Fetal Fibronectin Test

I had a fetal fibronectin test done last Wednesday at my appointment and called today for the results. It was negative! The test can tell if any fetal fibronectin as leaked down yet (it is kind of like the glue that attaches the fetal sack to the uterin lining--it starts leaking down prior to delivery)--since it was negative that means it's not leaking and I am therefore not going into labor for the next 7-10 days for sure after it was taken (or obviously possibly longer) and it gives a 95% likelihood of not delivering for the next 2 weeks. So the 2 weeks gives me until mid next week! I'll be 32.5 weeks by then! I then have another appointment next Wednesday so I'll get checked again then. I still have to remain on strict bedrest as a 32.5 week baby is still not ideal. I can't believe this baby will be later than Layla! We've been worried this pregnancy that RV would come much earlier than Layla and now he's later! I'm sick of bedrest, but am so happy that RV is staying in longer and that he will therefore most likely have a shorter hospital stay than Layla had! Praise God!!
