Just got back from the doctor. My cervix is still closed and Dr. B is running my final FFN test! We should know the results tomorrow. She's very happy that my cervix is still closed and said Jaxson's head isn't pushing down on the cervix yet which is good.
He is measuring small and is almost 2 weeks behind in his growth but she said it's something we will have to keep our eye on and see if he catches up. Brody wasn't very big either so I'm trying not to worry about it. He's estimated to weigh 3 lbs 8 oz.
I go back on Monday for another growth scan and will go again the following Monday. We will check his growth weekly from here on out to make sure he doesn't get further behind.
We will also continue what I'm doing with the terb pump and bedrest.
Until next time,

Great news about your cervix! Hopefully this fFN will also come back negative. Could the Lovenox injections have any affect on Jaxon's growth? I'm just curious. I remember Brody measuring behind, but he did continue to grow until delivery, right?
Hope you will have another good week!
One more question... how did Brody age an extra month??? :)
I happened to notice your ticker says he's 1 year, 7 months, 2 weeks and 6 days old. I was like gosh the boys are growing up faster than I even thought :)
Hey Ashley! The lovenox won't affect Jaxson's growth but the reason why I'm taking it is because I have Factor 5 and that can cause IUGR(growth restriction). The lovenox is to try and prevent this from happening but it doesn't always work. I could be forming small clots on my placenta which would restrict blood flow to Jaxson. This is what we are watching for.
Thanks for answering me :) I knew about your Factor V, but I did not know it could cause growth restriction. I hope the next scan will show he has grown more. You really do not need anymore complications thrown into the mix!
