Kelly--eek! I'm so sorry about your shortened cervix. I am constantly freaking out about mine too, worried it's going to change before they catch it (possibly what happened last time--at 19 weeks it was fine, at 21 weeks I pPROM and delivered). That's great that they were able to do a cerclage, I'm guessing you had the Shirodkar since you have very little cervix? How did that go? I had my (preventative) McDonald cerclage done at 13w4d. I had a little discomfort for about a week, and since then have felt great. And I'm glad it sounds like baby A's heart condition is fixable. Still scary, but I'm sure everything will be fine.
AFM, I went to my OB last week for a regular checkup and had her swab me just to be sure I didn't have any infections. Well, I'm glad I did because I had a mild case of bacterial vaginosis! GREAT. Guess what that causes? pPROM! Which I'm already at risk for. So I took 3 days of Flagyl and am just hoping and praying that we caught it before it moved up to my uterus. She checked my cervix and said it felt great, no dilation or shortening. But she told a fib to the peri's office to get me in for another cervical length u/s for my peace of mind. (she told them she thought it felt a little shorter and she wanted to have a look! Have I mentioned how much I love my OB?).
So I went in this morning to the peri's office to have the u/s. Cervix is still measuring over 4 cm, even with pressure. The peri even smiled a little! (this guy is a total dud and had no heart when he told us we were going to have to deliver our last set of twins early). They did a quick abdominal u/s to just check for heart tones (both great) and she even wandered around a little to check out the babies for us. They're both still definitely boys! They were VERY active and were both head down, fighting for the presenting position. My mom said this was the first of many times they'd be fighting with each other to be first
I've only gained maybe 10 pounds on a good day. On Thursday (17 weeks exactly) I was measuring 21 weeks. She didn't say that was good or bad...I'm really trying to gain weight, but it just isn't coming very easily yet. I think I lost a little bit after the cerclage because I wasn't feeling the greatest. Hopefully I start to catch up soon!
Glad to hear everyone else is doing well! And Kelly--hang in there, they caught that shortening early and you'll be fine!
