I will be 21 wks tommorrow. Today was my apt and the word PERFECT has came up again. I like that word :) but I do not want to get comfortable with it. My cervix was 4.02 cm today, which is perfect. My amniotic fluid level and placenta are perfect. The baby is perfect and I am doing great. Both Dr Love and Dr Powers are very pleased and they will see me again in 2 wks.
That is going to be a big decision making apt. and we will decide if I will be put on bed rest at that point or if we will wait a little longer. That is when we will be holding our breaths wondering if anything is going to happen. Of course I will continue to get my weekly progestorone shot (Yeah).
I am having extreame sciatica, wich is oh so much fun (sigh), and I really can not do anything about it. She said that under "normal" circumstances, that she would prescribe PT, but because of my cervix she doesn't want them to manipulate my body because it could cause me other issues, which we don't want. She said that they can do a steroid shot but because of my Ehlers-Danlos that it is not a good option for me having injections into my legiments. There are exercises that she could give me but again because of the cervix she does not want me doing exercises. So she said I can do Tylenol (but I am allergic to it), I can use a heating pad or take a warm bath and basicly just relax oh and I am allowed to complain as much as I want :) LOL, I am glad of that because I am LOL.
My weight is back to prepregnancy weight, which means in a little over a week and a half I gained a whole one pound, LOL. But I am at the point where the weight should be coming. But preobably slower than normal since I am already overweight. But that is ok, the baby can take as much fat as he wants because then when I have him it will be baby and not fat and I will lose it, that sure sounds like a good plan to me :)
So that is the report this week, Perfect again. My next apt is Wends. Dec. 17th. I will be 23 weeks at that point. Just continue the prayers and prayer for another perfect report then.
