Sorry if you're seeing this twice I wanted to post in a few different places and get opinions:
I'm 16 wks pregnant with my 2nd baby. 10 years ago I had a LEEP performed to remove abnormal cells from my cervix (knowing what I know now I would have NEVER allowed this). Cervical procedures are one of the main causes of IC. Last pregnancy I was worried about it and had a few transvaginal u/s's and everything was fine. I switched from Ob/Gyn to midwife at 20 weeks and didn't have anymore u/s's. My baby came past her due date and everything was fine. It wasn't the easiest labor and I'm wondering if this could have caused more damage to my cervix? Also if anyone else has had a procedure and experiences in subsequent pregnancies? I don't know if I'm more likely to have problems this time or if it should be okay because it was the first time, and I'm not finding much info on having an OK 1st pregnancy and possibility of problems is 2nd pregnancy.
I really thought I'd be more chill this time around. Last night when laying down I felt a lot of pressure and could literally feel baby in a big knot and it seemed kind of low...it got my mind racing. Now this could have just been baby changing positions but of course I start worrying. I'm scheduled for my one u/s at 19 weeks I'm wondering if I should just wait until then and ask them to check my cervical length or if it's something that would need to be addressed sooner?
