Best Moment this Week: Getting to see our baby girl, and knowing she is growing!!

I had an unscheduled appt this past week- do to the amt of BHs I was having- up to 5-6 an hour. AND, I was feeling a change in pressure. They did the Fetal Fibronectin test (tests to see if you're at risk for going into labor in the next 2 weeks), and it came back negative- hooray! They also did a sono to measure my cervix, since I was feeling so much pressure. Turns out all is fine, baby's head is just ON my cervix- which is naturally creating pressure.
My dr is being very precautious, because of my past medical history, and due to how hard it was to get this sweet baby. She told me no more exercising:(, and no more substituting. Basically, I can be out of the house, but not for more than 3 hours at a time. I go back in 2 weeks to repeat the Fetal Fibronectin test.
