Hellobee Boards

@Pancakes: yeah, I'm doing good/ ok on bed rest. Seeing dogs and going outside really cheers me up.

Thank you everyone.

@psw27: Thank you. So glad to hear your 34 weeker is doing well.
@Amorini: Thanks. Yeah, I don't know if I hold the HB record. I was talking to my nurse and they said they have had people in the hospital earlier than me... Like at 18-20 weeks. (That sounds like an eternity. Plus the stress of knowing that the baby isn't viable is so scary.) I know in my hospital there is an antepartum patient that is a week ahead of me. I don't know what she is here for and when and if they plan to induce. I know she is pregnant with one baby and I'm currently the only one with twins in my hallway. I do feel bad for her because she has to get NSTs every 4 hours. I only get them every 8 ish hrs or 3 times a day. I think we both have the same dr or practice that requires an hour of monitoring. I can't imagine being monitored every 4 hours. Sometimes it's so uncomfortable waiting for my hour to be up. Plus, if one of the babies is moving too much, they have to extend the time. Ugh, one night the babies weren't cooperating and I had to be monitored for close to 2 hours. I did have a soda so I like not eat before my NSTs so the babies aren't hyperactive.

I'm doing well, though. Still no signs of infection. 32 weeks tomorrow!! Woohoo! I am finally starting to feel contractions. One was painful but most are just uncomfortable. My dr and nurses aren't worried. They said its normal. They will be more worried if the contractions get more regular and start getting painful. Me and the DH are wondering if this means things are getting close. My Dr did say at this point they would not do anything to stop labor. Which I assumed. I think getting to 32 weeks is a big milestone. I think I do have to get me and the DH ready for anything to happen after 32 weeks. Scary, a bit anxious and a bit excited, too. I think I see the finish line so I'm not getting stir crazy in here. Plus, I'm a home body and I sleep most of the day. It's not too bad. I think it was worse when I first got here because 6 weeks sounds like a long time. Felt better when I had 4 weeks left and now I'm at 2 ish weeks left. It's not so bad.
