Back from the Dr- update

I did my 1 hour blood test results should be back in a few days and I guess no news is good news. They also did an ultrasound the baby looks good. She's still Frank Breech with her feet touching her face. Plenty of fluid and they'll check her size at the next appointment. I'm measuring a week behind this time. Blood pressure is a little higher than last time, but still just under the actual high marker so it's okay for now.

I'm still only 1cm dialated and my cervix is measuring just under 4cm. The ob says it's not anything to be worried about until it's at 2.15 or under. I have fluid in my cervix?? So rather than look like a solid funnel it's like tornado solid on the outside and hollow in the middle. They gave me a script for Procordia (sp?) I'll need to take that when the contractions are around every 7 minutes. As long as they don't go under 7 minutes I don't have to go in or be checked.

I'm on two week appointments now until the second week of August and then I do once a week appointments.

Things are going by so quick I just hope to keep Bella in there for 9 more weeks!

Momofboys- I know I don't understand it, but the dr doesn't seem worried. She said the length is the most important part.

Sounds good Nicole.  That seems odd to me,  to have a long cervix and yet you're dilated at the same time?   I guess I just don't understand all this so well.

But I'm glad your dr. is watching you close!!  And I assume they didn't officially put you on bedrest like you were afraid of...  But take it easy anyway, ya hear?  =)
