Welcome to any new lovely lady, and thank you for joining! This place is the only place I feel truly accepted, kind of like my online sanctuary lol
I pray all you ladies here on the East Coast are doing okay, and your friends and families as well. I live in NC, so my trip to GA was extended because of the weather, but we made it back safely.
AFM: My appt gave me relief but a little anxiety. Apparently my cervix was hanging down really low, like an inch from my vagina, so I wasn't going crazy. He barely put the speculum in, and could already see it. H pushed it back up though... t still sticks out though... He thinks that I had a cervical lasseration with my first daughter, but the doctors did not see it, so that MAY be why I went into early labor with my second daughter. However, he cannot say that is the reason because it it will always be one of those things that is a mystery. BUT, he is looking more closely at my case, and paying a lot more attention no that he has a theory. He also said my cervix was already shortening, which is what's scaring me
He suggested starting me on progesterone at 16 weeks and stopping at 36 weeks. For anyone who doesn't know, it is a shot you get on your butt once a week. lol So... um... yeah... Anywho, I am going to start those shots because it helps prevent pre term labor, and I want to rule that out. So I told him I will do anything to better my odds during this pregnancy. I am getting a passary put in on Friday which is supposed to help keep my uterus and cervix up more. Basically, my uterus keeps hanging low because of that suspected laseration with first delivery, so I will eventually need a hysterectomy.... I already knew I would based on my family history (all females on my mom's side has had to get it due to fibroids in the uterus, including my mom. So I already knew that would happen to me) I did not know it might happen sooner than later though since I am only 23. I pray this pregnancy goes all the way, and I will be happy with three beautiful babies, two here with me, and one watching over us.
At 15 weeks, he is doing a cervical length check to see if it is still shortening, and then that is around the time I start my shots. If it is shortening, then I don't know the next step, but he is a great thorough doctor that is going to do his best to keep my pregnancy going until I am supposed to deliver...
So, all of that info was relieving a doctor finally gave a me a possible reason as to why I had early labor, but it is not confirmed of course. I am also being watched closely now, so I am soooooooo happy. They are really taking care of me. I always complained about my uterus feeling so low during my last pregnancy, and was told it was normal... but now I see it wasn't
I hate that doctor just brushed it off, but I am blessed to have a great doctor now. So, it is currently a waiting game these next couple of months... I am so scared though because it is less than two months until I had delivered before... I know I have to think positive, but it is so hard, it feels traumatizing, I'm remembering what happened a lot more now. But I am just waiting for it to be January, and then I'll know that everything should be okay. I am not doing any major physical activity besides walking every now and then, just so I don't irritate my uterus and cervix. Please keep my baby in your prayers ladies
Well, I am dizzy a little so gotta go relax but I wanted to share my appt because I know some were wondering. But more importantly, I wanted to check on my ladies and see how everyone was doing. I hope you all keep doing good and can't wait to hear from you all!!!
ds2 and this baby I both found out at 13 weeks! We're sooooo excited! We had the tech tell our 6 year old first and then let him tell us :-D it was very cute. Her little bladder was full too she was about to pee pee haha 
Interesting about the yolk sac, I've never heard that one before either.
Sucks that hubby couldn't be there. Mine's missing all of the scans too but I'm videoing them and recording heartbeats etc and emailing them to him so he's as involved as he can be.
