Pregnant after 35

Yesterday was a day of high/lows

I'm Inn, nice to meet all of you.  I was visiting this board at the beginning of my pregnancy when it wasn't sure this pregnancy would stick.  Then the bumps smoothed out and I let myself relax.  Fast forward to yesterday...

A/S exam (I'll be 21 weeks tomorrow) was yesterday.  First part went so well.  Baby was pretty cooperative and looked great.  We are still team green, though the tech was teasing us that she definitely knew.  Then she did my cervix exam and after that said she'd be back after the radiologist viewed the results.

Next thing we knew we were being ushered to one of the doctors (my regular was not working that day) and being told that my cervix is too short.  Way too short...barely measuring a 1.  As my husband and I are trying to process what this means, I'm receiving a second ultrasound which definitely shows funneling, being told I'm on bed rest and to quit working immediately, and finally that they have me seeing a specialist on Monday who can tell me more.

First baby after 11 years of trying and infertility treatments.  We'd given up on a baby 2 years ago, so to say I'm scared is an understatement.  Baby has been kicking all morning and my husband actually got to feel.  I keep trying to hold on to these awesome moments but it is a struggle.

Thanks for any support and prayers...oh and for reading my diatribe!

  • Hi and welcome to the group!!  Glad that baby is doing ok, sorry about having to go on bedrest and see a specialist.  You might want to check in with the High-Risk pregnancy board, I think there are many ladies there who have a shortened cervix.  I think they also have a daily check-in for those on bed rest.  GL!!  Will be praying for you and your LO!!
