We had our 31 week appointment today and it went really well! Some of you may know that at 25 weeks I started having contractions and was starting to dilate but only about a 1/2 centimeter. I'm still having contractions and I can tell the difference between braxton hicks contractions and real contractions. Since I'm still having real contractions my midwife decided to check me and do another FFN test. The good news is that I haven't dilated anymore. I'm still waiting to hear back about the FFN test but I'm pretty sure it will come back negative. This test will predict whether or not I will go into labor within the next 2 weeks.
My blood pressure was a little high so they checked my urine sample and that came back negative as well. I just have to keep an eye on my feet swelling. I've been pretty swollen in my feet and hands but she said the swelling I have now is normal pregnancy swelling and that I should contact her if my skin starts to indent when I press on it.
I did have to take the 3 hour glucose test because my first test came back elevated. I didn't know how much elevated it was. Turns out I was only elevated by 1mg! Oh well, it's better to be safe than sorry. Even though the 3 hour test is tough, I'm still glad that I did it and it came back normal.
I'm really excited that I start going to the doctor every other week now. I think this will help the last 9 weeks go a lot faster!
We are so excited to see our little girl!
