Trip to WETU

Last night we went to the hospital because I saw a few spots of blood and thought I was having some cramping. I also felt a few contractions. I had 1 contraction on the monitor over a 4 hour period. I had a pelvic exam and they checked for any signs of infection which was negative. There was no bleeding he could see. My cervix was closed and my cerclage was holding strong and in the right place. They did a test called something like a fetal fibrinogen marker(?) that can predict if you will deliver within the next 2 weeks and it was positive. My heart skipped a beat but the OB Resident explained that you can get a false positive if you have any bleeding or if you are on prometrium. It had been 24 hours since my last prometrium dose but it still may have interfered with the results. They didn't feel I was in imminent danger of delivery and said they were not going to give me the steriod injection for his lungs yet. They like to give that if they think you are going to deliver prematurely in the next week. I did have 2+ketones in my urine from my sugars being so high but they weren't too concerned and suggested I drink even more water than I already was.

We got home a little after midnight last night. I was grateful to be home and hope and pray Aaden stays put in there for another 10 weeks at least!
