Bake Baby Bake

February 21, 2006 at 1:37 pm · Filed under Life in general

The latest in the pregnancy saga…Last Sunday I began having contractions and ended up going to the Labor and Delivery unit. They hooked me up to figure out what was going on. I was contracting every 3-6 mins, so I was given 2 shots of tributiline to stop contractions. Then I was sent home and told to follow up with my doctor.

I saw my doctor yesterday and after evaluating the situation I have been put on modified bed rest. Our goal is to keep Carsten baking until 36 weeks, at least, if not 38 weeks. My next appointment is Monday and I will have an ultrasound at the same time.

Here are the stats:

1 1/2 cm dilated
50% effaced
cervix is anterior and soft
fundal height is 38 cm (or 38 weeks, so I am still measuring bigger in the outside)

I will update again after my appointment on Mon. Prayers would be appreciated.

    It’s hard to keep a good mama down, but you must take care of that little bambino. Hugs and prayers!

    I am 34 weeks and 5 days.

    I also just returned from Labor and Delivery and I am now on oral terbutaline (correct spelling, I think) every 4 hours round the clock for the next week.

    Prayers needed!
