Waiting for the word

As of Sunday morning at 8:30 AM, we are still waiting to see the high-risk doctor again to get the okay to go home. Kristin is feeling much better and we are both extremely optimistic about the next few months. I asked our nurse (Tammy) this question last night: "In your experience, what percentage of patients in our situation end up going to full term?" Her response...with a grin: "The better question is; how many of those patients do we end up inducing at 41 and 42 weeks?" So it seems that many women who experience pre-term contractions without any major cervical change actually build up a tolerance for labor. Hmmm could make for an interesting February.
