I'm back with an update- ended my 25th week today!! a lot has happened recently and I've been so nervous.. went in for u/s wednesday, babies are great, strong heartbeats, both are now head down.. except when they did a vaginal u/s, when pressure is applied, I was funneling. I asked and that means baby a's bag was being pushed into my cervix, no leaks or breaks but I guess funneling isn't so good.. so they sent me immediately over to have an internal exam and found although my cervix is still long (2.8cm), its soft. so I started freaking out thinking I'm going into early labor and whatnot.. past 2 days have been so stressful and scary. had to go to the hospital today for a FFN (fetal fibronectin)- measures a specific protein in the mucus on the cervix kinda like a pap smear, and it tells the docs if I'll be delivering within the next 2 weeks. so I had to wait in the room on monitors measuring contractions (surprisingly, I had none) for a little over an hour, and got the good news that the test was negative.. so I'm safe for 2 weeks.. the only downside is I'm stuck on bedrest now which is a pain in the behind, literally. my butt is so numb, my tailbone kills even with pillows under me and laying on my sides. goodness gracious, I'm still a little stressed but I'm trying to think positive and say every day they stay inside is one day less in NICU. so scary... I guess I'll be spending a lot more time online.. any pointers? god bless everyone :)
