Pregnancy books suck

I'm still at home, still bed-resting.

This weekend was pretty quiet (what, no raging parties in my bedroom??) and the critter decided to stay put. I continue to have odd twinges and sensations in the ute/pelvic floor/lower abdomen/hip flexor areas, and last night I did have 2 mild contractions. But nothing horribly painful, nothing organized, and it stopped. So I go to the OB later today for my scheduled appointment, we'll see what she says.

I'm hoping to get some clarity about the whole breech baby/scheduled c-section thing today at the appointment. I'm not sure how this will all work given the pre-term labor. If I can get that far, will they let me go to 37 weeks? Will they schedule me sooner? Will they even try an external version given the pre-term labor scare? I have no idea what she will say.

And this brings me to my latest bitch. Yet again, my pregnancy books are useless. Seriously, what a waste these books have been for me. I have been an outlier in conception, in pregnancy, and apparently now in labor and birth. These books talk about identifying early labor, and what they describe is NOTHING like what I went through. Sigh, I really should write a better pregnancy book, for the outliers. Granted, only a small percentage of people will find it useful (and it will scare the crap out of the normals, but that could be worth it right there!). And there is nothing really written in these books about pre-term labor. Nothing. So again, I'm googling for information. Pregnancy books suck, they are for normal fertiles. Don't waste your money.

So 34 weeks, 2 days today. Yup, I've resorted to counting the days too. Each day is a good thing at this point.
