Follow up appt. today w/ Dr. Burrs after our dehydrated contraction scare on Mon ….. Ryan is a dance dance dancin’ machine. He’s kicking and moving and thumping like he’s putting on a show, so she gives him a clean bill o’ health. As for me, it is what it is.
Most women’s cervix are shaped like a cork for the uterus. This holds the baby in. Because I have an incomplete (we’ll use that term instead of incompetent) cervix, I don’t have that. All that’s standing between Ryan’s head and the great big world are the little stitches holding my cervix shut. Wow, pretty graphic.
Hence the heaviness and she said I can now look forward to more cramping too. Uhhhhh, ok. As long as he’s healthy, I’l do my part to keep him where he belongs. But we did get props for “growing him right” he’s a good size Doc says and is pretty responsive and has a pair of working and happy lungs. Yay for fetal development!
This is kinda scary and miraculous stuff.
