Bed Rest...

Hi All!

Just checking in....went to the doctor. For the last few weeks I've been having minor contractions on and off. They're not constant and it only happens maybe once or twice a week. The doctor said it is more than likely Braxton Hicks. But since I've had a pre-term labor, we're being very precautious.

She gave me a check up to see if my cervix was dilated. She said I was one cm on the outside.She gave me medicine that should completely stop the contractions. She also gave me a steroid shot that will help the baby's lungs develop quicker. I have to go back today and take another.

She has also all but put me on bed rest. I have to keep my activity to a minimum and try to stay off my feet as much as possible. So I'm being watched like a hawk and being fussed at by everyone to not be hard headed and do what the doctor says. So here I am, sitting in bed. Blogging.

Just wanted to check in. Gotta go!
