Hey ladies! I know I have been MIA. I started a new job and between that and dd it's been busy. Well I went to L&D on sat with contractions everything looked good cervix was nice and high and firm. Today I had an ultrasound and meeting with my MFM. Bad news. Baby is doing well but the membranes have started pulling away from the right side of my uterus (I have a bicournuate uterus and baby is in the left side) also my cervix has shortend and is softer. I'm now on progesterone suppositories in addition to the progesterone shots. She said they can't do a stitch in my cervix like they planned because with the membranes pulling away it would likely just rupture them all together. I'm 22 wks 4 days. She said our new goal is to make it to viability which would be 24 weeks. But even then the likely hood of her surviving is slime and the results from all the interventions they would have to take would likely leave her with sever, lifelong health issues. We have the option if she is born at 24/25 weeks of signing a DNR and just letting her go. I'm not even sure how to make a decision like that. Doctor said it's worse case scenario that we lose her and we should think of a plan just in case. I called DH crying and he ended up leaving work to come home and we talked about it. Doctor has me on weekly appointments and said I can continue to work and do bedrest when I'm not working but that if there are any more changes next week they will put me on bedrest. DH and I talked about it and he rather me just start bedrest now and try to keep her in there as long as possible. I'm just so scared and overwhelmed. If I end up on hospital bedrest I'm not sure what we are going to do with DD....Thanks for reading I know it's long I just needed to vent to ladies who understand.
