Complete placenta previa with a bleed at 25 weeks so now on modified bedrest at home for the duration of the pregnancy (after a brief stay in L&D at 25 weeks).
I voted for incompetent cerxix, but I am also on bed rest for preterm labor. At 22 wks I went to the hospital for PL and there it was discovered I was dilated 2 cm and had my water bag bulging out. My MFM did an emergency cerclage. Today I thank God because I'll be 33 wks tomorrow with a cervix measuring 1 cm but holding on thanks to the work of my MFM's stitching=)

1. Baby diagnosed with Posterior Urethral Valve Obstruction (PUV) - which means that a membrane in the urethra didn't pop, so we had in utero surgery to insert a catheter/shunt into the baby's bladder so that it could drain into the amniotic sac - no fluid was present before we did this.
Originally when I first got pregnant I was high risk because:
1) I was AMA (Advanced Maternal Age-35 & over)
2) I had high blood pressure when DD was born (didn't get diagnosed until I went into early labor w/her).....I've still had the blood pressure problems since, but am on medication which has controlled it wonderfully
I voted for "other" I haven't even seen my Dr. for this pregnancy yet - I'm trying to treat this as "normal" as possible at least for now. My first baby was stillborn (due to some midline defects) then I had an unexplained miscarriage. With DD I had a short cervix and GD. This time I'm hoping that we won't have any "extra complications" but I will be 35 in a month, I'm sure I'll have GD again (I failed the 1 hour test with my first pregnancy but never got far enough for the 3 hour in addition to having it with my DD). So...I see a High Risk MFM but he hasn't seen me yet this time around. This board was not around that I remember when I was pg with DD.
