My appointment didn’t exactly answer too many questions, but I’m pretty sure my cervix did change over the weekend. This is basically what the MW said in a nutshell.
She said that there’s two layers (or openings) to the cervix, and that she was able to get a finger through the first but the second was closed. She said I was soft but thick, and the baby was at -3. She said she would expect to see this kind of cervix in a woman that was more like 34-36 weeks along. (The MW I saw on Thursday seemed to imply that my cervix was right where it should be for a 30 weeker.) So, I don’t know if I am officially dilated, but I have another appointment early Friday morning where I will get checked again. She thinks I have an irritable uterus, or something of that sort. Baby was good, heart rate in the 140s…ute was measuring on track.
Since I pretty much just sit at my desk all day, she said she wasn’t recommending bedrest, but if I have a lot of contractions in the evening or morning before work, that I should probably stay home.
So…still, no drastic measures, nothing alarming, but they’re definitely keeping a stronger eye on me. It’s all just annoying now.
