31 weeks 3 days 2cm 70% effaced :(
For the past few nights I’ve been restless and can not relieve my back pain. I had one night where I was cramping
For hours with no relief.. I kept blowing
It off pushing through the horrible pelvic pain I’ve been having since early on. Well yesterday I went into triage. I have a history of preterm labor x2 . my daughter I started dilating at 25 weeks until 5cm my water ruptured on top at 33 weeks and had her within 10 hours. My son I was doing weekly injections of progesterone to prevent preterm labor started dilated with him at 30 weeks progressing a cm weekly until 36 weeks 6cm dilated. Well today with my third I went in because I can just sense something was going on... not to mention I don’t feel my contractions my cervix just dilates. I had a first Dr check me and tell me I was completely closed and 30% effaced. So I was happy when he told me that... but then you get the “ this mom is crazy looks” because it was my second time in triage in about 3 weeks due to some horrific pelvic and back pain that have me in tears for hours... but Not even 10 minutes later I had a second Dr come in and say “ due to your history I want to check you myself if you don’t mind”. Baffled she tells the nurse I am 2cm and 70% effaced. She told me that my cervix is behind babies head and it is hard to get to and it’s how the first Dr messed up and his judgment totally went away, I could tell he felt horrible, Because based of his news I went from relieved and happy to completely upset with my second check. Everyone asked me when I first found out I was pregnant if i wanted a boy or a girl.. ?and my answer was simply I do not care!!!!! I just want one full term baby. And I feel like that hope got crushed right then.. heading down the same path with my other 2 children. So I got my first shot of steroids to help make baby’s lungs develop just in case I go into labor anytime soon, they discharged me and I have to return to get my second dose of steroids within 24 hours... a routine I am sadly well accustomed to. I Have an appointment on Monday and I am hoping there is no change or I will have to be admitted and monitored for at least a few hours and probably a round of magnesium to stop any more progression. But I am going to stay hopeful and pray that I make it the furthers along with this baby.
