Another trip to LD and a scare!

Below is my post to my message boards that i am on. I woke up at 1am and noticed alot of back pain and mild contrx. So i went to the hospital after the meds did not do a thing. After spending the lovely day in there this is the outcome.
Hello . I am finally a lady on parole from L&D after a short stint in there from yesterday. I got some good news then some bad news. The good is my FFN test came back NEGATIVE! Which is great! For those who dont know what a ffn test is it is a fetal fiber noctin test that sees if you are going to deliver in 2wks. So that was great. Bad news is my cervix dialated to a 1 and is soft. :*( Doc is NOT happy about this at all. We always just had the contrx problem not the dilating early stuff. Well not this early. Usually around 28 wks is when my cervix gets tired of my uterus' griping. So i am officially on moderate bedrest till i see the doc on monday and then we will decide what to do from here. I am due to get my injections in the next couple of weeks. They added another pill to the mix of things. The doc that came by and seen me was great. He said alisha i am not sugar coating this at all. He said make it to 28wks and we will be better off. Make it to 30 and we will have a small party. MAke it to 32 and you could have a spelling bee super star. Make it to 34 and we can have a party and a star. Make it to 36 and we are golden. He said "Honestly i dont see you getting past 36wks." Well why the HE#$ am i taking these shots every week. I just dont get it. I am very frustrated and hurt right now! I just dont get this business. UGh. Of course you know they had to talk about life probablitity of a baby when they x weeks. So that freaked me out too. I guess i just need some stay the heck put prayers at least till 34wks.

So that is the outcome of that trip. We really need her to bake for another 7+wks. The doc said he was a hair shy of putting me on total rest. The only thing i had working in my favor is i am an admin sect and he was okay with me keeping my legs propped up and doing my job. So i hope to talk to my boss and pray they will work with me. I call the ob on monday and see what his orders are going to be. Crossing fingers we get to stay with the regimen of bedrest while at home only and no lifting at all. But again we shall see.
