Perinatal consultation

So today we had our consultation with the perinatologist...

It started off okay...he asked about my medical history...then he did an ultrasound through my abdomen...saw the baby...saw him/her move around...and heard the heartbeat...we even got some great shots including 4D pics...we both thought it was pretty cool! Also everything looked fine...oh and he told us that we were good candidates for cerclage in 3 weeks...

Here is where he gave us some worrisome news...

He did a transvaginal ultrasound to get a better look and saw that our baby had fluid behind his neck...he told us it can be a sign of abnormalities...

Well now besides having to worry about having a cerclage...we have this to worry about...I could not stop myself from crying...and if it is the case that the fluid increases in the next 2 weeks, he will not put in a cerclage...he said because of my chances of miscarriage...

So in 2 weeks I have to see another doctor to get blood tests and another ultrasound done to screen for abnormalities...then the following week see the peri again to see if we can go ahead and do the cerclage...

I do not know why this keeps happening to us...I cannot enjoy this pregnancy like most people and more and more things keep happening...I do not know how much I can take...I am a wreck right now...constantly worrying...and having to wait 2 weeks is going to feel like an eternity!

If you pray, I ask for your prayers mainly for our unborn child...

I will keep everyone posted!
