24 weeks, six months down!

The past week has been a little rough for bubs and me. Because I had preterm labor with Logan starting at 29 weeks with out even realizing it for three weeks, any little pain freaks me out with this little girl. All week I have had contractions. Not Braxton Hicks (Practice contractions, painless) These were full on contractions. They were not consistent, but they were painful. I also started losing small pieces of my mucus plug. Your mucus plug can regenerate itself over and over, but it is a sign that your cervix is dilating. After waiting it out and staying down, I headed to my appt. on tuesday. Doctor ran an FFN which tests if you will go into labor with in the next four weeks and than she checked my cervix. Thankfully, it was still firm and high, but it was very slightly dilated. So, nothing to worry about and no bed rest yet! Yay! The FFN came out negative, thank goodness! Baby is still measuring small, but doctor is not worried because I am still very small and started under weight. Her heart beat was 163-166. Nice and strong. She likes to move away from the doppler :) My heart beat was really fast, but that is normal for me. She is growing and growing and growing! We are crossing my fingers that we can have a long healthy pregnancy with no preterm labor or bedrest, but my doctor says that chances of preterm labor with this one is pretty high. Luckily I made it full term with Logan, so lets all cross our fingers!
