My contractions have slowed more but are still happening; had four in an hour last hour. My doctor decided to add a second medication, indomethacin, which they can only try until 32 weeks. It's a 2 day course, then I'll be back to just the Procardia. One of the side effects of indomethacin is reduced amount of amniotic fluid, so I'm hydrating like crazy and thankful that on my Friday ultrasound, baby B had plenty of amniotic fluid. It should build back up after I'm finished with the course.
They've decided to keep me another day for observation to see how the new drug does. Tomorrow, some high risk specialists will be here from the University Hospital and will see me. They will also conduct another ultrasound to check on my cervix and the amniotic fluid. The doctor is hopeful that I'll be able to go home tomorrow evening.
I get to take a shower this afternoon, and a wheelchair ride to go outside and get some fresh air is supposedly in the works. I haven't left the room since Friday afternoon, so I'm very excited about this. B is going to make a run home soon to get me a change of clothes and to check on Nanaa. He's going to go to work tomorrow morning at least. He'll probably work from home Tuesday and Wednesday, and then my mom is coming on Thursday to stay with us and help me out for awhile.
If anyone has read any good books lately, I'd love recommendations. Also, any recommendations for Netflix movies or tv shows, or tv shows on Hulu would be great! Love to you all.
