Update on my cervix
It's still pretty low, but not almost hanging out of me like it was. We think I probably had a mild prolapse pre-pregnancy and didn't realize it. My cervix has been kind of low this whole pregnancy but my midwife wasn't concerned at my last appointment. No bleeding or cramping and baby seemed fine. But I think a combination of factors pushed it over the edge yesterday. We had had sex the night before and (tmi) it was a little more vigorous than usual. I was up doing a lot yesterday and probably pushed myself too hard. And I was lifting V a lot yesterday. Then right before I discovered the issue, I was really constipated and strained to have a bm. All of that combined with my uterus getting heavier as I enter second trimester, and it was kind of the perfect storm.
The bad news is that I'm going to have to really take it easy for a while so it doesn't get worse. The good news is that it probably isn't going to affect the baby, and over the next few weeks, my uterus will get big enough so that it won't be able to slide below my pubic bone. Apparently it's rare for this to happen during pregnancy, so I guess I just got lucky. :-)
Sorry for the novel, and thanks for all the well wishes!

Re: Update on my cervix
So glad you got semi-good news! Tell your cervix to get back in the house where it belongs and stay there.
