Dr. Dornbier, my OB, stopped in bright and early this morning. It was 7:30 am and I was just getting in the shower when I heard him talking in the hallway. He checked my cervix and said it had thickened which is a good thing. He was happy with the way the medicine was keeping the contractions under control.
He gave me two choices 1) stay here where he can keep a close eye on the babies or 2) go home on strict bed rest and continue to see him twice a week.
His recommendation was for me to stay here because he could keep a closer eye on the babies. The fact that all three were breech the last we knew and there is a foot down there could end up with an emergency C-section. We don't want that. He did mention we could do some of the monitoring from home but I found out that insurance doesn't cover these services unless I am in the hospital.
Dave and I had discussed this last night and were in agreement that if Dr. D thought I should be here I would suck it up and stay for the duration. So I am here for at least this weekend possibly 21 more days depending on what happens. Dr. D wants us to make it to 34 weeks (today is 31 weeks 6 days) and I want to go at least 35 weeks. If I want to make it that far this is the best place for me.
We had the growth scans today and found the following (31 W 6 D) :
Baby A (Mason William) 32 W 1 D - 4lbs 5oz!!! Breach (his foot is the culprit)
Baby B (Katherine Ann) 31 W 1 D - 3lbs 13 oz Breach
Baby C (Audrey Grace) 29 W ) D - 2lbs 13 oz - pray for Audrey to catch up please!
I've had several people call and stop by which is really making the time fly by! Thanks so much everyone!
More updates later.
