Still here, no babies yet! Woot!
Had an appointment today that included a non stress test to check out the babies heart rates and my contractions, and all looked well. They picked up a couple of contractions (which I feel throughout the day) but they are not frequent enough to be of concern (I get them a lot more, though, if I am up and moving around). Still have the "irritable uterus" (well, duh, there are two BIG babies crammed in there, I would be a bit irritable too) but that's not too worrisome at this point, either.
Also had an appointment with the doctor and she did a check and all seems fine on the cervix front. No more progressing, which is what we want. I asked about how long I have to stay on the meds I'm on, since they affect my blood pressure (lowering it when its not high to begin with) and therefore make me really really tired when I stand up and walk around (not that I am doing lots of that anyway) and she said somewhere in the 34-35 week range. Same with easing up on the bedrest.
I will be 34 weeks this coming Saturday, so I think we will be attempting to lay low for another week and a half and if we are still here then we will stop the current efforts and see what happens. It could still be awhile after that, or it could be right away, we don't really know. I'd love to be off the meds for a bit before labor actually happens so that I feel stronger and have more stamina. I get out of breath just walking to the bathroom now, and I can't imagine going through labor the way I want feeling how I do now!
