Postive fTN test

July 15, 2008

Well I had a Fetal fibronectin test done on yesterday and it was postive at 24 weeks..I have a follow up today at 2 45. I am now on complete bed rest..so out of work for the duration of the pregnancy..

I know that shelly had a post where she had a postive test at this point or close to this point..if anyone knows or can find it can bump it for me i would appreciate that..I was just curious..

I know that i have potential to go into labor but with bed rest and following dr orders i am sure i can hold off at least until 32 weeks that is only two months..

Well so i guess i won't be on too much but to check in and stuff on people..So i hope all is well with everyone and i will update after today's appt!! Take care

Awww sorry to hear you're on bedrest now, hopefully you'll be able to keep busy with the laptop and the rest of your pregnancy will fly by :)

Hey there - yes i got my positive at 23 1/2 weeks. listen to your doc and obey the strict bedrest - i ended up making it to 36 weeks! it wasnt easy but so worth it. also 2 days after i got the positive i went into labor --- the were able to stop it. soooooo listen to your body - if you question anything - go in!!!!!!

let me know if you need anything!!! it will all work out just fine - stay off your feet!

LOL Kanetra You are sooo funny and i was thinking the same thing..LMAO...Shelly thanks so much for the encouragement..my fiance has brought me some movies that we were meaning to see.. so i shuld be okay..I went to the dr today and they did a re swipe because i was getting over a yi from last week and they wanted to make sure that did not affect it..i will get those results back tomorrow..since i went in late today..but she said bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy..i will post you all wiht up dates..i go back in on friday for a cervical check just to make sure it it still closed today it was closed but she said soft..so i am trying my best to stay off my feet..take care ladies and thanks so much for thinking about me..

July 16, 2008

Well ladies my Dr called back today and stated that the fTN re swipe came back negative..She said that since i was still having a little discharge from the yi that it could have caused the test to be positive. I had finished my last rounds of the medication that thy gave me on sunday night and went in for the test on monday afternoon..so i think that influenced it..she said that she got a verbal from the lab that it was negative but when she gets the actually results back she will confirm with me..

This is a great relief and i was kind of hoping that it was just from the medication and the yi discharge..i am so thankful for that.,

So i am still on bed rest for the duration of my pregnancy because of the contractions and because she said my cervix was soft..so i wil go back in on friday at 2 for a cervical check again just to make sure all is well..

thanks so much for all you ladies and supporting me i really did need it in the last couple of days..take care guys

Hi dear! Keeping you in our prayers and yes listen to your dr and like Shelly wrote strict bedrest!!!!

July 18, 2008

OH Summer- thinking about you :-) Those girls are letting you know who is in charge already :)

July 18, 2008

Summer!!!! Take care sweetie! I will say a little prayer for you and the little ladies! I'm sure bedrest is so difficult, but like SHelly said it was so worth it to have healthy babies! Hugs to you.....you're amazing and you can do it!

Take care sweetie and enjoy the bed rest the best you can. That cant be easy im sure. Sounds fun but im sure it has its pros and cons...hehe. We are all here to chat with you though and to keep you company. Wish we could all take turns to help fiance more your set up from place to place but I guess he can only do that, just let him know we all wish we could help in someway, and if thats all he has to do then to suck it up...haha...kidding. My hubby gets tired of me at times forgetting stuff upstairs or downstairs and me being winded and not being able to go back and get it, but he does it, and just laughs. Still trying to get used to having steps again, it sucks forgetting stuff...haha.

Wishing you the best as always and keep those little girls safe in the oven, and im wishing you lots of rainy days so you can get lots of rest :)

July 21, 2008

Just enjoy...I know that seems hard! ha! but you won't be able to kick back and rest for a little while after the babies get here! ...read War & Peace, that's what my mom did while on bed rest with my sis & I (twins...) ;)

July 21, 2008

Awwww Summer I hope and pray those little angels stay safe and sound for a little while longer.... We love ya girl and are here if you need to chat!!!!

July 21, 2008

Thanks so much ladies this is a big challenge i am just glad that second test came back negative. The bed rest has slowed down the contractions big time..I have only had a bout two of the braxton hicks and that was on yesterday and i have been on bed rest now for a week..so i will keep it up what ever is best for babies..again thanks so much for the nice words it means alot..
