Sandi - I don't know. And after my US I don't think I am going to be having one.
I went for my US on Tuesday, and the tech literally said pretty much this to me 'Well everything looks great, there is a heartbeat!............' *phew* 'but I will be right back'...I wait, she returns with a doctor. They don't look positive. The doctor begins to explain to me that my cervix is almost nothing, it's so short they cannot even measure it. They refuse to do an internal scan because they don't want to rupture my sac or hurt me or the baby.
They finish by saying 'there is just nothing we can do, but I called the high risk OBGYN to come down and speak to you and review the US'...I wait...they confirm what I was already told.
My doctor called me today (well my husband) and told him I have an abnormally shaped uterus (I am still shocked how this was not seen in the millions of ultrasounds I had with Marlow...I am going to assume, that they missed it because either both my pregnancies were more to the left side of my uterus and this one is more to the right...that it made it easier to see? Or they were too busy measuring my cervix with M and missed it). I have an Unicornuate uterus. Basically my uterus is smaller because of this and causing my preterm labor, add in my IC and PPROM...I will never see a term baby.
Not even a TAC will help. And they cannot repair it with surgery.
I am going to lose this baby, it's just a matter of when right now. =(
