I know I haven't posted in some time but my energy has not returned yet and work has been so busy! And I spend all of my free time on pinterest these days.
I had a cervical cerclage (my cervix was stitched closed) on Friday 01.06. It is still very sore. I was able to sit up after a few days but sitting is a hard thing to do these days. I find changing position often helps. So the cerclage stays in until 36 weeks. This seems a little crazy to me after delivering at 23+3. I am going to speak the high risk doctor at my next appointment (Feb. 7th) and ask what he recommends. He previously stated that we shouldn't shoot too low but he wanted to be realistic.
My doctor's appointments with the OB will be every two weeks now to check the cerclage and my cervical length. I also will start weekly appointments on 01.26 for 17P shots (to prevent pre-term labor). If you are keeping track, that is a lot of appointments.
The most exciting news perhaps is that we have an appointment for an elective ultrasound on Saturday to find out the baby's gender. I am perhaps a little early but the baby has measures four days ahead so we should be close enough. It am starting to get excited. I thought it was fun once we knew that Charlie was in fact a Charlie. I hope this will help me be more excited about the pregnancy as a whole.
I will be back after our appointment to post the big news!
You poor thing! To have that procedure and then all of those appointment does not sound like fun. But it is very exciting that you are so close to finding out the gender! I can't wait to hear! Any ideas on names?
