One More Visit and We Get Our Own Parking Spot

Wednesday we had our scheduled appointment at Women's OB. Kristin was having contractions again all day. Dr. Fettinger did another cervical ultrasound and a pelvic exam. He stated that the cervix is still closed and thick. All good news. However, he appeared to over-react by telling us that we needed to head back to the hospital where Kristin would probably remain for the duration of the pregnancy. Once we got to the hospital we spoke with Dr. Jones who had other ideas. According to Dr. Jones, there is nothing to be alarmed about. The FFN test on Monday was negative again, which means there is a less than 1% chance that the baby will be born within the next two weeks. With the cervix being greater than 2.5 cm, Kristin is still in a stable condition. So it appears that these are simply early contractions that may continue or may cease. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING. Therefore, baring any major changes, Kristin will remain in the hospital over night for observation and hydration. Hopefully the contractions will stop and we will be able to return home.
