Last night around dinner time I went to the restroom and lost my mucus plug. We ran to L&D and after a pelvic exam I indeed lost my plug. Luckily enough I am having no contractions, cervix is still closed and no dilation. However, last time at 20 weeks this is how it started and two days later I went into active labor. I received a steroid shot ( which let me tell you may just be the worse injection ever, but so worth it) and a Rhogam shot and fluids. I will go in this morning to my HR doctor and there will be a discussion of a cerclage and I am definitely put on bed rest. I will have to go back tonight to receive the second steroid shot. Mike will be taking the next week off with me just to get into a new routine of "actual" bed rest and may have to show him pinterest! lol.
Am I in a panic, yes. However, with being 26 weeks I was able to get the steroid shots and with quick intervention my babies will be given the best chance and care.
Oh, BTW, we are letting everyone know the babies are indeed BOYS!! It is official :)
TIA for all the prayers and thoughts. I can't tell you how much they mean to Mike and I.

My goal for this journal is to let others struggling through infertility know that you are not alone. A lot of people go through this battle keeping it a secret from friends and family. I want my journal to remind you that you are not alone and what you may be experiencing millions of others are as well.
