So I went in for my 32 week check-up today and didn't get the best of news. I've been feeling really strong BH contractions and since I have a history of delivering early (Bailey at 36 weeks, Vaughn at 37), doc thought it would be a good idea to check my cervix and do my group b strep today just in case. Turns out I'm already 2cm dilated. I know I could be 2 for a long time but that hasn't been the case for me in the past so I'm a bit worried. It's too early. Doc said that I wasn't effacing though so he wasn't going to put me on bedrest "yet." On the upside, my GD is in really good control according to the doc and I lost another pound, bringing the total to 5 pounds since I got diagnosed with the GD. Well thanks all for reading. I haven't been able to talk to DH about it and don't want to worry those around me so I am painting a smile on my face but in truth, I just want to cry a little....hormones maybe? I'm just worried though I'm sure all will be fine.
Thanks all. My spirits are a little higher today. I think mostly because I had to calm my somewhat overprotective but very sweet DH about the whole thing. When I first told him, he didn't really understand. He just thought that meant that things were getting closer so Yay...once I explained that no, we don't want it closer yet, then he started with his put your feet up, don't go anywhere, why aren't you on medication...and it went on and on. I think once he worried enough for the both of us, I was able to relax a little. Weird, but it worked. LOL
just try to relax and not do as much as you normally do..i know easier said than done but the longer baby bakes the better!! is there anyone you can get to help you out with some stuff?
