Hello ladies!!
Sorry for the late start this morning.
How did you sleep?
Any new pregnancy symptoms, cravings/aversions
Upcoming appointments, milestones, or updates
QOTD: What's the most extreme weather event you've ever witnessed... or that has happened near you?

Re: *** Wednesday Bedrest Check-in ***
My appetite is slowly coming back. I haven't been able to eat as much as I'd like to, which is probably a good thing though since I can't be active. I'm not really craving anything except for a large Dr. Pepper with tons of crushes ice, but no... water it is
Today is our "ticker change" day. Baby girl is now 26weeks along... she's supposedly the size of a head of lettuce? Also, we see the doc tomorrow and I have a million questions for him.
QOTD: in 1998 there was a massive flood in our area that literally swept away whole houses. Even though we don't live near the river there was lots of localized flooding as well and people were having to be resuced from low water crossings by boat. And we were without running water for a full week and without electricity for 3 days. Thanfully my dad had stocked up on jugs of drinking water and we used collected rain water to flush the toilets.
Good morning!
I slept well last night, I was exhausted.
I am starting to feely slightly nauseated in the mornings again. I had bad morning sickness in first tri, then felt really good in second tri, now it's starting to come back I think. I just need to make sure I eat or drink something as soon as I wake up.
I saw my OB this morning for a cervical length check. There has not really been any change from last week, which I guess is a good thing. My cervix is still around 2.7cm. They want me to get the steroid shots just in case, so I am going to L&D this afternoon for the first round. I see the MFM tomorrow as well and will get the second round of steroids afterwards.
QOTD: A few years ago, there was a crazy hurricane that came through while I was at work. When I tried to go home, every single road was blocked off due to trees being down. I was detoured all over the county, and these massive trees were down everywhere, with power lines hanging all over the place. It was dark and pouring and I had no idea where I was or how I was going to get home. I finally made it home hours later, but it was really scary.
@MissChanandlerBong do you have a cerclage? How far along are you? I wish my Ob would be willing to take a more proactive approach. I think tomorrow I'll be asking about an fFN test

The test essentially test to see if any fetal fibronectin is detected. However, the results are not always accurate. If you get a negative result then you're not likely to exprience ptl for the next two weeks. If you get a positive result it just means you're at a higher risk for ptl within the next two weeks but doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have baby soon especially with close monitoring and other interventions. I would want it more for the peace of mind or to have us be more alert to possible ptl.
