  • @Sugargirl1019  good luck today and keep us posted!

    How far along are you?

    19+4

    Give us a refresh: why are you high-risk?
    I carry an antibody.

    Any additional monitoring or testing this week?
    I had my Anatomy scan done yesterday.  

    Any concerns/news currently?
    Everything looked perfect at our scan but they think they found a tiny hole in baby's heart.  I will need to do a follow up growth ultrasound at 28 weeks to see if it has closed on its own.

    Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? 
    N/A

    GTKY: What time period would you choose to live in for the fashion, culture, music etc?
    60's!

  • @Sugargirl1019 I hope your scan goes perfectly today!

    @JustBored10 I hope the baby's heart will heal up completely by your next appointment. That has to be so scary. :(

    How far along are you?
    19+4

    Give us a refresh: why are you high-risk? At my AS, they found what appeared to be PUV in my baby's urinary tract. Another doctor that gave me a second opinion thinks it's a different, but related issue. Either way, my pregnancy is now considered high risk and I'm going to be having weekly ultrasounds.

    Any additional monitoring or testing this week? Just my weekly ultrasound on Friday and I am so nervous!

    Any concerns/news currently? Not anything new

    Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? Just that God will heal this baby!

    GTKY: What time period would you choose to live in for the fashion, culture, music etc? Probably sometime in the future, lol!

  • @Sugargirl1019 I hope your scan goes great today! Mine is on Friday and I am terrified. 

    @JustBored10 I will be praying that the small hole they found is nonexistent at your next scan. 

    @stephy_p I have been praying for your LO. It am glad that you are being monitored so closely. Good luck this Friday with your weekly ultrasound. 

    How far along are you?

    Give us a refresh: why are you high-risk?
    HBP

    Any additional monitoring or testing this week?
    My anatomy scan is Friday. I am really nervous which has been reflected in my BP readings this week. I am still keeping track of my pressures daily.  

    Any concerns/news currently?
    I felt the baby move a lot last week quite a bit, but this week I have not really felt anything. It seems that this is common, but it is so scary. I had a MMC with my first pregnancy where I went in for a scan and there was no HB. I just have to stay in the present and not let my mind get away from me trying to predict how things will go. 

    Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? 
    A great scan on Friday! 

    GTKY: What time period would you choose to live in for the fashion, culture, music etc?
    Prolly the 60s. 
  • @Sugargirl1019 Good luck with your scan! I hope everything looks great!
    @JustBored10 I hope the small hole is gone at your next scan!
    @stephy_p Sending good thoughts your way for you little one to be ok!
    @baileylove22  Good luck with your scan this week!

    How far along are you?
    20w4d

    Give us a refresh: why are you high-risk?
    I'm at risk for preterm labor due to short cervical length.

    Any additional monitoring or testing this week?
    After my ultrasound last week showed my cervical length remained stable for a week, I get to take a week off from appointments. I go back for another check next week on 4/27.

    Any concerns/news currently?
    Having a good appointment last week definitely helped with my anxiety, but I still worry often about the risk of going into labor too early.

    Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? 
    Continued stability.

    GTKY: What time period would you choose to live in for the fashion, culture, music etc?
    Maybe the 60s?

  • @stephy_p I've been thinking of you! So second opinion thinks it's something a little different? Did you hear back if an in-utero Stent could be placed?

    @baileylove22 It's normal for movements to wax and wane at this point! Perhaps baby turned and is behind the placenta now :) wiggly little thing :)

    @Rhubarb7216 Fx your cervix stays cooperative and even lengthens!  Do you know why they shorten?

    Thanks for all your thoughts :) I updated the Anatomy Scan thread with excellent perfect baby news, and posted some glamour shots of my little princess in the ultrasound thread :)

  • @Sugargirl1019, I'm not sure what causes the cervix to shorten. I was originally told my cervix was shorter than normal for that stage of pregnancy when I had my anatomy scan just before 18 weeks. At that point because it was just slightly shorter than normal (3 cm considered normal, I was 2.9 cm), my OB said it could be that I have a naturally short cervix or it could be that it's shortening prematurely and I could be at risk for preterm labor. She had me come back in a week and it had shortened to 2 cm. So she put me on progesterone and told me stop to exercising. When I went back a week later it was still 2 cm, so it seems like the current treatment is working. If progesterone is the treatment, maybe it can be caused by your progesterone being low?
  • How far along are you? 19 weeks

    Give us a refresh: why are you high-risk?

    Any additional monitoring or testing this week?

    Any concerns/news currently?

    Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? 
    That I don't kill my other kids during this pregnancy !! My hormone rushes are really angry this time around ): 

    GTKY: What time period would you choose to live in for the fashion, culture, music etc?

  • My first was born 7 weeks early we didn't know I had a short cervix and it was hard having him in the NICU for 2 weeks but he was born 5lbs 6oz and next month will be 1 and he's doing great like any other baby. So don't worry about it. You can't change anything that's going to happen and luckily for us if baby does come early we have all the technology to make sure little one is okay. But I do know how you feel and have to say it's harder than it sounds. I have to admit I still worry this one will come early too but shake my head at the thought and remind myself everything will be fine ! (:
