Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Hi , I am so happy you are reading those books. They helped during my last loss a lot. I am physically and emotionally not able to do the time up. I no longer have the strength physically...I have been on modified since week 4. I also emotionally am nervous that I am doing damage. I always had shower and bathroom priveledges. Most do not when their situation got out of control due to low level of monitoring. Feel free to ask away. I will surely be there for you whenever you need it! Feel free to email me susiekunin@.... Keep the faith, "melanieselcho wrote: ,First, I am so happy to hear that your cervix is doing better than before surgery. Also, congrats on reaching the magical week 24 when your baby is "technically" a viable person (although we all want her to be fully cooked before we hear about how gorgeous she is).But, I was wondering about your comment to that you can't do the 2 hours up. Is it emotional or physical? I just read a book on pregnancy after a loss and realized how tortuous my next (hopefully) pregnancy will be, especially knowing now I have incompetent cervix, not just the risk of it. I am unsure emotionally whether I will be able to do anything but stay in bed next time. My last pregnancy I had been mostly in bed from week 13 to week 20 recovering from 2nd and 3rd degree burns on my back, and had had quite a physically exhausting week during week 22, so my mind tells me that maybe the pregnancy went as long as it did because I didn't do anything those weeks (and the logical conclusion is maybe it would have gone longer if I had stayed in bed). I realize this is silly, but because no one was monitoring me I feel like I'll never know. I know I will feel better with better monitoring and cerclage, but I'm wondering how the anxiety is for you. I am interested in hearing more from someone in the middle of it right now.I'm also curious if you got bathroom and or shower priveliges before he allowed you to be upright. I'm sure your peri would not let you out of bed those hours if it was not okay (timing the number of hours makes him sound VERY specific and protective of you and baby). But if it wears you out physically or causes you too much anxiety, stay in bed!! You'll have plenty of time to be up when she's out.Please keep us well posted on your pregnancy, your story brings such hope. I am so glad you get to go through this being so well monitored. Take care of your little one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Hi , I am a patient of Dr. Isaacson. I was told that I had mild scarring but my cervix is blocked shut (with the exception of a tiny hole that was made during an HSG. He gave me the go ahead to ttc. He said that it shouldn't effect getting preg or the preg itself. However, he said it could produce problems during delivery. So, we decided to go ahead and have the operative hysteroscopy. You may to talk to him about this. Silvana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These breaks can be SO renewing! I are a teechur, as you know, and while I didn't go into teaching for the time off, I have to say I so appreciate it every year. > I was on a plateau for FIVE weeks.

It's one thing to lose weight but quite another to stick with it during such a long plateau. > I'm only 37 pounds away from goal. Ack! Unbelievable.

Makes > sense to me, don't you think? It definitely makes sense. You're going to have the MOST fun with new clothes. What I did was go the cheap route (Walmart, Kmart, and thrift stores) while I was losing but once I hit goal...watch out! I still do thrift stores quite often because you find really good quality, often new " small " sizes there. So have you had the strange body disconnect thing yet? I remember walking by a window while out shopping and seeing a woman in the reflection, thinking " Man I wish I was that thin " and then realizing, " HEY! That's me! " I couldn't stop looking in mirrors...not out of vanity, but because whenever I wasn't looking I still " felt " fat. So I only felt thin when I was looking at myself. VERY odd. > Tory, I am absolutely THRILLED for you! Words cannot describe > how happy I am. You totally ROCK and I have always considered > myself very fortunate to be able to learn from you.
