I am measuring 44 weeks. I think I would be measuring larger but the babies are all packed in tight now. Baby A is head down and wedged in the exit doctor said next time he moves it will be to exit the building. Baby B is right beside him forehead to chin. He too is head down. He could roll back over but it is going to be hard as he is the bigger of the 2 and running out of room. I have started to dilate but not much. As Dave pointed out though I wasn’t this dilated when my water broke with Thor. The doctor’s feel comfortable that I will go at least 1 more week and could easily go 2-3 more. We will watch it closely. Both boys have heart rates in the mid 140’s which is perfect.
Next week we have a weigh and measure on Wednesday, a non stress test on Thursday and then an appointment with the doctor. After next Thursday, if the contractions start again they won’t stop them and between next Thursday and the 25th we are looking at a one to one ratio for days in NICU at worse. Ideally, after the 25th we shouldn’t see any time in NICU.
We will keep following doctor’s orders and keep praying for more days. At this point, every moment counts.
