6 Weeks Pregnant!!!

DesignerGal · Post by **DesignerGal** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 7:29 am

Not me, but my cousin is! She was diagnosed with PCOS, and has been trying for 2 years! I already sent her pacifiers. This is the first baby from our generation in the family so its really exciting!

I am so excited I had to share the news!!!! Hooray!

I do, however, have a question! Her mother had what they call a "lazy uterus". Does anyone know if that is hereditary?

My sister says not to buy her anything until after the 1st trimester because I will "jinx" her. I cant help myself, should I wait?

I didnt mean to fool anyone into false excitment for ME with the title of the thread...sorry!

After the baby comes take her to one of them Chippendale Shows and get her a front seat so she can play with them thong-wearing fools,,,,,:D

Ohhhh...I wish I could help with housework!! She is in Geprgia and I am in Virginia! And she is a devout Christian, so I dont think the CHippendale show will work...but thanks for the ideas and warm wishes!

(I've never heard of a lazy uterus... I have to wonder what the opposite of that would be.)

I tried to google it and cant find anything. This was back in the 70's, so its probably something more PC now, who knows? Im glad to see you're still posting which means you probably arent banging your head against a wall, and that's good!

DesignerGal...Congrats on the great news!! Still praying it's you in the future too, as you've shared with us. I haven't forgotten, so hang in there! Now I wonder if the term "lazy uterus" is the same as what my problem is....I have an "incompetent cervix".....(lovely term isn't it?!)

When I get pregnant I have to have my cervix sewn closed around 12-14 wks along otherwise I will lose baby as happened once. (Sorry to the men if I made you a little queasy!)

YES! It is something very closely related to this! My aunt was 5-6 months pregnant and lost the baby because of the lazy uterus/incompetent cervix. Do you know if its hereditary??

Thanks for the warm wishes and words of encouragement. I have put my feelings on the back burner for now because Im just so overjoyed about this!!! Its so wonderful!!

Thanks! I think I'll change my sig again.

No. It isnt the same. I have that, its related to endometriosis. I think all of the guys are like gagging while rushing to get off this thread! What do you gals think?!?!?!?!?! LOL:wah:

Liar I thought it was you ahahahahaha well I wish your cousin all the best.

I agree you should wait before you buy anything.... I suppose you could buy and save and if needed return items if something (god forbid) should go wrong. Awww DG such grand news.

And it is at this time that you may get pregnant. "They" say when you are distracted with something positive, this could be your time.

I don't think an incompetent cervix is hereditary....I think it's more the result of an injury or trauma to the cervix...such as a past surgery, biopsy, difficult childbirth..

For example I have heard of women who had to have some of their cervix removed due to cancer...needing a cerclage (cerclage is what the stitch is called).

Here is an informative article about cerclages and incompetent cervix. The procedure i had was the MacDonald type as described on the 2 nd page of article

I also had an emergency cerclage put in when 5 months pregnant because i was dilated...but it still failed and delivered prematurely. My Daniel died at birth. I do know though, that when the cerclage is in place BEFORE complications arise, the results/statistics for a successful pregnancy are GREAT.

My aunt had the Shirodkar procedure, or the "purse string". SHe also lost her baby at 5 months. Thanks for the info!

Dont tempt me. You might not ever see your teenager again! Just kidding! Im not sure if I mentioned it or not but here, its a 7 yr waiting list for a baby, and in CHina (out other option) I have to be 30 at the time of the application, so I have to wait at least 2 years to bring my baby home. But Im serious! I am going to try my damndest to get pregnant!!!

Thanks, minks!
