The Short of It

Mosaic Turner's Syndrome occurs during birth.  Most Turner's kids do not make it to term.  Another blessing and God's provision.  I have a "semi-incompetent" cervix...which means my cervix has a hard time holding a baby in to term.  It dialates and the baby is born premature.  During my pregnancy with Edward,  I began dialating at 36 weeks.  He was born at 38 weeks which is considered full term.  When I was pregnant with Sydney I began dialating at 29 weeks.  My ob was doing a Strep B swab and decided just to check whilst he was "down there".  In his words, "You just went from ho-hum to high risk".  What insued was bed rest, then hospitalization for the next 5 1/2 weeks.  When I got pregnant with Ashley they did a cerclage and sewed my cervix shut at 14 weeks.  God wanted Ashley to be here.  He has a specific plan for her that I cannot wait to see.
