As some of you may have read I went in to L&D on Monday night as I was having contractions 2 mins apart. Contractions died down by the time we got there and so I was sent home to rest. While there I was 1CM and 50 percent effaced.
Fast forward to this evening, went back in because I suspected I may be leaking fluid and they wanted to check me. Checked me and fluid was a-okay but I was 1CM and 70 percent effaced. Only one contraction on the monitor so they called the MW in to see what she thought- by the time the MW got there I was having contractions 7 minutes apart and could not feel some of them, others were very intense. The MW checked me again (this was about 1 hour after being checked the first time) and I was at 2CM and 70 percent effaced. So contractions were changing my cervix and she said I was in early labor.
MW went and spoke with the on call doctor who said I am 35 weeks and no need to stop the contractions. And MW says I will be probably having baby if things keep up like this by the beginning of the week. We talked for a long time about possibly complications and what not and she said the biggest issue will probably be getting him to suck and eat well. She said he is about 6 pounds give or take so a good weight.
I don't know how to feel- I am terrified and nervous. I have been shaking a little since I left because I am so anxious and I don't know what to expect.
So, I thought I would come on here and let you ladies know since you have been my support through this whole bumpy ride they call pregnancy.
I will be praying tonight that he is going to be okay coming at 35 weeks but MW was very confident that he would be.
Guess I am going to be a mommy soonish.... YIKES.
