QUESTION

Dear Midwife,
This is my first post here and finally decided to write as I seek answers.

I am 19 weeks 4 days with our first child. I bled at the end of September and was told that I have a threatened miscarriage. I bled again at the end of October and was told that I will be having a miscarriage. Since October I have not bled at all.

I have had numerous ultrasounds and the baby is fine however, I have a shorten cervix. I was told about my cervix in the middle of November and again was told that I will have a miscarriage. I went for another ultrasound at the beginning and on Christmas Eve and still have a short cervix. Again the doctors told me I was going to have a miscarriage.

I have my next appointment on Thursday and am very nervous about the appointment. Sine my November appointment (when I found out about my shorten cervix) I have been on bed rest. I have suggested having the cerclage done and told me it wasn't a good idea because it is my first pregnancy. I then asked again at my last appointment and told me that it won't be safe to have it done.

I feel the baby moving, and not really having any pains but the only thing that I did notice in the past couple of days is this wave/pulse like in my lower abdomen/vagina area. (Will be asking the doctor on Thursday) I am not sure if it is contractions or what. Other then that I feel fine and but of course getting really bored and lonely in the house since there is no one home during the day and no one really to call because everyone is at work. At least I have the computer but even that, I can't sit for long period of time.

O boy, I wrote a lot. I hope that I can get some answers. What do you think about this odd situation? Has anyone every had or heard of this?
Thank you so so much
