I am 28 weeks and 4 days today with GGB. I have thankfully had a very easy and uneventful pregnancy so far. I work full time as a RN in an ob/gyn clinic and even that has been going fairly well. Starting last week, I started seeing the peri twice a week for non stress tests. If the non stress tests were not reactive, then I would have a bio physical profile.

Anyway, today I went in for my non stress test and they ended up needing a bio physical because the 2 of the babies were sleepy. That all ended up fine, and each baby looked great. Then he did a manual exam and found that my cervix had changed. I am 50% effaced and the external os is open. My internal os is closed and I am not dilated. I also was not having any contractions on the non stress test. I was completely floored and was not expecting any cervical change. I am now off of work for the next two weeks at least. If my cervix stays unchanged then the peri may let me go to half days only if I want to.

My main concern is of course not work at all and I do not care if I go back or not. I am just very scared now and was wanting some support. I have had it in my head that I am superwoman and was not ready at all to hear today's news. Pretty unrealistic, but I was trying to keep that positive attitude going! I am looking forward to some time at home and keep these little ones cooking! You'll probably be seeing more of me now!!
