Just a quick update from my phone in the hospital bed. The surgery itself went well - the doctor did some extra reinforcements, etc.
I am, however, terrified. A 4 cm cervis is great, they want above 2 - and mine was only half a centimeter on the outside (there may be more inside, will do an u/s tomorrow). Luckily the cerclage went in well, but this is pretty sobering/scary. I will get to talk to the peri tomorrow morning - I want to know about bed rest, etc. I am only 13w2d - how is this possible? The baby should be too small for this. It is just a miracle that we did the cerclage now.
Having a little rough post-op. Had to do the spinal instead of general, but that was okay (didn't hurt). However, I reacted strong to the sedative, and had uncontrollable chills for about four hours. I have gotten sick from the pain meds, too, which causes some pressure.
I am sorry to whine - just scared. Hope everyone is doing well.
