First and foremost, thank you everyone for the positive thoughts, vibes, and prayers. That kind of support means a lot.
So I woke up spotting and having intermittent comtractions. I know spotting can be normal but when you are on pelvic rest AND have a cerclage there are just too many bad reasons for bleeding so I called the OB. She told me to head in and start getting monitored and she would meet me there to do a pelvic exam.
The monitors were able to pick up contractions i wasn't even feeling so that was a crappy wake up call. I had stopped spotting by the time the OB came in at least. She did the manual exam and determined that I am 1cm dilated and 60% effaced. Basically, the cerclage did it's work and I am back to zero (I was 1cm dilated and effacing when the cerclage was placed). She believes that my cervix is beginning to thin naturally with my pregnancy so it is beginning to go back to where it was when the cerclage was placed. Now we just keep it at 1cm until it's really go time.
She did see some more tinges and a clot near part of the cerclage thread. She thinks that what I thought were BH this weekend were actually contractions tugging on my cervix, which started pulling at the cerclage. So I am on two different medications now that are supposed to calm my irritable uterus (it's ok to giggle
@Wilburbud). If there is more spotting I'm to call the office while heading to L&D.
Our new plan is to just make it to 32 weeks. That is our new magical week. I am hoping to make it to at least Christmas. Hopefully the meds and strict bed rest do the trick. For now I'm at home until the OB thinks I need to be admitted.
