I'm here. Nothing much going on, which is probably the best thing I could type. Seriously, I hope I have nothing of interest to write about for the next 6-odd months.
I have not had ANY, I repeat ANY!, spotting for 6 days. Not even some very light buff-colored discharge. Nada. Granted, I am still checking TP like a lunatic, but so far, so good. That evil SCH may have really reabsorbed. So great.
I am counting the days til the next OB appointment. That would be 10 days away. A week from Monday. I am going to ask for more cervix monitoring, because I'm am getting increasingly anxious. I'm not 100% sure how cervical monitoring is done - any of you wise peoples out there know? Is it an internal, or using u/s? Both? Something else entirely? All I know is I need more reassurance.
I also got some serious bloat feelings going on. I feel huge, and really, I'm not that big at all. I said this to Mr. P last night, that I feel so bloated, and I showed him my bloated belly. He just rolled his eyes at me, and called it critter bloat. Then he said, "You are gonna get huge, so get used to it." Huge is a good thing, but it is really hard to imagine. I already feel huge. Again, I'm still surprised that this is happening to me. That my body is changing. Surprises me every day.

Yay for no more spotting! Hopefully it's gone for good and the next 6-months are pure, uneventful, pregnancy bliss!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you are extremely boring for the next 6 months!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are in the "boring" and "normal" category. I believe you've had quite enough drama.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to hear about all of the changes. It's amazing (and yes, totally surprising).
Glad the spotting has stopped!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I stand in front of the mirror with my shirt off and rub my belly, commenting on how big it is, my husband says "It's gonna get a lot bigger". And every time I say "I can't even imagine". But so far he continues to be correct! :)
I'm wishing you continued uneventfulness!
ReplyDeletei was told that cervical monitoring can begin as early as 14 weeks - my MFM said she would recommend starting at 16 weeks but would go earlier if i wanted. it can be done manually and with u/s - both types of u/s but i guess when we're talking cervix, they probably stick with abdominal so as not to jarr anything.
ReplyDeleteand you're right, you will get bigger, and it's wonderful. just wait until you feel that beautiful little one kick!
All my cervix checks were via u/s. They measured the length and checked for funneling. They never did an internal to check. Good news on the spotting!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad all is 'boring' today! :) Yay for no spotting!
ReplyDeletelol I've never heard of 'critter bloat'!
