Until I am cut open and permanently sew my cervix shut. I am freaking out ladies...What if this is the wrong choice? What if I still lose another baby?
I still can't believe my only experience giving birth naturally is going to be knowing my babies were going to die. I am so pissed we can't get pregnant naturally, I am going to be terrified my entire pregnancy (if I get pregnant again) and I will have to have a c-section. So many out there get pregnant easily, have a care-free pregnancy and delivery. So NOT fair. But I guess life is just unfair.
The things we are willing to do...

you are doing everything possible to carry your future baby(ies) full-term, you are brave and amazing and so much stronger than you give yourself credit for.
i don't know why you have to have so much heartache cutie but WHEN you get KU again we will all be praying and pulling for you to have a safe, healthy full-term pregnancy

Thank you ladies - I have done a lot of research and consulted many doctors and I strongly believe this is the right decision but it is still so permanent and scary.
I just get so damn angry sometimes...
I am looking forward to two fun days in chicago before I check-in to the hospital though!

Living After Losing
I hear you! It just sucks all the way around. I can't tell you if you're making the right choice but I have heard alot of success with TAC. At least yoir choice will guarantee that your cervix holds. That is a nice feeling and will take away alot of stress, although we are going to be terrified no matter what in a future pregnancy.
I wish you the best!
