I'm thirty-five weeks pregnant today, and I feel as though I keep having to pinch myself. We've gone into premature labor once already, and received a shot to stop the labor. Every week is a new goal for me, from thirty weeks to thirty one weeks and so on and so forth. I'll be full term next week, and if I go into labor, I'll be having a baby!
The thing is that we have no answers as to *why* the contractions keep coming the way that they do. I've had a very homeopathic pregnancy, and if I felt that it was an option (i.e. that the law wouldn't complain about it), I'd be having this baby at home, delivered by DH. I view pregnancy and childbirth as a completely natural occurrence, and it wouldn't be the first baby that he's delivered!
At any rate, I'm starting to have the really weird dreams again. Early on, I kept dreaming that we were expecting twins. I started out with *really* high hormone levels and bled heavily at ten weeks, but retained the pregnancy. Nobody is sure if we didn't lose an entire twin or whether or not it was simply a subchorionic (sp?) bleed.
Anyway, I've had a lot of "twin" dreams, though not usually the type that indicates twins. I've only had one ultrasound throughout the pregnancy (my choice) and it did *not* confirm twins. Only one heartbeat has been found, but that's all that's been sought.
What if I have twins without us being prepared?!? What are we going to do!
Seriously though... It's just getting to be the "countdown" time!
