At last! We just returned from the doctor and I have the all clear to get up and wander around
I'm starting week 36 now and the doc says that at this stage the risks of trying to delay the birth outweigh the risks of the semi-premature birth. So no more anti-contractions pills and I'm told I can stay out of bed, just take it easy and not do very intensive exercise (as it might stress the baby).
He also said the baby can come at any day now, as the cervix is totally effaced and I'm already dilated (he didn't want to check how much so as not to trigger further dilation). The baby is all ready - head down and well into the pelvis.
My first priority is to get all the work done - I have a lot of work waiting for me on both sites. Also, I think little Ron (he's 21 months old today), is a bit stressed out over this bed rest and change of routine. He's been spending his days with his grandparents rather than with me and I think he needs a lot of mommy TLC now.
Thanks for your prayers, good thoughts and support everyone!!! Most appreciated!!!
