I haven’t been on this forum in 5 years, but came on just to respond to you, sweet mama.
My little miracle cerclage baby just turned 8 in January! EIGHT! Time seriously flies. I was diagnosed w IC at 20 weeks, dilated to a 4, 80% effaced w bulging membranes. One doc said there was no hope, so I got another opinion. The high risk specialist said “I can get in a cerclage but there are no guarantees. This is bad.” After the cerclage I spent 4 weeks at home on bedrest moving only to use the bathroom. At 24 weeks I was admitted for hospital bedrest where they said a. I was lucky to be because no one thought I’d make it that far and b. told me I’d be in labor within days. Well, I made it another 4 weeks before labor started. So my precious Kaleb was born at 28 weeks 0 days and we spent 74 days in the NICU.
I remember the fear and I remember the worry, but I also knew God was bigger than the circumstances, and that he had plans for my baby. ?? now here we are 8 years later and I have a 2nd grade. He’s reading at a 5th grade level, straight A student, plays guitar, loves church and school... he’s defied all odds his whole life, and your baby will too! Just hold onto hope, keep a positive outlook, and dont Google too much. Hang in there!!
PS me and my crappy cervix also went on to a twin pregnancy (that was wild) and they were born at 35 weeks.
