I went into my OB appointment on Wednesday feeling so confident. I had my sono first, and unfortunately it showed that I'd lost a good deal of cervical length since last week. It went from 2.4cm to 1.7cm. Additionally, I'm more thinned out (effaced). Baby girl is still head down and LOW. No wonder I'm so uncomfortable. I was scheduled for an appointment on Friday so we headed home and I went back to the couch.
On Thursday I was having contractions that were causing me lower back and hip pain along with some pressure in my lower abdomen. After a few hours of this I called the nurse and was told to come in. They did a NST (I'm getting so tired of these already), and, surprise, surprise, it showed that I was having contractions and that my uterus is still very irritated. There wasn't a discernible pattern though. Baby girl did GREAT through all of this. She's just as healthy as can be :)
Next the MW did a cervical check, determined that I wasn't dilating, and declared that I have an infection. An order was placed for an antibiotic that I began taking that night.
Today I got a call from the nurse saying that my test results came back negative. I don't have an infection after all. However I was told to keep taking the antibiotic anyway. Sigh...what is going on here?? I wish I knew.
