My Update (PG MENT)

[Guest guest]

Hello Ladies,

I just realized how long it has been since I sent an update, I've been

so busy with the school year starting. I've found it very hard to get into a

routine but I'm slowly starting to feel like it is all coming together.

My pregnancy continues to go very smoothly, and I am still going to the

peri every other week for cervical measurements and abdominal u/s. Last week

when we were there, the tech that was doing my cervical check had never seen

me before and she couldn't find my cervix. Then, when she did finally find

it she had a worrisome look on her face but wasn't saying anything so I

asked her if anything was wrong. She said it looked my my cervix had

shortened considerably to just under 3cm. Needless to say, DH and I were

very nervous!!! Then, the tech said, " I don't think this is right, let me

call in the doctor. " When the doctor came in, she immediately told the tech

that she wasn't looking in the right spot and was only measuring a tiny

portion of my cervix. The doctor moved the probe and measured the whole

cervix. She just smiled and said, " No change in your cervical measurement! "

My cervix continues to measure >4cm!!! So, DH and I breathed a huge sigh of

relief! The baby now weighs over a pound, 1lb 6oz. So that really felt like

a milestone! I continue to feel great, just tired. That first trimester

tiredness never left me. I've mentioned it to the doctor and they've done

blood work to make sure I'm not deficient in any area and also re-checked

urine samples and all continues to come back clean and normal. The docs just

say that it is just the way my body handles the pregnancy. Since that is my

only major complaint, I consider myself very lucky! DH and I are starting

our first Lamaze class tomorrow and we are very excited!! This is really

starting to feel real and that it is really going to happen.

I wish all the best to everyone on this board. Have a great weekend!
