Baby update

I went to the Dr today, i am 35 1/2 weeks, and i was really nervous because i have been having contractions the last couple days and i DO NOT want this baby to go to the NICU for ANY reason! I felt like it was too early to be feeling anything. Well we went and he checked me out, i am a 3 and 80% thinned, I was kind of panicing until he made me feel a TON better!

#1 he said even though i'm starting to progress, it could be a couple weeks still. Or it could be any day. It's hard to say. He did tell me though that at this point he does not agree to stopping labor because he feels like if the baby wants out, it wants out for a reason. He told me to just 'take it easy' but did not say bed rest. He even said i could still go to the gym! Well this was what he said.. "If you are going to go to the gym or have intercourse and then feel guilty if you go into labor, then don't do those things, but i do not think that either of those things cause labor"
Sooo... those were exact words, sorry for being graphic :)

Ok so back to what made me most happy..
#2 he said that at this point if i had the baby today the chances of him going into NICU are only about 30%, but in saying that he also said it's impossible to know what ANY baby will do when they get here. BUT i felt a TON better with that cause i thought for sure a boy before 38 weeks would be in NICU. I would still like to make it to March, 2 weeks from today is March 1!

Wish me luck.........
