Sorry it was so long between post. My first week of bed rest I boycotted the internet because Dr. Google was pretty much the Devil and had me in tears. Than our internet went down and I really wasnt in the mood to deal with it. .
Like the title says we our 21 weeks 6 days and still cooking so that's great news. I never really said why I was in Labor and Delivery a few weeks back. So I will sart there. After my OB appointment were I was told that my cervic had shortened I was prescribed Endometrin a lovely suppository and strict bed rest this was on a Thursday. Sunday morning I woke up and had a gush of discharge, I mean wet through my underwear, pj's and on to the bed sheets I freaked out called my OB and he sent me to L & B. The L&D OB came in and said she was concerned my water had broke. I was a complete mess. Thankfully it didnt and all the liquid was a reaction to the suppository. She did a cervix length scan and told me it was a 2.3 (not good) it was 2.9 just a few days earlier. Of course I started to cry and then the nice Dr. looked at me and said just relax at this point there is nothing me or you can do to change the outcome it they come they come. I mean seriously!! Im so over rude Dr's! I understand they need to be honest but is a little compassion to much to ask for? The next few days were pretty much a blur. I just felt numb. I had lost my faith. It was just such a reminder that my body is out of my control its like its not even my body. It brought all of are struggles right to the surface.
I have had 3 appointments since than 2 with my OB and 1 with the Perniatoligist we also had our 20 week scan. There hasn't been much change in the cervical length department but it has been ranging from 2.5 to 2.7 at each appointment which is good news. Our scan went great and both babies are right on target everything looked good with both. Baby B was a little deep in my abdomen so they couldn't get a clear picture of her spine so I will go back next week for that. The appointment with the Perniatolgist went good he was really positive he talked to me for over and hour. He let me know why he would not do a cerclage and after our talk I agree with him. He had a lot of great information and I left feeling a little more confident. The only thing is as he walked out he said Im confident we will get you to 34 weeks!
34 weeks!! Thats only a little more than 12 weeks away. I pray Im one of those ladies that magically carries twins to 40 weeks. (A girl can hope) He has me drinking 2 protein shakes on top of my regular food intake to help with the babies growth. It has taken everything in me not to google the heck out of all of this. Im not though! If I want to keep any of my sanity I am going to stay away and stay as positive as possible! My next appointment is Wednesday and my anxiety has already started to creap in. Praying there hasnt been any changes in the cervical length department.
If you are still with me Thank You for listening and please keep us in your prayers!

I have no doubt you can make it all the way to 40. You'll surprise him yet. Glad to hear after the scans both babies are measuring on target and your cervix is somewhat staying put.
I was about to send you an SOS message to make sure you were still ok! I'm so, so glad that those babies are doing well and your cervix is stable. Your MFM sounds like an wonderfully calming and compassionate man- just what you need right now! It's so hard not to stress out about things, but I've sworn off Dr. Google permanently. No one ever posts about the wonderful experiences, just the horror stories, and those are NOT helpful. Get the protein in, and know that my prayers are with you every step of the way!
Good to hear from you and to know things are still progressing! Hoping your cervix cooperates for a few more months!
