This was my 6th pregnancy. I had
several miscarriages, then 2 losses
due to PPROM. ( Look for my other prom
stories on here...16 + 20 weeks)
Each time my water broke, my doctors
( 3 different ones) examined me and
told me I did not have an incompetant
cervix. After adopting our daughter,
we were suprised with a positive
pregnancy test. I had read on this
website that I should request biweekly
vaginal ultrasounds.
I made a list of all the suggestions
on this site and found a good high
risk OB. On my first visit she went
over everything and agreed to try
everything I asked.
We started bi-weekly ultrasounds at
10 weeks. At 17 weeks my cervix had
funneled FROM THE INSIDE! No wonder my
small town doctors kept missing the
incompetant cervix. It couldn't be
seen from the outside looking in. How
good it felt to finally have an answer!
I had a cerclage, and did weekly P17
shots. At 20 weeks I started funneling
down to the cerclage and was put on
strict bedrest. Then at 22 weeks, I
was admitted to the hospital for the
remainder of my pregnancy. I went into
labor 3 different times but it was
always stopped. Prolonged Indocin,
procardia and Magnesium sulfate helped
me stay pregnant for weeks. The day I
turned 33 weeks my water broke. They
ran antibiotic IV's and got me to 34
weeks. I delivered a healthy baby boy.
My third delivery and it was the first
time I heard a baby cry. It was
amazing!
I am so thankful for this
website.
NEVER GIVE UP HOPE AND DEMAND THOSE
BIWEEKLY ULTRASOUNDS!!!
