About Me
- Name: Sarah
- Location: Santa Monica, CA
Finally, this story has a happy ending. I have an incompetent cervix. First, you may wonder what asshole male doctor named this. I wonder too. An incompetent cervix won't support the weight of a baby. When I was 19 weeks pregnant with a perfect (according to the amnio) little girl my cervix opened up and she was born. She was just too little to survive. We were devastated. Learning that with my next pregnancy they can place a cerclage -- which basically sews your cervix shut -- we had hope. I got pregnant again, this time with twins. We never got to the cerclage as I miscarried at eight weeks. In August, 2005 I gave birth to a very healthy, beautiful baby boy. My pregnancy was without complications and the cerclage never had to do its job because my cervix behaved -- so well I had to be induced and ended up having a c-section. Fast forward a couple of years, I have an amazing son and tried for the better part of a year to get pregnant. Once we'd given up I got pregnant again -- this one ended in a miscarriage. "Not the best obstetrical track record" said my OB. No, indeed.

:-) That is so cool. When Ryan was still in utero, he would - I swear - run up the front of my belly and flip and then land on my bladder. Over and over and over. It's a move similar to one that Jackie Chan performs - thus he became known as "jackie."
He would also play "push push" with my mom's yorkie. I'd be laying down and Panther would come lay next to me. Ryan would kick out and hit where Panther was laying (flipped that dog OUT!) and then Panther would push back on my belly. Then Ryan would push...over and over and over....
It was rather amusing. Cherish this moving/remodeling feeling...strangely enough you will eventually miss it.
I loved that feeling... I would get nervous when I did not feel the baby move...
How wonderful for you!
