20 Weeks with Quads

(July 21, 2008)

The Dr. Visit: Well today was set up to be a quick OB check up. They checked my cervix with the stitch in it is now 1.4cm, so it went from .48. everything looked good with a quick peek at the babies too.

The Doctor visit got a little long because I have a terrible cold that I caught right when I got home. Yucky coughing fits, so have been avoiding answering the phone so I don’t cough people’s ear off. Hopefully I’ll be better by the weekend. To be safe the doctor put me on antibiotics just to make sure I get no bacteria growing, and some extra strength cough medicine. She does not want me to tear my stitch from coughing so hard.

I also was having cramping, they wanted to monitor me for contractions. So ended up hooked up to a monitor for an hour to see if there were contractions, thankfully there were none. So I got sent back home, YAY!! The Doctor I saw today agrees with the one who released me that I will be back to stay at the hospital for the duration in about 3 – 4 weeks. So I am going to enjoy every moment of bed-rest at home for now!!

Keep the prayers coming!!

My next appointment will be Monday July 28th 2008, they will be doing baby measurements!! :)
