This morning we are blesing God for another day! What a difference it can make if you put your hope & trust in our heavenly father. He is in control!
I have been having some slight irritability & contractions, but mostly just when I have to pee so the docs do not seem real concerned about that. Dr. S rechecked me today and he said I am a 1-2, 20% effaced, and more posterior. Meaning he cannot feel either of the babies and in his words "you are even further away from active labor." Praise God!
We know this could change at any moment, we are just continuing to trust in God & are so thankful for each extra day. Dr.S has dropped my mag to 2 grams an hour to see how I tolerate that. Meaning, do my contractions &/or irritability increase. He said that he is going to talk with his partners about possibly putting me on a terbutaline pump as an alternative to the mag. I do not know much about that, but my guess is it must be better in terms of side effects related to long term use. We will have to do some more learning there. So we are praying that things do not get to harry here as they play with my meds, but if so we are ready & can handle it with God at our side.
So for now Dr.S wants to keep me camped out on labor & delivery until we get my meds figured out. I am okay with that, where ever is the best place for the twinners & I to be :)
I hope everyone has a safe, happy & dry Halloween! Wish I could see all your cute kiddos in their costumes. Feel free to send me pics :)
God bless!

ReplyDeleteWe are so thankful for another day! Continuing to pray that it's a long time before we get to meet those precious little fighters. PRAISE GOD!!!
ReplyDeletehappy halloween! you just keep your kiddos inside where it is safe and warm(not really dry !)so thankful for more good news!! praise God, He just keeps things so exciting doesn't He?! hope all goes well with the terbutiline, i believe they used to use that and then the mag came along!i am so excited that God is "closing" you up and making you posterior!! what an answer to soooo many prayers!! you are awesome, hanging in there, tell Dave he is awesome too and we pray for him as well:) lol, mary
ReplyDeleteSo glad today is another good day! I was on terbutaline after mag in the hospital and then on terbutaline pills at home after procardia stopped being effective and it didn't make me near as sick as the mag--just super hot. Hope that if they try that that it's as effective as the mag as it might be a welcome break for you from the fun mag:-). Happy Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear the twinners are still sitting tight! You tell those two just to keep chillin'. We'll continue to keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers.

Hey Abi,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are having a good day today! My sister was on the turbutaline (?) pump and she is VERY sensitive to medications. She was also on procardia, but contracted through that and it made her heart RACE! So, the pump was great for her. The only issue was she made me put the needle in. One night it came out and she tried to call me at 4 am, but I didn't answer the phone. So she finally talked her husband into placing it again. Being a nurse yourself, and also being in the hospital, I doubt you will have that problem. Moral: it worked really well for her with minimal side effects.
Happy Halloween!!!
