#prematurity

Yesterday was brutal. New, intense pain, and MFM giving me a lot of data but no clinical opinion to go along with it beyond, "Let's wait and see." My contractions have started -- Braxton-Hicks, or the real deal? Baby's riding low -- like, engaged for labor, or what? Amniotic fluid's high -- if that continues, we might have to induce.

Today, I was prepared to be scolded kindly by PT for not doing my exercises because I've been in too much pain. Instead, they suggested we move to weekly targeted massage, since the strain on my injured muscles is only getting worse. I could cry.

Saw my OB, who let me know that she feels most of my concerns are more attributable to a second pregnancy than imminent labor. And here's the thing -- she and I both know she could be wrong. But I'm so goddamn grateful to hear someone offer a genuine clinical opinion, I don't care. Anything's better than my own limited clinical impression of my data.

My modified schedule starts tomorrow. I start work an hour later. This feels like a huge blessing.

I will relish feeling human and hopeful for as long as it lasts.

Thought my water had broken. Couldn't think straight, saw two more patients, had several clinic members telling me to go get checked out. Finally, one of the MA's, seeing that I was spiraling, suggested I call my doctor.

It is very relieving to retreat into the patient role. And *of course* they told me to go get checked out, which meant canceling half of my clinic, but that's easier to do on doctor's orders. Husband came with, and had his whole own experience of being back in triage with prematurity anxiety.

I entered a protective mindset of "It doesn't matter what I hope, so I won't hope. We will see what happens next." Is that a form of repressing fear? Or is it acceptance?

I'm fine. My water had not broken. I went home and laid on my couch in a silent full-body scream for about an hour. I will return to work tomorrow. My bb will continue to cook.

I hate how fast it can all change. It makes me scared to do anything.

It's just another stressor. Throw it on the pile. Take care of yourself. Be kind.

Happy 2nd birthday to my friend's wee grandson, Ambrose Samiel. Born just a bit over a pound he now is thriving. The amazing strength of the premature baby shows God's grace and the humanity of the unborn to an amazing degree.

Keep fighting and thriving little man.
