I will be 23wks tomorrow with our second. We had a beautiful homebirth with our daughter with no complications. This time, at 19 wks we went for routine ultrasound and found I was dilating with bulging bag of waters. They did a cerclage and I spent 4 days in hospital with meds. Besides my "incompetent cervix", I also have an "irritable uterus" (such horrible terms).
I am on bedrest at home and can only get up to go to the bathroom and take a quick shower. I am also on progesterone suppositories. At my appointment on Monday, they found my stitch still holding but I was funneled to stich with bag bulging to stitch too. Doc says biggest risk is water breaking from pressure.
I have intermittent contraction throughout the day and generally feel uncomfortable in my low uterus when I move around. This baby is also very active, which seems to make it worse.
I am very concerned about taking anymore medications. But also very concerned about having this baby too soon. My anxiety is getting the best of me and I am constantly worried about my water breaking or my contractions dilating my cervix. Guess I'm just looking for some encouragement. I have so far to go...
