Ok briefly, im 20 weeks pregnant, this is pregnancy no 7 for me after 5 miscarriages and 1 beautiful baby girl (well 5 yr old now)
So not been easy had a bleed at 7 weeks, but over the weekend i started suffering contraction like pain, i was actually very calm and rode it out for a few hrs before phoning L&D and they advised that i come in straight away. They didnt do anything, checked heartbeat with doppler and sent me home after some progesterone shots. They told me to bring my 2nd trimester scan originally booked for 27/06/11 forward to yesterday which i managed to do. Firstly and most importantly the baby is absolutely fine, exactly as she should be.
Whilst there Doc decided best to take a look down there also, she mentioned that i have something called 'Cervical Erosion' she said i could have it treated after the pregnancy, it was basically
'just' cells from my uterus growing on my cervix and to google it! Is she mad? Does she not realise the dangers of setting me loose on google researching medical conditions, im dead and buried within 15 mins! Anyhow lo and behold im convinced i must have cervical cancer and its very serious. Why can i not just accept the facts which are, it appears to be a very common problem not at all dangerous and treatment is preventative to avoid further cell changes rather than to 'treat' the condition.
She has asked me to go back in 2 weeks so she can check my cervical length again which measured 3.9cm yesterday, googling it - 3.9cm seemed fine and did not suggest there was any shortening, however, asking me to return means she must be concerned with the possibility of shortening?!
She advised i take more rest, lying down as gravity when sitting or standing put pressure on my cervix, so to say this she must be concerned? i was so distracted yesterday by news of the baby being absolutely fine, i didnt ask the right questions and today im feeling very very concerned about the things she said to me.
Sometimes i really infuriate myself, im so paranoid, its ridiculous.:shrug:
