So I'll start at the beginning. Hubby and I got married on January 1st last year and got pregnant 5 days after we got married. We found out about 2 weeks later and we were thrilled. However, in early February we lost that baby at about 7 weeks along. Shortly after that the doctor decided to do some testing to figure out why I lost the baby. A pap smear was done in this process and it came back abnormal. I had just had a normal pap 5 months earlier so I thought for sure it was a mistake. However, it wasn't. I was diagnosed with a stage 0 cervical cancer called an adeno carcinoma in situ. The doctors performed a LEEP and then a Cone Biopsy to remove the cancerous cells. After the cone I was told the margins were clear. My husband was about to deploy, we weren't trying to get pregnant. However, a week after he deployed, I found out I was pregnant. I now see an OB and a MFM specialist. My doctor decided to place a cerclage at 12 weeks and my husband was brought home from deployment a week earlier and placed on rear detachment. So far, everything has gone well. I had a few contractions last week (16 weeks) but that's it. The plan right now is to remove the cerclage at 36 weeks. Due to the cancer and the fact that I don't have much cervix left and what's there is severely scarred, my husband and I are considering a scheduled c-section but we don't know when they would do it. We would honestly like him out sooner rather than later as I need to have a radical hysterectomy once he is born. When they did a follow up pap in late September, more abnormal cells were found. We've been advised that my best chance at this being over for good is to have a hysterectomy. Logan is our 5th child total, we each had 2 from previous relationships. We're happy with him being our last child. We just want he and I to end up being healthy.
