The good and not so good news

I went to the doctor today. First of all, the good news...the baby is doing fine. Heartbeat and measurements were right on, however, I don't know what they are because I began telling the doctor about how many braxton hicks contractions I have been having. Last night I had 10 BH in an hour and a half. Anything over 4 is not good. She told me I should have called then, however, we all know how I don't like the doctor, so I waited till today. Well she was obviously concerned and asked what i was doing at the time. I explained I was laying on the couch. I actually drank 8 glasses of water, so that wasn't the problem. So she decided to do an internal examine to see what was going on. (Now comes the not so good news) She said that my cervix is thinning. It is not dilated but she is concerned that it is thin. She also said that the baby's head is already in position. He is resting and my pelvis and she could feel it. So, basically she told me that I need to go get an internal cervical ultrasound tomorrow and we will go from there. She said they would be able to tell me right then if everything is ok. If it is, I go back to see her next Wednesday. If things are not ok, she will call me and discuss what needs to happen. I may have to go on a restricted schedule or bed rest. I am definitely not ready for that! So we go tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. and hopefully will know something pretty quickly after that! I will keep everyone posted! Please keep us in your thoughts tomorrow!
