I've been getting my cervix checked internally since 16 weeks. That's when i started going every two weeks and I haven't had a problem.



Regardless, that is TOO OFTEN!!! You won't have a problem.. until you have a problem if you get what I'm saying.

That is highly unusual for them to do this. Do you have an incompetent cervix w/ cerclage???

Pls do a little more research on this before you allow it to continue. It's for your own good

 

:banana: I glad it seems to be all good news!

Talk to your doc. about the checks. I had them bi weekly from 16-28 weeks by US wand and then a few times manually at 30weeks to delivery. Manually is MUCH more painful/uncomfortable, etc. They were watching for IC and monitoring due to high contractions...if you are having complications, early detection of funneling, cercical changes may make a huge difference in treatment! In our situation--I was on bedrest for 11 weeks, with litle cervix and contractions. I think my Dr was very proactive in monitoring if my contractions were affecting anything. I personally believe that the checks are one of the things that helped me carry as long as I did (32 weeks). I easily could have delivered earlier.

Your Dr knows best---if you are worried get a second opinon. EVERY pregnancy is different and only your Dr knows your situation.

Grow Parker and Charlotte grow!!! Glad to hear the good news!

 

a 3 oz difference for frats is great. My frats were 10 oz apart with no problems, perfectly normal.

Great appt!! How far along are you now?

 

thats awesome news!! FWIW my DD was a full week behind her brother my entire pregnancy and when they were born was a pound lighter than him...she was completely fine!

 

Sounds like your little guy is doing well....that is so great to hear! Keep up the great work Mama and keep us posted! Love the names too!

 

Thank You all....

I am 21 weeks and 4 days at this point and I think those weights seem pretty good...? I will follow up with the doc on the cervix checks just to be sure I should keep doing them.

I have been getting BH lately but nothing to write home about - seems like when I haven't had enough to drink they tend to act up a bit. I am working so much and am so tired all of the time, but no different then all of us on here right....

Again, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for caring so much about me and my sweet babies.....

 

How wonderful to hear that things are going well! :hug: Great names.

 

Oh Joanna, I am so thrilled that your little boy Parker is doing well. I will be keeping your family in my prayers. The names you chose are so beautiful, I love the name Jude!

 

Hooray for you and Parker! :Clap: Wonderful news!

 

I am so happy to hear that baby Parker is doing so well!!!!!



You and your family are in my prayers!
