We finally got some encouraging news today for a change. Had an appt. with the MFM and my cervix remians closed!!! Yeah!!! He said there was no sign of bleeding and everything looked good so far. He also mentioned that this first week after having a cerclage placed was the most important week. I assumed from his comment that if the cerclage wasn't going to hold, we would of found out today or sooner. I'm taking it all as good news. He told me to keep doing what I'm doing which is basically nothing.
I was completely wiped out after getting up this morning and taking a shower. I had to rest before I could blow dry my hair and finish getting dressed. Yikes! I knew I would get deconditioned but I didn't think it would happen so soon. My BP was elevated at the MFM office but when I took it at home, it was better. Not sure if my BP machine is accurate or not but it always seemed to be. I think some of my high BP may be anxiety and a little "white coat syndrome". You can't help but worry that you're going to get bad news since that's mostly what Chris and I have recieved along this journey.
Next Tuesday we go for a cervical length u/s and then stop and see the MFM afterwards. He will decide then to release me to my OB and let them monitor my cervix but he wants me to have all my u/s's in his office so he can follow as well. I'm happy with this plan. It makes me feel like I've got 2 sets of eyes watching me and the baby.
