35 week appointment

Weight Gain: +12 lbs per MD scale
B/P: 112/86
FHR: 130's
Fundal Height: 34cm

Today's appointment was pretty busy. This past Thursday, I started having contractions 2 min apart at work. I was a little concerned because I knew it was due to me doing too much, but I couldn't slow down. I had a lot of work to do with my patients, and we were getting lots of admissions. I brought this up to my midwife at my appointment, and she decided to do a cervical check to make sure these contractions weren't doing anything and were just Braxton Hicks. Turns out, I am starting to dilate/efface. Uh oh. She is placing me on bed rest until the 17th when I will be 37 weeks and considered "full term." Right now I am at 2cm and 50% effaced.

My allergies have really had a hold on me this past week, too. I can't take very much for them and I am a sneezing, runny nose, itchy eye, lethargic mess. I am hoping that I am on the tail-end of it, because this is pretty miserable. She wrote me a script for some more Singular, so I am hoping I will start feeling better soon.
