Hi, I've been lurking for a while and finally feel ready to join in. I am currently 8 weeks pregnant, and have a diagnosis of incompetent cervix. I am seeing an OB, who works with an MFM. I've seen them both already. I had an u/s on Monday and measured 7w 6d (1 week behind based on lmp, but have longer cycles, so was expecting to measure behind. My edd has been moved to Nov 23. I'll be getting a transvaginal cerclage placed at 14 weeks, and praying that it holds.
A little about me: I'm 26, married and a Canadian. I love watching Hockey (go Canucks!), reading, and Then Comes Family. DH and I have 2 female guinea pigs, named Stef and Andy after two characters in our favourite movie.
Here's my story: (losses mentioned) After marrying in 2013, I got pregnant very quickly. That pregnancy ended up being a blighted ovum and I miscarried at 12 weeks. I got pregnant again a few months later and things were going well. I had my a/s at 19 weeks, 1 day and baby was healthy. My cervix looked good, and I thought we had reached the safe zone. A few weeks later, I noticed my underwear were damp, and after 2 days of dampness, I called my midwife and she had me go to the hospital. I was 21 weeks, 4 days. They did an internal exam and saw that my cervix was a few centimeters dilated and my membranes were bulging. I was admitted and on modified bed rest (some doctors said rest, some said it didn't matter if I was active or not, it wouldn't change the outcome). They couldn't do a cerclage because of the leak in my membranes. My water broke at 22 weeks 2 days, and I delivered my son at 23 weeks. He was born alive, but passed shortly after as he was still too little.
