| 32 weeks, still pregnant! |
On the scary day a few weeks ago, the doctor came into the room and started talking about what happens when babies are born at 28 weeks, and then said "but I'm confident we can get you to 32 weeks." But she was noncommittal about getting further than that. Well-- here we are at 32 weeks today, and my new doctor (the old one moved to Australia a week ago) is talking about 34 weeks as our next goal.
My doctor says to expect that I'll be on bed rest until I reach term. Not something I'm thrilled about, but it's REALLY nice to have an end date (even if it's further off than I was hoping for). When the doctor and I spoke last week, she lifted some of my restrictions though-- I'm allowed to help Kenneth with dishes & other household things, I'm allowed brief outings if I'm still spending 9 hours a day laying down, and I'm allowed to work from home (yay!) as long as I take breaks when my contractions come at 3+ an hour.
I see the doctor again on Wednesday, so hopefully I'll have more of an update then. Until then, YAY, 32 weeks!
