Pit stop at the Womans Center

We made a small pit stop for a couple hours at the Womans Center to make sure they contractions and cramping I was having wasn't anything to worry about. Been having them since Saturday and wasn't sure what to make of them.

Cervix was closed, good sign. Contractions/cramping seem to be normal and non threatening for labor, good sign. Urine catch came back clean - no UTI, awesome sign! Last test was the fetal Fibronectin Test. (Fibronectin is protein that holds your amniotic sac to your uterus. They call fibronectin glue. When you get closer to labor it starts breaking down in preparation for labor. Thanks Jennifer for explaining it!) Q-tip on the cervix basically and you wait for it to come back negative - weird test though cause IF its negative there's a 99% chance you will NOT deliver in 2 weeks. IF it comes back positive though, its only a 14% chance you'll go. Gotta love those weird odds! Waiting on the results since they sent us home before they came in. 

Now to take it a little easier than I have been. No nesting cleaning... which sucks, ruins my whole plans. lol
