Both babies were staying on the monitors very nicely today. Baby A's HR was pretty regular, a few skips here and there. I'm now being monitored three times daily for two hours at a time.
I'm having daily ultrasounds to check for fetal distress. I asked the sonographer how they score the babies and she said they get two points each for movement, adequate fluid around each baby, flexion & tension (if the baby stretches or flexes and straightens any limb), and shows that he is practicing breathing. Both babies received an 8 out of 8 today so that's good! They watch for 30 minutes and each baby needs to "breathe" for 30 seconds straight during that time. Baby A took a long time to prove he was "breathing" but he did have the hiccups for part of the time so that could have been why.
