So I went back to the doctor this am... seemed to be a very productive appt. Cervix is about the same at 1.8cm vs 1.9, so only 1mm difference which isnt enough to be concerned with so for the time being I am still on bed rest. The doc said that I can sit up more though, and dont have to stay lateral as much. I was glad that it didnt get any shorter, but I didnt really expect it to. So when I actually saw the doc, he said he wanted to SEE my cervix, so I had another pelvic exam which is SO uncomfortable bc my cervix is SO HIGH but I survived and he said it was still closed and high and he was happy about that.
He asked me if we had been talked to about steroids (I was going to ask HIM after the exam) and I told him no but that I had read about it and was just about to ask and he said that he wanted me back on Monday/Tuesday so we can do the 2 rounds of steroids for the babies just in case. He also said monday he wants to do a fFN- Fetal Fibronectin test to see how high of a risk for premature labor I am. He didnt seem SUPER concerned about premature labor, but he would rather be over cautious to be sure. And so would I.
Lastly, he gave me some progesterone suppository things that are supposed to help my cervix as well. Thats about it. Felt pretty productive, and it feels good to feel like I am getting attentive care.
So tomorrow at 9am we have our 4D ultrasound which I am super excited about! My mom should be coming to town today which is good bc I have some laundry that needs attending to
Doc said my short term goal is to make it to 28 weeks (12 more days) and then after that we will set a goal for 32 weeks. Seems scary, but I know that making it to 28 weeks should be easy enough.
Hope yall have a great Friday!
