Optimistic 34wk apt

lolob45

I was in l&d twice last week for PTL, dizzy spells and high blood pressure. After a rough weekend of contractions that got as close as 6min apart multiple times (but eventually tapered off) I was really nervous my ob would admit me until delivery, as was suggested by the on call dr this weekend. Thankfully, my apt went much better then I  expected and i'm back home on strict bed rest.

My LO has dropped but my cervix is closed which is great news - those contractions aren't doing anything yet. If my cx get to 10min or closer together for the next week I have to go to l&d and they'll try to stop labor .... after next Wednesday (when i'm 36wks) they won't stop it. My doctor was very optimistic I would get there at the very least. It sounded like they would remove me from bed rest at 36wks which is AMAZING considering it's been 11 weeks... fingers crossed! 

We went through my birth plan and she answered every single question I had. I feel so much more at peace with how to handle the contractions and where we go from here. 

I hope everyone else is having a great week with great apts!!!
