Hey girls!
Update:
Went into preterm labor Friday, Sept 16th without even knowing it! Thankfully, I went to the doctor because something just felt off and I was rushed to labor and delivery. I was at 30 weeks. My contractions, that I didn't even feel, were 10 minutes apart at 11 am. Then by 2 pm, they were 4 minutes apart and I was feeling tightening. It wasn't painful, but I was 75% effaced and 2 cm dialated. Thankfully, they were able to slow it down, give me meds to relax the muscles, and steroid shots to mature her lungs quickly. Baby Emilia was never in distress, she just wanted to meet Mommy too early!
So, I'm on strict bed rest at the hospital because unfortunately, once you've thinned out, it doesn't go back. I can get up and pee and shower every other day for about 10 minutes. Otherwise, I'm stuck in a bed, laying down. Tomorrow, they'll tell me whether I can go home and be on bed rest or if I have to stay here until she's born.
My doctor gave me goals to get to. The first: Stay pregnant! Make it till October 1 (32 weeks). Second: Make it to October 15 (34 weeks). The ultimate goal would be 35 weeks, but only Emma can dictate that!
Even if she was born tomorrow, she has a 92% chance of survival because of the shots I went through to mature her insides quicker. We just want her to gain some pounds, so she can retain her body heat.
Looks like she won't be a November baby!
