I'm so excited to be doing this good. So far no cervical changes at all and the stitch is hanging in. My cervix is long and strong still. But guys.....this pregnancy is so hard...I feel emotionally and physically drained at this point. I just failed my 3 hr. glucose test...so ai have gestational diabetes..I'm going to the doctors office twice a week. Once for my injections and once for my cervical scans and dr. appointment. My body is a hey and tired...I'm can't sleep soundly...I'm have terrible heartburn every day...I'm constantly emotional and hormonal worried about my baby...thinking about my last daughter I lost. Working six days a week for part time hours and little pay.. My feet hurt...my body hurts if I try to grocery shop or do anything...I just finished my medication for a Uti.. None of my clothes fit me anymore...It's getting hard to bend down...it's hard to do anything...I can barely reach my butt to wipe lol. I feel so lucky to be able to get pregnant....and so lucky to make it to 30 weeks this pregnancy after losing my daughter last time at 22 weeks...but it's so so hard and frustrating. Maybe I'm just having a pity party today and feeling sorry for myself...I did just find out that I have gestational diabetes like two hours ago after a long day in the hospital..so could be just a bad day but....this pregnancy is so hard. This momma is losing her nerve a little. 😟

You are doing amazing! In addition to all the normal pregnancy aches and pains us IC mommas deal with intense emotions...it’s ok to feel frustrated. Just know this, it’s so worth it and we are more equipped than anyone because we’ve lost babies and had to fight for what we have! Soon, you’ll be ditching your stitch and holding that precious baby! You’re so strong, admiring you and cheering you on!!

Thank you guys, I was just having one of those days. So much stuff going on that it gets overwhelming. Only two more cervical length ultrasounds and then we switch to my doctor checking manually, my stitch comes out at 36 weeks and my doctor said that if my blood pressure is slightly high (it was friday) that I'll be induced at 37 weeks. which, even though it's only three weeks early sounds so soon. I'm excited for my baby girl and to be a mommy. I wish that my pregnancies were easier, some women are so lucky. But we all have our struggles and mine just happens to be the one thing I always knew I wanted to do. Some times it seems so unfair and I get down but every day I just try to think of my baby girl and that this pregnancy is temporary. And how much she will be worth it all. Thank you for the support. ♡

Woohoo 30 weeks!! I’m not far behind you- 26 weeks here and doing well! Also had my cerclage placed at 13 weeks and doing weekly shots and also lost my baby girl at 22 weeks. It’s definitely hard. I feel like I spent the first 24 weeks so stressed just to get to viability. And now I’m feeling super overwhelmed and like having anxiety bc I don’t have anything done!! But this is a blessing! Let’s try to not forget that! I’m sorry you have gestational diabetes. That is like the last thing you want to worry about! Try to stay positive and you’re bundle of joy will be here before you know it!! I’m here if you wanna talk! Best of luck.
