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.....

Limbo Land

High risk pregnancy is so much fun. It sounds like the doctors are not going to want to do the transabdominal cerclage (TAC), but we are meeting with the cerclage "specialist" next week, I think to make sure. Turns out people fly all over the country to speak to this guy, especially if they are considering TAC, and we didn't even know he is in our backyard, let alone in our own hospital. Anyway, there is now a worry that I am having contractions, which is pulling on the stitch and making it move. So now I have medication for when I feel cramps to soften my uterous. But what kind? I swear every tinge is a cramp? We have many ultrasounds and doctors appointments in the next few weeks and we send the cervix good vibes so that it stays where it needs to stay. Did I say I am a mere 16 weeks pregnant? Wowza.

oh, sweets, hang in there. perhaps I should say, oh stitch, hang in there.

lucky on the doc, my fingers are crossed.

but I too had a neck/shoulder cramp last week and nearly cut my own head off to stop the pain.

Who is the tac specialist? I'm in the same boat, cervical length is 2.9 at 20 weeks and after four days of rest is at 3 now but I have beaking. I lost my 1st baby at 14 weeks, not sure why but they are keeping strict watch over this since this could've been my reason for the loss.. So scared of the unknown and uncontrollables.
Thank you,
