35 Weeks and Counting
Tomorrow I will be 35 weeks pregnant. This is a milestone I didn’t think I would reach. Honestly I don’t even think my doctors would think I would reach it either. I truly cannot believe I have made it this far. This week I had an MFM appointment and an OB appointment on the same…

Home. Stable. Still Pregnant!
The past week and a half has been a whirlwind. I am still pregnant (32+3 today!) and I am home! I was discharged last Thursday after being in hospital for a week. I was getting morning check ups and twice daily NSTs, thankfully there was no more bleeding and baby and I remained stable the…

I had my OB appointment on Tuesday, she said that if I make it to 28 weeks then I can start being a little bit more active- short walks, prenatal yoga,…

Another Blow
I had my weekly TVU today. My regular MFM was off so it was a different doctor. Baby still looks great, but once again I have lost length. My cervix is dynamic so she gave me both measurements (with and without pressure): 2.8cm down to 1.5cm. My regular MFM usually gives me the shortest length…so…
