29 Weeks Pregnant!

Another week is a big relief! I am 29 weeks pregnant and, as of last week, I'm in my 3rd trimester.
~
I've been pretty miserable the last couple days. Especially every 4 minutes. Two nights ago I had contractions every 6 minutes apart like clock work. Now they are 4 minutes apart like clock work. They do not miss a beat.
~
I went to my doctors appointment today and they didn't want to check my cervix due to making it contract more, but they did do a Fetal Fibronectin Test which will tell me if I'll go into labor within 48 hours. I will get the results back tomorrow.
~
Then, next week (if I'm still pregnant. I'm sure I will be) I go back for a sonogram to see how long or short my cervix is. My doc is doing everything he can to not aggravate the cervix but to see whats going on.
~
I asked if these are braxton hicks and he said no they are the real deal.... yikes!!
~
As long as the contractions do not get stronger or closer together then I will be ok.

If Jaxson is born now he will have a 90% survival rate :)

I'll keep yall updated.

  3. Raychel! I hope you are doing well. It's so scary having early contractions. I had a positive test and didn't go into labor...so hopefully you'll be able to beat the test!

    It sounds like you are staying strong! I'll say a prayer for you today. Blessings!
