scared.
A copy of an email I just sent my family so I dont have to type it again.
Well, the good news is the baby is fine. The bad news is because of the surgery I had for my cervical precancer, my cervix is half of that (and therefore weaker) of a normal one, deeming me a high risk pregnancy. I've been told to take it easy, no lifting, no exercise and I could go into early labor if my cervix begins to open under the weight of the baby. Being only 4 months along, early labor now means we would lose the baby.
Im waiting for the high risk doctor to call me with an appointment. I should be going to see them in a week or two for an ultrasound and to determine wether or not they are going to sew me shut to try to save the baby. The risks with that are tearing and infection. I also have to now go see my midwife every two weeks instead of every four.
So, needless to say I cried a lot and Im pretty nervous about every little pain I have. We're trying to be positive but Im scared. I can feel him kick as I type this. Seems like he has the will to hang in there. The doctor said his heart rate was good and he's active.
Everybody "pray" we don't lose him.
