It went great. She is such a nice doctor and she wants to be completely in charge of my care. I am very happy about that because I had some reservations about going back to my regular ob. There were just some things I think could have been done differently with my twins, so I'm happy she is willing to have me see her exclusively.
She did a quick u/s and baby is measuring the 9 weeks it should be and the hb was 170. Baby looked so cute!
She tentatively booked my cerclage surgery for September 19. She highly recommends I do it, even though I am only carrying one. She said if I decided not to then she would have to monitor me weekly with ultrasound at 16 weeks and if my cervix started to shorten then they would have to do an emergency cerclage that day, but emergency cerclages carry a higher risk. So I'm 99.9% sure I will do the preventative cerclage in September.
DH and I left the appt with great big smiles on our faces. I pray it keeps going well! :)
