Another check up today ended in labor and delivery......
Well I had another routine check up today. It started out pretty good, other then the fact that my contractions have not let up. It was decided that we would go ahead and up the dose on my medication and bring me down to 30 hours a week at work instead of 40. My belly is still measuring bigger, (I will take that as a good thing). Then she decided to check me to see what my cervix was up to. Well, it has started to soften so she sent me over to labor and delivery to get my cervix measured. At this point there was talk about possibly starting steroid shots to start to prepare the baby for a possible early delivery, oh and no more work.
So I got to go and sit in that cold delivery room (that you don't notice is so cold when you are IN labor) they hooked me up to be monitored. Contractions where still there, baby still doing good and being very active. The did a cervical ultra sound to measure my cervix and good news!!! My cervix is at a good length. So no chance of an early delivery in the next 2-3 weeks :) My cervix may be soft but since it is at a good length there isn't a need to start the steroid shots yet.
So for now I am still good to be at work but only at 30 hours a week. I just continue to ask for all your prayers. I would like it if when it's time for this little guy to come that when I get to go home from the hospital he will be able to come with me. I wish this could be a simple pregnancy (like it was with K.C.) but that doesn't seem to be an option. I can't control what my body decides to do but I can control my attitude. So I will continue to be hopeful and positive, things really could be much worse. God is in control!!
Love ya! Keeping you in my prayers!
