I'm 13 weeks today which means I'm about 1/3 of the way through my pregnancy. It's so weird to say that because I still feel like it's just begun.
I had a cerclage done last Monday. What a crazy procedure that is. They gave me an epidural for it... so as my OB put it, "now you'll know what it's like." Well, it wasn't all that much fun, so the knowing what it's like may actually make it more dreadful. It was a pretty decent pinch in my spinal cord. Thankfully the pain only lasted a few seconds.
The procedure itself wasn't bad, but it definitely was more embarassing than anything I've ever had done. Even the 3 surgeries and HSG and multiple ultrasounds were nothing compared to my numb legs hanging in slings well above my body, naked from my belly-button down, no sheets or drapes to provide a bit of modesty, a nurse vigorously washing my girl area. Wow.
Then it took not one minute short of 5 hours to pee afterward. They only discharge you if you can walk and pee. So I completely filled my bladder and then couldn't pee. It was so uncomfortable that I had the nurse straight cath me to get the liter of urine out of my bulging bladder.
Anyway, it's all worth it, of course. I'd do it again tomorrow if I knew it would potentially give my baby a better outcome.
That same day my DH was consulting with a colo-rectal surgeon in another city. He's having a total colectomy and ileostomy done in about 6 weeks.
Praising God in the good and the challenging times.
How are all of you doing?

Wow, that sounds like quite the procedure. But hopefully worth it if it provides the needed safety net and peace of mind. I bet you're glad it's done with. Best of luck to your DH for his procedure. And huge congrats for entering the 2nd trimester. Hope you're feeling well!

Hey, got your comment & question! They use a catheter that is threaded through your cervix into your uterus, which is attached to a syringe containing the sperm to inject the sperm inutero. Very romantic, huh!
