Update, home from doctor
Saw the doc this morning, and he said my body defintely does not want to be pregnant anymore. He said his hopes is I can make it to 36 weeks (4 more weeks) but he isn't sure how likely that is. He wants me on very strict bedrest (been doing that for past few days), and to force hydration. He doesn't even want me having normal BH contracts if I can help it so I am to stay in cool, dark place and drink drink drink. I have been drinking fluids, but not enough I am still dehydrated (thank you Phoenix, AZ)
As for Jaelyn's heart he said she is healthy, but isn't tolerating what my body is putting it through. He said when her heart was racing, it was due to the Terb they had given me. She doesn't like it anymore than I do. When I would have my strongest contractions, her rate would drop because she isn't tolerating those yet either. So he wants me to do ANYthing and EVERYthing I can in order to 1. Avoid contractions increasing in strength and 2. Avoid needing to take terb because once I have used it for a week, it will no longer work.
Good thing is, I am not dialating. So my body hasn't changed in that aspect and I am still useless when it comes to progressing. Downside is, baby can't handle the contractions eventually he will just take her out like he had to with my Jordyn. Jordyn was 32 weeks and 4 days, and was 5 pounds 2 oz, he told me not to count on that twice and to do what I have to to keep this little girl in as long as possible.
