you should be married when you have kids by someone. But just in case some forgot. It doesn't always happen that way sometimes. (hence I had a ring on my finger at one point while being with Donovian's father) & It's not like we wouldn't want it to be that way.


Yet, ALOT of pregnant women have to take the HEAT simply because they're not at a the "appropriate" age, or not married. Whatever the reason would be for the hypocrital type folks Im talking about. AGAIN.... there are men/women who CAN NOT have kids. So you should learn to be a little more SENSITIVE when it comes to talking about pregnancy. Because, people can be extremely RUDE and hurt others feelings when "expressing" themselves about PREGNANCY.

To the men, Especially Donovian's father. Who want to ACT like a "man" in BED then leave when it's time to MAKE IT UP & MAN UP. hmm, Im a STRONG believer in KARMA. Not only that. YOU have missed out on YOUR BLESSING. Believe it or not. (sarcasm)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE TO DEADBEATS:
Chasing after women allll day. Whether it be on twitter facebook wherever, whenever. Remember, your child? The person you created. The lil' person who has YOUR blood pumping through their veins, YOUR DNA, has YOUR personality traits, YOUR looks. Yet, you choose to be more committed to someone you JUST met over the internet/in person. Over BLOOD? Then sit & call us the most disrespectful (in my opinion) name of all times. "baby mama" that's not what we were in the beginning. Not to mention you all like to add the word "crazy" in front of it. Simply because you don't want to be HONEST and tell these girls how you really feel about the Mother of your child. But It's allll good :)

You're worthless . . . . . . . .
#thatisall

oh! & Im blessed ;)

P.S. I will be raising my son to be a MAN. We're lacking a handful.
IM DONE

39 Weeks!

At this point, I don't think Donovian wants to come this month. LOL! I mean, I've been only a FINGERTIP, for 3 weeks now? He's in head down position, they can feel his head and EVERYTHING. So what's the DEAL, right? I know people say boys can be "stubborn" when it gets closer to their due date. But geeeezzz! Im ready, along with the rest of my family! It's like he's intetionally taking his time.


I also, had another ultrasound done again, today. Which if your a "regular" lol & read my blogs every week you'll know I had one two weeks ago to check on the fluid around him. It was 9 then, but now it's at 10 which is still according to them on the "lower end of normal, but enough" Sooo, yeah. & If you haven't read that particular post yet. The NORM is between 7-20. & like I said, Im at 10 now. So, you get the idea.


My due date is next Monday. Soo, either he'll come before then, that day (May 30th) or I have another appt already scheduled the following day. To see what's going on. Not like I'll be induced, because typically alot of women don't have their FIRST baby on the official "due date" & Like alot of you all know. Babies can come anywhere between 39-41 weeks. In that case, maybe THEN, yes I'd have to be induced. They give the baby about a week or so after your due date. Before making that decision. Which I PRAYYYYY, I don't have to be induced. Natural labor is probably enough, I would not like to see what's it like to be FORCED. :/


Well, that's my appointment all wrapped up in other things. Hopefully he'll stop being so STUBBORN, & give my body the GREEN light to go to the hospital. LOL! Because I've enjoyed my pregnancy, up until this point, It's VERY uncomfortable & frustrating now. (swelling, headaches, no sleep, frequent bathroom breaks, false labor pains) You get the point. Plus, Im ready to meet my lil man :))

Hope all is well!
Let's see how this week and next week goes! The time is getting closer!!

"False Alarm" Take one

Soo, Friday at around 9ish. I noticed Donovian had not moved for a few hours or so. Which, alot of times means his lil self is just sleeping. BUT! Because this time it was longer than usual & I had JUST got done eating and that's when I'd usually feel him more, if not hiccup for about 20-30 minutes. I called my midwife who happened to be on call that night (Thank god) & She had me come into the hospital and I was hooked up to the monitor for about a half hour or so. (checking for contractions and checking his heart rate) As always he showed off. & Soon as she checked to see If I was dilated?? HE LOSSTTT IT! Heart rate shot up ino the 150's. (that woke him up) LOL!



Sooo, I wasn't dilating. Had a few REALLY really small contractions though. (not fun) But it was nothing, to the point where I had to stay obviously. I honestly wish I would've went into labor that night though. I was scared, but excited at the same time. False alarms SUCK :( But, I'm glad everything was okay with my lil' guy. That's MOST important. I guess that chilli dog I had put him in a DEEP sleep. LOL!

Talk to you all soon!!

38 week Visit! (My dilating point) :)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ My belly has dropped :))

It's been that way for some weeks now. He's WAYYY way down now. So far down, Im schedule to have ANOTHER ultrasound next week because my belly is still measuring small (which is simply from him moving further down) & They also want to check on the fluid around him, again. If you read my recent post I told you what was a GOOD amount in terms of fluid around the baby. Like I said in that post, If the fluid is NOT enough they will induce me.

Other than that, while getting my. You know exam, LOL The nurse told me "It has started" So I'am starting to dilate. She said only a FINGERTIP, so that's NOT much right now. But, I'am expecting to have him sometime before this weekend if not. The following week after. Or of course whenever HE'S rready. He's in charge right now. (LOL)

Talk to you all Next Week!

Keep in touch,

37 week Visit

Sooo, while I thought today would be a regular check-up. I ended up getting an ultrasound. My nurse said I was measuring 34 when I should've been measuring 37. After the ultrasound, they said everything was okay. He just has moved futher down, leaving alot of room up top of my belly. As of right now, like I said in my last post. He's still measuring about 6lbs 1oz/6lbs 2oz.

They also checked to see if he had enough amniotic fluid around him. He has JUST enough. But if the fluid is to get below 7, Im at 9 right now (It should be anywhere between 7-20) Then they will have to induce me. Im praying on that part, things will go right. Either way if I have him between now or 39-41 weeks. Today (at 37 weeks) he is considered "full term". So If he is to come anyday now, everything will be OK.


Last but not least. I haven't said much about my dilation. Mainly because at 35 weeks. Which was the first time they checked to see If I had dilated I wasn't. Today I was scheduled to see If I was dilated. But, after the ultrasound, they gave me the okay to just leave. I will however, next week be checked to see If I have dilated any. I'll defintely let you all know what is said. I got my lab results back from the Group B streptococcus test I had done. It came back negative. So everything is everything. Moving right along :)


Talk to you all next week!

9 Months! The GOOD and all the BAD (lol)

So now that my visits will be EVERY week until what is supposed to be my due date. Which is May 30th, I won't be posting anymore videos on YouTube until my lil' man is here. Out of all the visits. These are the most..... um. Uncomfortable. LOL! They pretty much measure my belly :), listen to Donovian's heartbeat and yeah. The other part, (lol) check to see if Im dilated. Whoever said it doesn't HURT, lied! But hey! If you can take that pain, more power to ya! (lol) As Of last weeks visit. Im not dilated at ALL. Just by measuring me they were able to tell me about how many pounds he is. As of right now he is about 6 pounds.

So, Just stay tuned on HERE, every week to get an update on my progress. (Starting Monday) --To answer everyone's questions about how I've been feeling. Although the swelling in my face has gone down a bit. My feet still swell, my back hurts, my feet hurt, & Let's not leave out the infamous braxton hicks. LOL So yeah, IM GREAT! hahaha. I do alot of walking and getting out of the house. Anything to help speed up the process at this point!

Talk to you all soon!

Take Care,
