Re: sadly leaving the bump
I am so sorry for your loss.
Don't listen to your doctor. When you're ready, look into a transabdominal cerclage. They cut you open abdominally, like a c-section and place a band around the top of your cervix, just under your uterus. They do this with women that traditional cerclages won't work on. You can have one placed either before or after you get pregnant. You do have to have a c-section in order to deliver the baby though, but I think that's worth it.
I just had mine placed about 4 weeks ago. Abbyloopers.org is a good source of information on the procedure.

i am so sorry for your loss, im on my 4th pregnancy right now my first pregnancy went great with no problems and and my daughter is 5 and a half, we decided to try for another one in fall of 2008 and i got pregnant right away and i miscarried a few months later. i felt like my heart had been ripped out i had already told my daughter because she had been asking me for a brother or sister for a couple years, i didnt tell her til about a week later and she ended up crying herself to sleep. i was scarred to try again and the doctor told me the chances are 1/4 and it wouldnt happen again. i got pregnant for the third time in july of 09 and everything was going good then i woke up and had horrible pain i ended up having my second miscarrage in october of 2009. it seemed worse than the first time because it wasnt supposed to happen again, i had gone to the OB a few days before and got to see and hear the heart beat and was told i wasnt going to leave the hosptial without a baby this time. i felt so horrible i didnt think i was going to be able to get over it, i was depressed and couldnt understand why? my daughter knew i had lost another one and she layed down with me and told me that the baby's were up in heaven with grandma shannon(my mom) and she was taking care of them. and to see that this time that my daughter was the one trying to comfort me let me know that she was okay with it. i just had to except it my self and know that it happend for a reason. I am now 11 weeks and 2 days pregnant its been a good pregnancy so far. all i can do is pray that everything goes right and be optimistic. I know how hard it is, and the pain seems like its to much to bare. people can tell you how sorry they are but it matters what you think and how you feel. you need to know that no matter what you couldnt have changed the out come, and forgive yourself if you have any doubts about that. know that god has a plan and it may seem hard right now, but it does get easier.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
