There is more backstory here than I care to write about. LONG story short, the hospital OB I had to meet with to consult about my VBAC wants me to start progesterone to prevent another (possibly earlier) pre-term "labor." The problem is, I didn't have pre-term labor. I had pre-term premature rupture of membranes. No labor. My midwives and MFM both say that my history does not warrant taking progesterone right now, but MFM wants an ultrasound now just to make sure my cervix is still long and closed. When my water broke last time at 36 weeks, my cervix was 100% effaced and 2cm dilated. That doesn't seem significant to me (I've heard tons of stories of people who dilate early and stay pregnant for weeks), but MFM says they want to see what's going on right now.
So that will be Monday morning at 9am (exactly 31 weeks).
In the meantime, I have had excruciating pain in my lower pelvis/cervix/vagina over the last 2 days. Like have to stop walking and brace myself until the pain is gone. I wouldn't say the pain is contractions - it definitely doesn't radiate up through my entire uterus. But I'm concerned. And relieved to have the ultrasound already scheduled for Monday.
