Baby Update

by Melissa McCarty on January 30, 2012

Hello all!

I am currently 35 weeks pregnant, 5 more to go, however recents events have suggested that I won’t make it that long. I am already 4cm dilated and I haven’t even experienced any real contractions yet. I have been put on bed rest to try and slow things down. If I do actually go in labor the baby is far enough along that everything would be fine, however we are hoping she can hold out for another two weeks so that I can deliver at the birthing center with my midwife as planned.  If she is born before 37 weeks she would be premature and have to stay in the hospital. Our first concern obviously is that she is born safe and healthy no matter where, but we are praying she will hold off those two weeks so we can deliver as planned and not have to stay in the hospital. Please keep us in your prayers these next few weeks and urge Winter to stay put! 🙂

We will be praying that things will slow down so that you can meet your goal of the proper number of weeks. Grandpa Tom
