Thursday September 8th, I went for a routine ultrasound to check on the twins and to check my cervix and make sure that my body is holding the babies the way it should. I had an ultrasound at Obstetrix with Dr. Nacasha about 2 weeks before (when we discovered the sex of the twins). At that time, she checked my cervix and warned me that it was short and that I needed to be on strict bedrest or I was putting myself and the twins at risk for preterm labor. I really tried to take it easy but we did just move into a new home last week and I found myself running around and unpacking boxes in order to get things settled. I knew that I was having a rough time but I thought that I was being a wimp and that it was just that my body was sore. Thursday came around and I went to my ultrasound at 9am. The Dr was not happy with me at all. My cervix went from being short, to practically nonexsistant. 2 weeks ago, my cervix was measuring at 33mm. This week it measured at 27mm. This length is dangerous and it's only a matter of time before I go into full blown labor with the twins and at 19 weeks of pregnancy, they have no chance of survival. The doctor imediately sent me to the hospital. I wasn't even allowed to go home to get a few of my things. So I went to Sierra Vista Hospital and was admitted to labor and delivery. I started out in room 306 and last night was moved to a long term room on the 3rd floor (room 310). My room is tiny but I do have a shower and I don't have a room mate.
I spoke with the Dr and she said that I would be up for re-evaluation in a few weeks but if they allowed me to go home, I would have to be on strict bedrest. If the Dr does let me go home, we have to deside if I will actually be able to do strict bedrest or not. So either way, these next 4 months are going to be tough. I am determined to have a good attitude, no matter what happens.
I really miss my girls so very much and this is really hard but the person who I miss most, is my husband!
