35w, 6d

Today was rough. The last few days I've been feeling worse and worse, and today it just seemed like if I added them all together, it looked A LOT like the list of pre-e symptoms. That combined with gushing that felt like my water had broke, I ended up keeping Bill home and going to get checked out.

What I ended up learning is because I don't have high blood pressure, they're not concerned with pre-e. They do want to make sure I get rid of my migraines in the next day or so, and to let them know if I have more gushing. So far they don't think my water broke, but there's always a chance that it could be a high leak instead of a low leak. Since I've had no problems since, I'm assuming it wasn't my water.

Apparently I'm losing a lot of my plug though, which they said is probably where the gushing and constant wet feelings are coming from. They also said it seems like my cervix is softening and changing, which would account for the mucus plug, the contractions, etc. She didn't actually check for dilation though, so I don't know if that's happening yet or not.

I got my GBS test done today, so I'll have the results at my next appointment, which I think is Monday.

Hopefully, I don't have another one of these scares again because Bill can't take off at the last minute like this again, and I definitely don't like the idea of having these kinds of scares and going without him. Actually, I don't like going without him to any baby appointment!

As of tonight, I have only a minor headache, lots of nausea, and lots of cramping/contractions with stabbing cervical pain - the last which is pretty much an every day thing at this point. Hoping tomorrow I'm able to eat a bit better and feel less yucky. Maybe if I can get rid of these symptoms, I can feel more tolerable of the rest of pregnancy. Only 29 days until my due date - yep, I'm in THE TWENTIES! WOW! How in the world did that happen? I thought 31 was big, because that's one month. But having only 20 some days left? It's a whole different level of "holy cow!"
