Things Are Going Well

Terri

I am currently 22 weeks and 3 days with a baby girl. Cerclage looks perfect the specialist said and so does my cervix. I lost my son at 23 weeks and 2 days so my goal is to get pass that hopefully. So far so good tho fingers are crossed. 🌸💕🤞🏾

Yay! That’s great news! How often did you get cervical length checks? So far I’ve only had 1 during my anatomy scan and had cerclage placed at 14wks. Anatomy scan was at 18w4d and cervix was 3.4cm and closed, doc said all is well and hoping it stays stable. From what I read online that seems to be on lower side of average. Next scan is at 22weeks.

No they haven’t told me the measurements. They usually just do a vaginal scan and show me the cerclage still in place. Yea googling stuff always make things worse lol I do not recommend it google will have u thinking u closed to death or something. Thank you though I think she’s fine it’s only a week but let my family tell it they on my head ..”you need to eat!” I gotten very closed to my doctors though after the lost of my son so they try their best to keep me updated we’re all celebrating the fact I even made it thus far. I’m sure your fine though if you weren’t the doctors would have you taking medication or doing more preventatives ... positive thoughts only love ❣️🤞🏽🆗.

Wow that’s great! Glad to see the cerclage is doing its job! Does your doc tell you your exact cervical measurement or they just say all is well and closed ? Mine didn’t mention my exact measurement but my midwife did and now idk if that’s good or bad cuz the of course I start googling :( hope all is well with baby and I’ve heard if it’s within a week it’s not too much of a concern since babies grow at different rate, but glad your doctors are taking good care of you and monitoring you to keep your mind at ease even though I feel like we start worrying again as soon as we leave their office. Keep us posted!

Thank you! I don’t get checks as much as I thought I would. I think every 4 weeks when I see the specialist they check my cervix. I just seen the specialist Tuesday and so far everything is still good.. cervix is still closed and appears long. The cerclage is doing its job. I have to see the specialist again soon though because she’s measuring a week behind. Other than that all is well I’m now 28 weeks and everything is pretty cool for the most part.
