Cerclage

No blogging for about 2 weeks. :(
Was home on bed rest after undergoing a procedure called a cerclage. The procedure was performed as a precaution to prevent a premature birth. The surgery lasted about 1 hour. I opted to not be fully anesthetized, so I was given a sedative through an IV and numbed from the waist down. I was fully awake for the surgery. Didn't feel a thing. Lower half of my body was completely dead weight for about 3 hours. Was not allowed to go home until I could squeeze and hold my butt cheeks!!
The surgery is comprised of putting a stitch in to close up my cervix like a drawstring handbag or a drawsdting trashbag. The stitch will be taken out around 35 weeks...
