Hello Ladies,
I promise I will catch up on what's going on with everyone this weekend... Busy busy last week!!
So I had to go to ER Sunday around midnight due to my cervix hanging low. We already know it happens because of my prolapsed uterus but it was much lower and I felt pelvic pressure... I am 15 weeks and this is around the time these symptoms and other symptoms started before my delivery at 18 weeks so of course I wasn't taking any chances. At the ER they did pelvic exam and transvaginal ultrasound to check my cervix. I have a "veru uniquely shaped cervix" so one ob thought it was dilating
. BUT, she got her boss, and she checked and said it was closed. she measured it and it was still very long and very thick
I was put on bed rest until my Tuesday appt.
So tuesday appt same stuff. My doctor already knew he had to book an appt for me two weeks from now due to my history. I will be 18 weeks in about 2 and half weeks, so he knew I must be seen before that. My nex appt is dec. 11.
Okay, so wednesday, I started having tenser pressure down there, and was freaking out. The ob nurse booked me for thursday morning. This doctor was the one who delivered my last time, so I was glad i didn't have to explain anything. She was there with us the whole time. Okay so at that appt, she re checked everything, and said it was fine. But because of my prolapsed uterus blah blah is why i felt this. However, she wants me coming in every 2 weeks until i am 24 weeks to check my cervix. They are really being proactive with my pregnancy which makes me feel great.
Next thursday, and every thursday until 36 weeks, I get the progesterone shot on my butt... it helps prevent preterm labor.
She also ordered a 24 hr urine test because of my history of pre eclampsia. I also have to get a EKG sometime next week as well because of the pre eclampsia. My bp was high when I had an appt around 11 weeks, but its been normal since. However, she is not taking any chances, which is why I love her!
Last but certainly not least, My baby girl Chrisna Arianna's due date is coming up less than a week away... Dec. 5th. So you all can imagine the stress with my current pregnancy being around the time I delivered her last time, plus her due date coming right up. Double whammy I would say. Well, I am planning on making her special ornament on her due date, so I will be distracted with something positive and something dealing with her. I cannot breakdown right now. I cannot risk going into preterm labor again, so I am doing everything I can to remain calm. I am so excited for you all getting to be around 17 to 20 weeks. For me, I am trying to not think about it; still a bit traumatized. But please don't let me stop your celebrations, I will be here cheering for you all!!!
Jan. 3rd is my 20 week scan, and I will breathe a little knowing I got to that point. 24 weeks, i will breathe even more. 36 weeks is my goal for this pregnancy. I know its not "full term" but with my history, I will feel blessed to make it that far. This baby is super strong like their big sister was
Oh and each time I had to get seen this week, I saw baby and the baby looked beautiful and very active.
I have to finish my homework, but I will respond to you ladie's posts this weekend. Even if the conversation was a week ago! I gotta show my bump buddies some love
I'm over the moon excited now!!!!
