I am so thankful for progesterone shots and the researchers and medical community that made them possible. In the one month that I have received weekly shots my cervical length has gone from a somewhat concerning 2.9cm to a fantastic 4.3cm. My doctors are encouraged and I am over the moon. I feel like I can relax just a little and actually enjoy my pregnancy now. I am at 20 weeks, which is the timeframe that I began having issues in my first pregnancy. I'm starting to think that I may make it to week 40 this time, and get to bring baby home with me instead of leaving him in the NICU for 5 weeks. This pregnancy has been 100% different from my first, and I'm thankful for that as long as I get the same final result, which is another perfect child.
For those of you who have asked me about the belly band, I still haven't gotten one. I will definitely do so, but with this recent good news I think I will put it off just a few weeks longer until I really need it. That way I can hopefully really feel the difference it makes. More on that subject later. Until then, hang in there ladies!
