Wee! I'm over half way to to viability.
I had my doctor's appointment this morning. Not much weight gain, still holding at 55.5kg. For the first time though it took her some time to get the baby's heartbeat.
Jellybean was kicking a ton though whenever she got close to him with the doppler. :P Her heart rate was 145 today. After she checked the heartbeat, she checked my cervix and it's still long and closed. :0)
She also updated me that studies are showing that the medication I'm on is showing that it helps more then the cerclage or bed rest. Early studies are showing that those women that did bed rest or had a cerclage done vs women who take the progesterone are still having a higher rate of pre-term labour. Her telling me this definitely eased my mind.
Jessica tried to book my 18w u/s but the number you call to book was not working (just beeped after you dialed) so they are going to try later on today and call me with my appointment date. I put in a request for a Friday. I can't get it for sure, but it never hurts to put the request in.
