Bedrested

It's been a while since the last update, so this one is going to be a big one. For the past month or so, Krystal has been feeling an off and on tightening, about once an hour, sometimes more, most of the time less. Regardless, enough to worry her. It led to one early appointment (which was actually the one with the ultrasounds from last month) and a trip to the L&D floor to see if anything showed up on the contraction monitor. Nothing did either time, however at our last visit a week ago, the doctor noted her cervix to be dilated 1cm (previously had been completely closed).

We spent that night on the L&D floor so stay on the monitor for a prolonged period of time and when we were discharged the next morning it was on terbutaline and procardia to limit/stop the contractions. Today we went back to the doctor, cervix was unchanged, however due to the medications not completely stopping the tightening, she has now been placed on bedrest and will be put on a terbutaline pump.

Any and all prayers are appreciated, it's going to be a long 4 months.
