Admitted

I went in for my MFM appointment this morning. Both girls were measured. Baby  A is 2lbs 7oz and Baby B is 2lbs14oz. I told the tech about the groin pain and pressured I had been experiencing for the past week or so. She decided to do an internal u/s to make sure my cervix was still long and closed. She finished up and I asked how everything looked. Her response was she was going to show the doctor and he would come in and talk to me. She also asked that I stay undressed in case he wanted to do another exam. At that moment I knew things weren't good. After about 15-20 minutes the doctor came in and said he was concerned because the u/s showed my cervix was open. Cue internal freak out. I wanted to cry at that moment, but I kept my shit together. He did an internal exam and told me I was dialated to 1 cm and my cervix was open. He wanted to admit me to the hospital for steroids. I asked if it would close back up, and he said no at this point they hope to just keep it like is and for it not to open anymore. I truly didn't expect for this to happen today, not at all. I was admitted this morning around 9:30. Since then I had my first dose of steroids, penicillin, and Procardia to stop contractions. I have been told over and over that even if the girls come within the next few days, that things will be okay. The girls will be okay. As of now I don't have much information where we go from here. I know I will be here for two days at least. At that point they will determine if I need to stay longer or if I will be released. So much is up in the air and that is what scares me the most. I wonder when the girls will be born. Now or weeks from now? Will I go back to work? Will I know if released that I am in fact dialating more ( Since I had no idea this time). So many questions and so little answers. For now I am thankful that Lilah and Olivia are still inside where they belong and I  will take it day by day. Who knows, I could still make it to 37-38 weeks. Crazier things have happened :)

  2. I'm thinking good positive thoughts. As someone who started bed rest at 28 weeks and then strict bed rest at 30 weeks. I know you are stronger then me and you can do this!!!! The girls are healthy and at the end of the day that is what matters, and they are still in there cooking away!!!! I'll be thinking of you and the girls this weekend putting out good vibes!!!!

  4. I'm sure that's scary news...but great that they caught it! Every extra day they are in there will help prepare them for the world outside the womb...so you are right to take it day by day. My sister-in-law was admitted to the hospital at something like 24 or 26 weeks and carried her son to 36. So...it totally can happen! Hang in there...will be thinking of you!

  5. I am thinking of you and your babies. It's all going to be okay. Just do whatever you have to do now to focus on yourself and your babies. Don't even worry about work or the rest of the world. It will all take care of itself.
