Today marks week 21. I received my shot today from my neighbor Kim. They were never really difficult to take but with the sixth shot, it is seeming more and more routine. Not that I like pain but when you are prepared and distance yourself with some breathing, it is a piece of cake. Also, I just think if I can't handle a shot then all that goes with delivering this baby is going to seem that much worse. You just do what you have to do.
I have found some links discussing Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the possible link in prevention/reduction of preterm labor. Many of the sites out there are medical journals which are password protected. There is not a ton of info but since there are no harmful effects, I am willing to give it a try. So far, so good. As I mentioned yesterday, I have had zero episodes of pelvic tightening and/or feelings of irritability. There is much research to be done and hopefully for the sake of the babies, this will prove to be an effective treatment option in the prevention of PTL.
