Made it through another week! I did make another trip up to L&D this morning but everything checked out ok. Last night I noticed was having some increased mucousy stuff, so of course everytime I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I was nervous that I was going to see blood. No bleeding, but significant amount to alarm me. I called this morning and they wanted to be sure that there were no cervical changes, so I went in. Contractions were 7-8 min apart when I got there and 4-5 min apart when I left. This is pretty standard for me, so the on-call doctor was ok with sending me home since cervix was still closed. I'm to go in again if the contractions get more intense or won't go away. I just shook my head, because sometimes they don't stop for 3 hours at a time. How in the heck am I supposed to know if its serious or not?
I did find out during this visit that after 34 weeks they will not do any steroid injections for the lungs or magnesium to slow/stop labor. So if after next Sunday, Nolan decides to make his entrance, then I guess he will be able to without any interventions.
I missed church this morning, which I was bummed about because it was Palm Sunday. Hopefully everything will remain very stable this next week and I'll be able to make Easter mass.
Nathan update - he went poop on the potty last night again, hooray!!
