I am a stay at home mom of 1, married to my sailor and a gestational surrogate carrying twins for S & B. This blog is the story of my new "life" on the couch for the remainder of this pregnancy on bedrest. Follow me as I help prolong the life of my short cervix and celebrate each week we make past viability (24 weeks).

29 weeks
Day 34 of hospital bed rest
Once again, the subtitle says it all. Here's the nitty gritty... I'm now 3.5cm and still 50% effaced. They want me here till 32 weeks (obviously unless I deliver before that). At that time, I will be reevaluated for a possible discharge. They gave me the first rescue dose of steroids just for precaution in case I deliver in the next 4 weeks. I'll get the final shot tomorrow night around dinner time. I asked them to continue to do a weekly cervical check on Tuesdays just because hey I'm here I might as well know whats going on. Obviously, it's not the news we wanted, but my body calls the shots. I did get a decent amount of stitching done because it took FOREVER to get Dr. Duke in here.
Aww man! I know that was a disappointment, I'm sory! :-( I'll be keeping you and the babies in my prayers that they stay put for weeks to come. No more dialating!!
