Once we got to the hospital they did determine I was having contractions and as close as 4 minutes apart at one point. They determined that the babies were safe and my cervix was not dilated (super hard to tell because I have a surgically placed band that prevents me from dilating) from what they could tell and I didn't need an emergency c-section. 34.3 week babies do great but if possible they wanted to keep them in a little longer. So the plan was to just wait and see what happens. I was either going to fully go into labor or my body was going to stop them. Well wouldn't you know... With a little help from medicine and iv fluids they slowed down. So back home I went and now I am literally just taking it day by day to see when these little ladies want to pull a fast one and enter the world. He said he would deliver me at 36, 37, or 38 weeks so I have just a tiny bit more to go....
I was not real happy the moment when the doctor told me they were just going to watch me and not deliver the babies... Hello contractions = pain and all they care about is the babies but not the mom. I toughed it out.... I had a natural labor with my 22.5 week delivery so it wasn't nearly as bad as that and I knew I would be fine.
So for the next week I am taking a medicine called procardia to hopefully help me get to 36 weeks. The only downfall of this medicine.... It's making me swell and makes me tired. The tired part I can live with, I can sleep to pass the time, but the swelling is annoying. In Jenn fashion here are some pictures from my week.
On a positive note we did have a growth scan and the girls are still growing! Baby A is 5.01 pounds and in the 23rd % and Baby B is 4.13 pounds and in the 15th %. So little but not small enough that they are worried about their growth!!
Pretending I don't really want this... Well kind of
Look closely... You see the crease. The beginning of cankles !!!
I didn't want my picture taken. Matt didn't care.
Growing belly and happy to go home!
