No Work For Me!

So, here is my update. A couple weeks ago, I mentioned the possibility of going into labor early. Well, my last couple appointments even though the one test came out negative have shown that I am starting the process of labor. The midwife did not think I was dilated or if I was, only about 1cm, but I am about 50% effaced. I mentioned to her that I thought I was having some contractions- funny, but I wasn't really sure what they felt like. With Anna I really only had back pain/labor. Since I wasn't really sure how often these were happening, she wants to monitor me/them. So, next week I go in for that. She also mentioned she really wants me to drink a lot of water- apparently that can help prevent contractions and will help with some of the swelling I am starting to get. Finally, she doesn't want me to do a lot of lifting or be on my feet too much (I don't need to be on bedrest though). So, due to the nature of my work, and how these things are kind of impossible to accomplish, she wants me off work until I hit at least 35 weeks. I am also going weekly for appointments. So, that is it for now. Basically, no work for about 3 weeks.
