Howdy folks!
Life is settling into the new normal. Although this is about the time that I was due, I'm not having as hard of a time with it that I imagined I would a few months ago. It still amazes me how quickly that 40 weeks really is.
Today I came across an article that spoke about a possible new, affordable treatment for women with a "short cervix". Although this does not apply to everyone diagnosed with incompetent cervix, this is good news in light of the whole Makena controversy. Ladies and gentlemen, please spread the news that there are things to not only look out for, but possible countermeasures regarding incompetent cervix.
And don't forget to take my survey (link disabled).
Until next time!

Incompetent Grief
One of the major problems I've had recently is "what to do?"
I have no clue what to do about much of my life's goals, plans, dreams - I've always had some sort of plan, so this floundering is new. And coupled with the anger, sadness, and frustration of losing my sons, it's debilitating. I'm going through the motions, but I'm not really here.
You see this is the thing about something like IC - it slams into your life and makes you question everything you thought you knew. And then you question all that you may have kind of known about what your body was doing when it decided to betray you: I can't help reliving the extra mucus, the slight pressure, the "gassy" pain in my back... Put all together, I should have gone to the doctor long before my check-up. But nothing I read pointed me that way. So then I start blaming everybody & everything (for not giving me the whole picture), including myself (for not being able to put it all together in time to save them). It's a vicious cycle. I'm trying to break free, but I guess it will take a while.
Anywhoo - don't forget to take/share MY SURVEY (link disabled)!
