We are 24 weeks and 3 days :) I went into my appointment on Thursday and found my cervix was only 2 cm long and was dialating from the inside out. So I was sent straight to the hospital and was put on bedrest overnight. They were going to send me home on bedrest in the morning when I wasn't having too many contractions because they thought my cervix should be stable.
Well, really early in the morning the doc came in and said he wanted to check my cervix again and when he looked it had gone to only .80 cm overnight even on bedrest. He said I probably only had 1-2 days at most before I delivered, but he really felt it was going to happen quick. So even thogh they usually don't stitch a weak cervix closed after 24 weeks, he thought we should try. Even if we could buy a little time she would have a better chance.
So I had an emergency stitch put in my cervix and have been on total bedrest for 3 days. I had a catheter put in after the surgery and they took that out this morning. I am now allowed up to go to the bathroom and so far the stitch is holding. Aside from a horrible head and neck ache I am doing well. We are hoping to get as much more time as possible. Please pray and thank you so much for visiting and calling. We should know tomorrow how stable the stitch is and if I will be able to do strict bedrest at home or if I will be staying here.
