Woowhooo! I am at 31 weeks and not in the hospital!! I AM THRILLED! I just had an appt. on Tuesday, everything LOOKED good and he even did another free 3d sonogram for me! He did the fetal fibronectin test that helps predict pre-term labor (they have been doing it every 2 week) We want them to all be negative....but the last one was Positive. Now for your little science lesson so you what that means:
What is fetal fibronectin you may ask...well it is a protein that acts as a "glue" during pregnancy, attaching the amniotic sac — the fluid-filled membrane that cushions your baby in the uterus — to the lining of the uterus. Fetal fibronectin shows up later in pregnancy, about one to three weeks before labor begins
- Positive. A positive result means that fetal fibronectin is present. If you have a positive result between weeks 24 and 34, you're at increased risk of preterm labor.
- Negative. A negative results means that fetal fibronection isn't present. This indicates that your pregnancy will continue for at least another week or two.
He has me on medication, so hopefully that will help, and a positive result doesn't mean FOR SURE of anything, it is just better to be negative! Other than that I am doing good. Food in general makes me really sick and the baby is laying on an important vein still and giving me little pass out spells that make me really sick. Thankfully I haven't had one in a couple weeks! He doesn't move hardly at all and it gives me scares every once in awhile. Zach moved kicked and punched constantly and as hard as he could. This baby doesn't at all..not even at night...just maybe like half an hour before I go to sleep he starts wiggling, but thats it. I def. can't wait to meet the little guy, but I def. WANT to wait to meet the little guy..I would be more than happy to go the next 9 full weeks in the heat of the summer, hating food, getting fat and swollen, than to have an early baby!
Here I am at 30 weeks with my cute bassinet my mother and sister-in-law got for me!
(if your lucky I will post one or two more prego pics throughout the pregnancy)
