Follow-up appointment

Luckily the FFN test was negative, thank god. However, I asked the doctor about whether, if the test was negative, this just meant i had to stay on bedrest until i go into labor, hopefully at 37/38 weeks, and she gave me this sad look and said that I wouldn't make it that long, that i would definitely go into preterm labor at some point, it was just a question of when. She said right now we just have to focus on getting to 28/29 weeks, then reaching 32. 34 would be better, but she clearly didn't want to get my hopes up.

I'm just really sad because I truly believed in my heart that we wouldn't have any problems, and that they'd need to induce me at 38 weeks or something to get these babies out. I'm 28, active, healthy, no history of any kind of medical problems, so this is just a huge shock. I'm beginning to wonder if the peri missed something at my last appointment, like there had to be some sign that my cervix was starting to change, because it just seems so crazy that it changed so much in such a short amount of time.

Anyway, the good news is that I feel fine, and the babies are still cooking. And Larry is taking great care of me. I guess now it's just a waiting game...
