Went to the Doctor Friday,
and she took me off bedrest for the time being..YAY! But said "absolutely no hanky panky" I hope that doesn't last long.. Anyway, she did a test that could tell if I was going to have the baby in the next 3 weeks, I have to call Monday morning to get the test results back. Hopefully all will be fine and I won't have to worry for the rest of the time.
I just thought I would tell you that I did that during this pregnancy and just delivered (a week ago) a 38.5 week baby. Starting at 18 weeks I would have episodes lasting a day or two of regular (even 2-3 minutes apart), sometimes strong (but not breathtaking) contractions. Then a few days of not too many, but always there. They were never enough to dilate me until 35 weeks and then they gave me Brethine to stop them. I too was on restriction and no exercise, so maybe that helped. The funny thing is, my water ended up breaking and I had to have pitocin to induce and that still took 12 hours of good contractions before it did any good and she was born!! I hope you have the same fortune and go the full term. Just take it easy (at least it is an excuse for your dh to help out alot).
Glad you're off bedrest. Take it easy! Us "cyber-aunts" want a healthy baby! lol
I'm glad that you are off bedrest sweetie. Let us know what the doctor says on Monday. Cat~>I like that term "Cyber-Aunts".
Glad your off bed rest. Relax and enjoy waiting for your little one
