Yesterday was my 24 week prenatal appointment and I was not prepared for what I was about to hear. Two years ago I had a LEEP procedure done because I had precancerous cells on my cervix. The procedure basically cuts that portion of your cervix off so the bad cells don't multiply and it can regenerate new, healthier cells. A LEEP can sometimes cause complications with pregnant women and I guess I can be thrown in that group. My cervix was only 2 cm long and the doctor was scared that I might go into preterm labor. I'm not dilating so that's very good news. They put me on bedrest for a week and I have to go back next Monday to see if the situation gets any better. Something tells me that I'll be on bedrest until I reach full term, and if that's the case then so be it. I'll do whatever is best for my baby.
To think, in my last post I was complaining about not being able to go out and have fun, now I can't even go to work. I guess this is a good lesson to remain grateful for the things that you can do because now I can't even leave the bed lol.
On a happier note, the baby is going great! As long as I can keep him/her in there everything will be fine so the baby can have more time to develop. At 24.5 weeks babies have a good chance of survival but I want to make sure mine makes it far past that.
Here's the lastest picture! The little one was wiggling the whole time during the ultrasound :-)
