About incompetent cervix!
Okay, maybe I read too much about stuff that could happen. I've found out that incompetent cervix happens in 1 out of 100 pregnancies. Around the 13th week, the cervix slowly dilates - without symptoms until the water breaks - and the baby is born too soon to survive. One of the risk factors for an incompetent cervix is a D and C - which I did have last year. And incompetent cervix isn't diagnosed until after one or more second trimester losses.
Why am I freaking out over this? I'm definitely asking Dr. S. if he could measure my cervix - just to be sure - at my next appointment (June 23).
On a happier note, we have our BIG U/S on July 7. Can't wait!
Hello world!

I'm actually worried about the same thing because I had a cone biopsy a few years ago. My doctor checked my cervix last time and told me not to worry.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you're having!!
Thanks for all your support over on my blog! I really appreciate it! I think that you should ash your doctor EVERYTHING!!! I have never heard of incompetent cervix, but it sounds awful.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for your next two appointments!
