Dr. Update

OK ... I really do believe that our couch is magical! I'm telling you ... I instantly STOP contracting when I am on it!!! That being said, yes, I contracted most of today .... 6 min apart for about 5 hours! I left at 1pm for the Dr.'s. Both babies are doing well with plenty (actually A LOT) of amniotic fluid around them, heartbeats are great, etc... My uterus is stretched to the max though! I am also now 75% effaced with a very soft cervix, but still 1-2 cm dialated. Even with changes, the Dr. sent me home.

After the Dr. appointment I had the NST at the hospital. They want to see a minimum of so many "accelerations" within a given time. Our little girl surprisingly was the one who cooperated, while our little guy did not. I had to drink some juice to get him more active. After what seemed like FOREVER we got a few accelerations out of him. The nurse wasn't happy with the results, so she had to take them over to my Dr. office to get his opinion. I was worried since I also had the contraction monitor on which was showing regular contractions every 6 minutes!! My Dr. surprisingly was extremely happy with the results on babies and released me to go home! Of course as we got on the 5 north there was an accident and we sat in traffic for a few hours!!! I just pray when I need to go to the hospital it won't take long!!!

I have my next Peri appointment on Thurs, so resting tomorrow will be helpful!

Anyway.... it seems labor could be tonight or 10 days from now... I just don't know at this point what will happen!!!
