Baby Hakes update
At 28 weeks I went in to my Doctors office and my cervix had gone from 4cm to 2.3cm. Anything above a 3 is good. I went back 5 days later and it had gone down to 1.8cm. I have been contracting fairly regularly thoughout the day. So because of all that they decided to give me steroid injections for the baby's lungs. (One good side note is the my fetal fibernectin test came back negative which means I'm very unlikely of delivering for 2 more weeks, from 28 week appt You can google the test for more info.) They also put me on the drug called procardia to help my stop contracting or at least contract less. I've also been put on "Low activity" orders. Basically no going anywhere, stay off my feet, don't clean my house, just relax. (It's harder then you think) I cannot believe how much I took my other 'easier' pregnancies for granted. I'm 29 weeks and 5 days and I've never looked forward to 30 weeks so much in my life. Right now my goal would be at least 34 weeks but of course anything beyond that would be amazing. I am 31 days away from 34 weeks and it feels like an eternity. My next Doctors visit is on Tuesday and I'm so very interested to see what the out come of that is! Any and all prayers are greatly welcomed! Or happy thoughts or inspirational quotes or anything you've got! I'll keep you all posted as updates come in! We are just praying and hoping for a healthy baby!

You have such a good positive attitude! You will be in my prayers. I know you can do this! I just wish I were right there with you so I could come get your kiddos and help clean your house and bring you meals. I love you!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that low activity orders would be so hard with 2 other small children running around. Sorry! Hang in there!
