• I passed the nasty orange drink test.   And the nurse was extremely sweet & realized I'd been dealing with contractions.  So went & talked to Mary the other midwife.  They decided to do my internal then & there which was VERY nice.  She checked my cervix & it has changed a little bit (though slight)  I've officially been told No sexual relations.  (poor dh)  But no bedrest (yet)  And did a fetal fibernectin test.  Which will be back in 72 hours.  The test has a less then 10% failure rate.  And what it says is IF they find this certain kind of protein then I have a high chance of going into labor in the next two weeks.  If they don't...I just have an irritable uterus, and I can breathe a little bit.   We were planning on taking it next Thursday, but they squeezed me in today, so hopefully I'll have the results Monday.
