My appt today

Everything overall went well.

The babies are doing fine, they had all their measurements done. It looks like Baby B is still a girl!! Baby A is approx. 1.26lbs and Baby B is 1.05lbs. She is definitely smaller but nothing to worry about says Dr. Amniotic fluid and all organs look fine!

As for me - unfortunately it looks like the contractions I was having did take a little bit of a toll. My cervical length has gone down from over 4cm to 3.6 and I am starting to show some signs of funneling.

He has put me on bedrest for a week and wants to see me back next Friday for another checkup before I get any ideas about going back to work.

Got into trouble big time for going into work yesterday even for 4 hours when he told me to stay off my feet. And I was supposed to be on half days but once I get into work I find it so hard to leave. *sigh* I just feel so guilty. Anyway, I'll have to get over it. Healthy babies are the most important thing.

He also wants me to have steriod shots at 24 weeks to cover our bases, just in case. I do love my Dr. he is so proactive. ( I already had the cerclage put in just in case and boy am I glad its there).

We don't have peri's here or MFM's so its good to know he is going above and beyond the average care.

Good that the babies look fine. Sorry to hear you are having contractions. I hope they stop! Take care of yourself!!

 

Glad to hear the babies are doing well. Sorry to hear about your cervical changes. Please try to remember work is 'just' work and you definitely want to follow your docs orders. It does sound like you are getting fantastic care but you have to follow instructions for them to work. The alternative is really unthinkable so please try to take it easy!

 

Sorry to hear about your cervix getting shorter and funneling. I also had this begin to happen to me at the end of my 23rd week and was put on bedrest at that time. I also had the steroid shots at 24 weeks. I am now at the end of my 34th week and the bedrest has paid off.

I have finally been allowed to get up and do more around the house as of this week since we have made it this far, but not allowed to go back to work. I figured doing lots of housework, etc. would put me into labor right away. Boy, was that guess wrong! No signs of labor so far. I am guessing my girls are now going to get stubborn and make me wait to meet them until my C-section scheduled for 38 weeks.

I know it is hard and frustrating, but try to follow doctor's orders on the bedrest. It has worked for me and I know my girls will be born much healthier now than had they been born 10 weeks ago.

 

congrats on a good appt, even if there are cervical changes. Just stay in bed a keep growing! You can do it!!
