34 Week Appointment

Another quick appointment today. The doctor said everything still looks great! He also explained that 34 weeks is a pretty important milestone, which I didn't realize. He said if I had gone into preterm labor before now, they would have taken steps to try to keep the baby in as long as possible and used steroids to help her lungs develop quickly. Now if I were to go into labor, it's better for the baby to go ahead and be born than try to keep her in when my body would be trying to deliver her.  He also said that the nursery at Liberty Hospital is level 2 which means they'll keep babies 34 weeks and beyond, otherwise they have to send them somewhere else.
So while we definitely want this baby to stay in a while longer, it was very reassuring to hear those things!!
