Scared

Hopeful Mommy - 09:51am Feb 24, 2010 EST

I have two doctor's appointment today. I went to the first one and the sonographer said that my cervix shortened to 2.2 cms and that the funneling has not increased. I am sooooo terrified. I have not done anything. I've been on bed rest, have a cerclage, and 17p shots. I'm only 16 weeks. All I can do is pray. Just had to vent.

Six Months Update

Well...today I am officially six months. They have started me on steroid shots. I had a shorter cervical length last week but this week it looked better so they sent me home. They would rather me be home anyway.

    Re: Six Months Update

    Glad to hear your cervical length was longer! That is great news...I hope it continues for you Will they do the steriods in 48 hours and then continue that on every two or so weeks? Or just a one time thing? Good luck!

    They gave me one shot yesterday and the second one today. The next round will be in a few weeks.

    I'm sure having a plan helps you feel better. Hope all goes well for you. 6 months is a great place to be...keep baking!
