update on jeffrae after u/s & OB follow-up

jeffrae · February 2011

Hi - I just got back from the OB and ultrasound. So good news is that the u/s showed 3.6 - which is better then what the OB felt. With my contractions I have been feeling and that she thought my cervix felt soft and short - she believes that it is somewhere in between her assessment and the u/s assessment (she has been an OB for a long time - and actually had two patients with similar issues today but the other girl got the very bad news that it was very short and she was maybe early 20 weeks).

She wants me to have my cervix checked on Tuesday again (by my regular OB) and talk with her about these issues. She wants me to work from home twice a week, no aerobic activity, and strict pelvic rest. I can still do prenatal yoga, etc. Just in moderation. And I am to take off tomorrow to just rest through the weekend. After I speak with my regular OB - I will have a plan in place tailored to what they know then.

I need to call if there are anymore contraction episodes and come in right away. Since i have been off my feet and resting for most of the day - I have only had one.

Oye - what a day. Thank you for the T&P - they helped! On the brighter side - we saw Ava - she already has a head full of hair and is estimated to weigh 3lbs14oz (85%) already!!
