Week 34

We had a little curve ball this week! We went in for a normal appointment and the doctor walked in and could see the discomfort on my face. He decided we should check things and turns out to all of our surprise I was 2cm! I was sent straight to assessment because what I thought were movements were actually contractions. I was monitored for 5 hours, received two bags of fluids and a shot of Breathine. All of that caused my contractions to go from every 3 minutes to every 9 minutes. With the regression the doctor felt comfortable enough to send me home on bed rest. He hopes for me to make it until 37 ideally but will be satisfied with 35 which is Monday. 

Not the picture I had planned for this week, but it's fitting.
