After going into early labor on Monday and dilating to 4cm and 80% they were finally able to stop contractions and released me from the hospital yesterday to strict bed rest at home. I went for my biweekly BPP this morning and both boys did great but I had another cervical check and my Baby A's bag is bulging and the OB said she could've easily broken it as well as stretched me to a 6 as my cervix is very very thin.
I'd love to make it to 35w (I'm 33+5 today). Do you think there's any hope?
I'm not contracting anymore and laying completely flat as much as possible and drinking lots of water, but I don't know what else there is I can do to keep these boys in just a little while longer. Did anyone experience early labor with bulging bags and make it longer than just a few days? I'd love to hear some hopeful stories.
Thanks Ladies
