Tony and I went in today to see Dr Schwartz for another appt. We had an ultrasound first which was positive. Nothing had changed with my cervical length, which is GREAT news!
After the ultrasound, we were escorted into a patient room to wait for the doctor. He was very pleased with the ultrasound and my current status. He said for now we will be watched very closely. He wants us to continue to rest, and "be a bum" as he called it. He plans on seeing us weekly for a while until we are certain that everything has calmed down. He has no doubt that I know what contractions feel like, and I can monitor them at home, but wants to continue the weekly visits to ensure no cervical changes happen. Next week we will do another cervical ultrasound with another appt to see him. He does not want me to go back to work at this time and doesn't see that it would be unrealistic that eventually I might be able to return, although he would want me sitting for most of the work day.
Probably the best part of the appt for me was to find out that I can give my progesterone injections into muscle in my thigh as opposed to my gluteal muscle. When the pharmacist told me that was the only place to give it, I was a little concerned about what I had gotten myself in to when I said I would give them at home. I just gave my second weekly dose to myself, and let me tell you, giving it in the thigh is MUCH easier than the alternative!
Right now Kenna is napping and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my day. I will probably move between couch and recliner, eventually watching many episodes of cartoons......
