Hi, first I like to introduce myself im 10 weeks as of tomorrow. This is my 2nd my son is now 7. So it's been a long time since I've been pregnant and I kind of feel like I'm going through like its the first time lol. But the reason I'm posting is because i have a question and I'd like to get opinions from everyone that can help. When I was pregnant w my son I bled a little around 13 weeks then just a couple days shy of 24 weeks was hospitalized due to preterm labor. I was totally effaced and about 3 cm dilated with pressure my water bag was also protruding through my cervix. He was head first and ready to come. I was then placed on bed rest given steroid shots, pretty much the whole 9 yards. I spent 3 weeks straight on complete bed rest couldn't get up at all had to take sponge baths and pee and poop in a bed pan (sorry if tmi). I spent a total of 2 months in the hospital. When I was 8 months they let me out, remarkably my cervix grew a little and I was given meds to stop labor to go home with I made it to 36 weeks and 6 days and had a healthy boy. Now that I'm pregnant again I'm terrified that I will go thru the same thing again. I'm hoping that bcuz it's been 7 yrs I have a great chance that I won't go thru it again. They believed that I went thru it before bcuz of having dysphasia and having a cryo ( freezing my cervix) procedure done at 19, I gave birth at 21. Since then I'm in great health and get Pap smears done every year and all is normal.
My question is has anybody went through this first and 2nd time? Or just first but not 2nd or vise versa? Or if u think I have a gd shot of a normal pregnancy being that its 7 yrs later? Having to ask everyone cuz drs won't tell me much just basically see how it's goes but in my mind seeing how it goes is not worth my baby's life.
Sorry so long just really like everyone to know all the details. Thank you looking forward to hearing from everyone/ anyone.
