Hey girls,
i am now 34 weeks today, yay!!! I am in
the hospital though. I started spotting
wednesday. My dr's office did a sonogram
thurs. My cervix is really short and
totally funneling, with baby's head right
there. I asked to see a doc. And the
sono tech. Talked to the doc and he sent
me to triage. They hooked me up to the
toco and baby heart beat monitor, and I
was contracting. They gave me a shot and
pill of terbutaline, which helped the
contractions tremendously. The doc. On
call was in a c-section and was going to
send me home, 2 hours a way. I asked the
nurse to please check me b/f discharging
as the son. Tech. Didn't think things
looked good. She felt confident that I
was fine, but checked anyway. She
checked and said she couldn't send me w/o
the doc. Hours later the doc came in and
was also going to send me home with
terbutaline since the contractions
stopped. I asked her too to check me
since the nurse didn't think it was a good
exam. She checked me and said I couldn't
go anywhere. I am 1-2cm dialated (maybe
more, but she didn't want to push the
cerclage - stitch to keep me from
dialating.), 50% effaced, and the baby is
at a -1 station. They'll keep me here on
terb until I am 35 weeks unless the baby
comes before then. At that point,
they'll take the cerclage out and take me
off bedrest and see what happns.
I will only have my friend's laptop until
sun. Or mon., so after that it may be a
while before I can post. Look forward to
hearing from you all.

Aw it must suck being in hopsital. I know
the feeling. I had recurrent utis during
my pregnancies so I was in hospital for a
week or more each time hooked on a drip
and bored senseless. At least you know
that your baby will be here soon!
Don't worry i'm sure s/he will be fine.
I'd take this chance to just relax and
sleep as much as you can. You deserve it!
