short cervix part two: no good news

Yesterday April 3rd i woke up feeling great. It was my birthday and i was going to celebrate with my family. I got a call from my doctor that i have a short cervix and i need to go to the hospital right away. Long story short i found out that i have an incompetent cervix. The only choice i had was to terminate my healthy baby girl. Im 22 weeks and at this time an emergency cerclage wasnt going to solve my problems.
Still at the hospital and im pondering how come my doctor did not catch this sooner like around 12-13 weeka of my pregnancy?? My husband and i are so upset and just left with why....our first pregnancy, our first child .....everything was perfect and still is because she's healthy ...i see her on the u/s and shes great it just feels so wrong to let her go. Why didnt my doctor catch this. I always said my visits were short and not very informative. She always seemed in a rush.
I just cant go thru with this

Hey lovely ladies!
It seems like its been FOREVER! Guess what!?! I held Miamor for the FIRST time!!! Ooommmggg!!!!! I was so happy to hold my lil angel!!! She responds so well with me!! It was like falling in love all over again! Im starting the Kangaroo care which is totally amazing and it does works!
She is also taking my breast milk and they already increase her feeding from every four house to every two hours! Then they increased it from one tube every two hours to now TWO tubes every two hours! And theyll increase it tomirrow to 3 TUBES every two hours! So my baby is going to get chunky!!! I cannot wait!

On monday She'll be fours weeks old!!! Wow i cant believe how mucb times has went by...i still remember when i first started this thread not knowing what was going to happened with myself and baby. You all have been with me since day one and thanks to all your love and support and PRAYERS my baby is doing amazing! Its a long road ahead but we're ready but already she's almost four weeks! May is almost over and im looking at her grow and grow and grow. And i cant believe im witnessing God's work with my very own eyes. He's amazing. God is real!

Please stay positive and dont give up on your lil girl. I have a high tisk pregnancy and was told a lot of scary stuff aswell. Im suprised your dr has recommended terminating the pregnancy. I was told I could go into labour at any time aswell. Although at 25 weeks the baby is considered viable if born then, but there has been cases of babies been born early and surviving. Remember the drs just predict what could happen doesnt mean it will. Hope you stay strong and you have a healthy baby girl. Im sorry ypur going through this. X

Hey Ladies!!!

Hope everybody is having a beautiful week!!!

Miamor is AMAZING. She is definitely an amazing, beautiful babygirl. she's doing so well. she's very feisty! So she's a kicker... a mover.... so they put an IV in her leg and she kicked it out! Her tube in her mouth.. she grabs the tube and tries to yank it out of her mouth! lol. They then tried to put the IV in her head... do you know this lil girl reached up and pulled the IV out her head!
She is spicy! And do not like those IVS and tubes, which I don't blame her! lol. The nurses tell me all the time how they do not trust her lil fingers.

They already increased her milk intake from every four hours to every two hours! so she will be gaining some weight!! Since the increase she gained an ounce!

She's been opening and closing her eyes ALOT. But now she just open both eyes and just looks at me and when she's hungry she just ***** on the tube while she looks at me.... omg im smiling right now typing about it!! I be so spell-bound when she does that!!! Its the most cutest thing in the world when your baby just looks at you! It makes my heart melt every time!

I am so thankful to have her in my life. God is wonderful!!!

Guess what?? Ill be holding her soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been awhile!!! I am so glad to hear how well you all are doing!!! I'm no 23+2 and having our next ultrasound this Wednesday!!! This boy was so stubborn at his 19 week ultrasound. They couldn't measure my cervix or see his right foot. He was laying asleep with his head down at the bottom right and his feet at the top left. I tried to wake him and get him to move as well as the technician. I can't believe that I have less than 118 days left. Time has flown by so fast!!! I have all the big stuff for him but his room is not set up in the least. I'm getting so anxious. Lol!!! Hope to hear from you soon!!
