We had our weekly appointment this morning, and all is looking good so far. I'm now dilated to 3 centimeters. My fundal height (belly) is measuring 35 cms - right on schedule - and fetal heart rate is good. My blood pressure is holding steady as well. Baby is still head down.
I am cleared to go back to work on Thursday with the promise that I would take it easy and listen to my body. I'm planning on working abbreviated days in the office and working from home on the days that I don't feel up to it. I can also stop using the progesterone next week.
In good news, I actually tested negative for Group B Strep, which means I won't have to have IV antibiotics administered at the hospital. I'm super happy about this. Dr. Parman even said, when taking my swab, "I just feel like you're going to have this, since every other yucky thing that can happen to you already has." A definite sign of an easy pregnancy.
She really doesn't think I'll go all the way to my due date, and predicts a baby in the next few weeks. But she has no idea, and freely admits that. So - more uncertainty and, of course, constant vigilance.
