I just wanted to give everyone an update to Friday's run to L&D. This morning I went into my high risk doctor to just get a more in depth check. I know L&D checked everything, but if you know my HR doctor they go way more in depth than any machine in L&D. So, luckily, my cervix is still really long and closed. No cervical changes which is a great thing!
I mentioned that I had an upset stomach all day the day we went into the hospital and my tech said it could have easily had been something I ate that caused my irritable uterus. I mentioned Subway the day before and she asked in her russian accent, "why you eat subway? Who told you you could eat cold cuts?" I just looked at her and replied, "It was heated up!" lol. She informed me that subway does not heat up their meat high enough to kill any bacteria and the fact that it is sitting out all day is basically just asking to get an upset GI tract. Which could easily cause issues. So, no more subway for me and basically no more eating out unless I know for sure everything is prepared correctly!
Long story short, with twins I am going to have braxton hicks/irritable uterus. My uterus is stretching at a much faster rate and it is just going to happen. If my cervix starts to change is when we need to worry. If my cervix starts to change and I begin to have contractions no bag of fluid or bed rest will save us. So, we are praying to God and asking everyone who is praying for us to just ask God to keep my cervix closed, shut and long!
Thanks for your prayers!!! I really appreciate it. Love you all!!
