My Cerclage

In September 2005, I was pregnant with twin girls. I lost my pregnancy at 19 weeks apparently due to my "incompetent cervix." I became pregnant again and wrote all about it on this blog. I now have a wonderful son. Since bed rest, anxiety and cerclage were so much fun, I've decided to do it all again.....

All Okay?

I think everything might be fine. I don't want to say everything is fine when it might not be, but it seems like everything might just be totally okay. We've had a lot of conversations, 1 ultrasound, 1 doctor appointment with a specialist, 48 hours on my "cramp diary" and the result is...maybe everything is totally normal!!! I love that my doctor is totally on top of things; truly I do, because every single option that we could worry about is checked out and micromanaged until it is not a worry. The only downside to this is that some things, like normal pregnancy twinges and pulling, turn into possible contractions for a few days and everyone (everyone meaning my husband, myself and our family) freaks out.

So where are things now? I'm sure the one, maybe two people who read this are dying to know. I won't keep you in suspense. The cervix (which we are still sending love and good vibes) is long and closed. Good! I had two stitches, it does seem like the lower one didn't hold that well, but the higher one is totally where it needs to be. This means I am like everyone who has this condition with a preventive cerclage. I have a stitch in a good spot, and at least for now, it doesn't need to be doing its job:)
