Incompetent

I have been waiting all week for today, not very patiently I might add. An absolute nervous wreck! I had to be at the hospital at 8:30AM to have my anesthesia interview, and 11 at my High Risk OB office. I had another ultrasound (probably will be having them every single Thursday), and they found that my cervix really has not changed since last week. The Doc went over a ton of risks and concerns, and here I am not getting the cervical stitch tomorrow now! He of course had all sorts of statistics to tell me. There are cases where women who have the cervix stitch go into labor right away (EEEK!!!, there are about 40-50 percent who it will work for 4-8 weeks and then they go into labor, and there are about 10% who actually reach full term with it done. I am 2 days away from 19 weeks right now. They are giving me a lotto 50/50 chance that I go into pre-term labor before the baby even has a chance to survive. They are able to put the cervical cleavage in up to 23 weeks. The cleavage is no...

I am 18 weeks pregnant in a high risk pregnancy due to my age of 35. I never thought I would ever have children, and here I am battling my body to try to produce a healthy little nugget of a boy! I want to be so excited, this is supposed to be one of the happiest times of my life (and believe me, I am very happy about being pregnant!!). This pregnancy has been the craziest, most physically taxing experience ever, and I am only at week 18. Because I am high risk, my OB had me visit with a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist. They did the anatomy ultrasound on me to check the baby out. We found out we're having a boy! Everyone has been saying they thought the baby was a boy, and all I have been saying is that I don't care what it is, as long as they are healthy and happy. The baby checked out perfectly fine, but my anatomy did not. My cervix is incredibly short. I actually went through multiple ultrasounds and pelvic exams in one visit to determine this. I am being prescribed me...
