What would being pregnant be without a 34 week trip to the hospital!? In all honesty, I think the babies were just trying to give me my first mothers day present! On Sunday afternoon, I started experiencing the strongest contractions I have felt thus far and they were about 3 to 5 minutes apart. Going to the hospital is a tough call when you've never done this before...and when you're husband is the contraction pro and is telling you to relax and you'll be fine...ugh!!! So after a call to the doctor, it was easy to know that we needed to come in. Low and be hold the contractions were getting closer together and more intense as the night went on. They have been rotating me between two medications to get them to slow down...which the side effects to both are not fun either.
We had an ultrasound this morning and everything is looking good. Baby a is now measuring about 4 lbs and B is about 5...which is what we were hoping for. Their lung development is in the "immature" zone still but getting very close. I am getting shots of steroids to give their lungs a jump start so we'll see how that goes. I also got an amniocenteses done this morning to check for any infection in their fluid...so far all is good!
At this point every day will be better and better, so just keep your fingers crossed for 1 more day each day!!
