Pregnant after 35
Appt. didn't go so well today...vent
Well I feel like I got one piece of bad news after another at my appt. today. First he mentioned that by looking at my u/s I may have a short cervix...what? Never had that with my son who is now 8 1/2...he said it may be nothing and the exam showed it looking normal, so we'll see and stay hopeful. Speaking of my cervix, I have a polyp on it, so he did some testing to check for dysplasia and we are waiting for those answers. He also talked about the large cyst on my left ovary (which is giving me no pain) and said they will consider laproscopic surgery to drain and/or remove it once I am 12 weeks. Thing grew like crazy in the last few months. Oh, and speaking of how far along I am....they said the u/s puts me one entire week behind what my last period does. I ovulate late in my cycle, so the u/s is much more accurate in dating how far I am than the last period. So now instead of being 10 weeks, I am actually 9 weeks. I feel like I have to do a week all over again and one more week of worrying about losing the baby. He also tried to find the heartbeat with the doppler and couldn't, which he forewarned me that he probably couldn't, but it still worries me. We saw and heard it at our last u/s two weeks ago, so I have had confirmation. And because of my lovely inherited hypertension, I will be under close observation and have bi monthly u/s to check for growth since it can be affected by the high blood pressure. Right now it is the best it's ever been, but he told me there is a honeymoon period for hypertension in pregnancy and then it all goes to heck in a handbag later. At least we are treating it and aware of it. I also get to do a 24 hour urine test...FUN. OK...just needed to vent and get it out. I left there feeling so defeated. Now it's time to stop sulking and start thinking positively. We have been wanting this baby for 7 years....I just wanted things to go easily. Once again, I just need to give it to God. Nothing is impossible. Miracles happen everyday. I have to believe this baby is our miracle. I am usually such a positive person, and that is what is hard tonight. Just feel defeated. Thanks for listening....

Ugh! Well, at least he's addressing issues, and paying attention! That's good, anyway, maybe?
I hope things look up soon!
This! Hang in there!
Everything in life worth having is difficult to achieve.
It's ok to feel frustrated that things don't always come easy, there are always ladies here that will be happy to listen to you vent and groan with you!
