Unexpected Drs Appt.

So Monday the 19th I called my drs office because i had been having contractions that were hurting,shooting pains in my crotch, a pinching feeling,and some lower back pain. I was worried, so i thought id call they got me in within a couple hours. I showed up they got me in right away, i maybe waited 10 mins. They weighed me, which now i weigh 5 lbs more since my appt 10 days ago! yikes! The US tech took me in the room and started my ultrasound, the baby looks huge! She did her heart beat which was good, 167 bpm, then checked for any bleeding, that was fine, then checked my cervix and measured it about 5 times, it was 4.39cm, no funnelling which is great! I felt much better! Baby girl is head down now too. I call her baby girl because we dont reveal names until we have her! Its a surprise! After that they moved me into an exam room and my dr came in right after. She wanted to do an exam to check my cervix and stich and check for any infections. Im glad she did because we found out that i have 2 infections! A bacterial infection and a yeast infection! No wonder why im contracting and crampy! She said good thing i came in! They were irritating my stitch. The pinching she said is probably from her headbutting my cervix since she is now head down. So im on 2 antibiotics for a week and hopefully that will clear it all up! I had a minor meltdown while i was there too, I just started crying when i was talking to my dr. im just overwhelmed,scared,anxious. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop i know that sounds horrible but once you have lost a baby you are never the same and never so naive about pregnancy. She totally understood and hugged me and even teared up herself. I will feel a little bit better after the 24 week "Viable" stage.2 more weeks till i get there. So i left the dr feeling alot better and glad that she is doing ok in there! I dont go back for 3 weeks Aug 11th for my glucose test and a cervical ultrasound. It seems like awhile to wait, but if anything happens im supposed to call and go in. So heres to 22 weeks!yay! Here my new belly shot! Im getting big!

20 week 4 day anatomy scan and drs appt!





My drs appt.I was there FOREVER! Till after 1pm and my appt was at 11am! I waited a like 15 mins then they took me back for my US. She started and everything was fine, heartbeat good and everything. Then she kept moving so she couldnt see her heart well enought to measure so she moved on to what she was,(gender). then she couldnt see that beacause her cord was in the way. So she moved on. Then she went to my cervix and it measured 2.75. Which last time, 2 weeks ago was 4.25cm. So i freaked. Then she had me get up go to the bathroom and come back, she went to find my dr,she was acting super weird. Freaking me out! Then i came back she told me to get undressed, so the dr could do the trans vag US to measure my cervix better. So the US tech came back and started again, got her heart, then her gender(yes, still a girl♥)Then my dr came in and did another US of the baby, then did the trans vaginal one. My cervix looked much much better that way it measured 3.75 so it made me feel better. It had definately shortned, which is expected. No funneling yet which is good. I gained 3lbs since 2 weeks ago. I dont have to go back for 4 1/2 weeks, which is a good thing and a bad thing. That means im doing good but at the same but im anxious something will happen or change. If i contract alot or start bleeding she told me to call and come in. My next Drs appt is Aug 9th and its an US and my glucose test. I will be 25 weeks 2 days then. She said after that i will probably come evry other week then every week depending on how well i do.
