I was so waiting to hear about your appointment and am so pleased it

went so well.

I agree with the dr about the contractions and your cervix. When I

went into hospital with the twins I was having contractions but the

dr's at first weren't concerned because they were all over the place

and went affecting my cervix.

Also with the SBR, I had a blood clot after the twins and was on two

heparin shots per day which wasn't nice. When you are laying around

remember to keep wiggling your toes and flexing your calves.

Did the dr say anything about the funnel disappearing?

Your message is the best news I've heard in ages, well done.

I will absolutely keep you and your little one in my prayers.

Love

Elaine
