I had a doctor's appointment today. Everything looks good. My contractions are under control for now and I've been given the ok to take my drugs as needed. I still am required to not do anything, which is proving good for my health. My blood pressure was the best it's ever been! Amazing. I've formally requested my tubal ligation so we'll schedule that, along with the csection on Feb. 7. Bennett is measuring right on at 29 weeks and his heartbeat was strong. I asked my doc about being put on anti-depressants as I'm feeling quite down lately, so she put me on Wellbutrin. I'm hoping it will combat this feeling and prevent any PPD. I love my doctor, for real, she's the best. Now I just need to focus on staying calm and relaxed and hopefully we'll make it to 36/37 weeks gestation. What would be even better, is if we could make it to 38 weeks. I'm just not feeling too comfortable with delivering too early. I would like Bennett to be in good health so we can take him home. Thanks for all your wonderful thoughts and comments.

I took wellbutrin for a bit when I was pregnant. It did wonders.

OMG, for a second there I misread what you wrote and thought you were scheduling your C-sect for Feb 7!
Glad things are better, the Wellbutrin is an excellent idea
