Today was my cervical cerclage at 12:30 pm. I was terrified that something was going to go wrong, even though I tried to keep positive and I prayed and prayed and prayed. Thankfully, everything went well and the baby is fine. Dr. E said she didn't have much cervix to work with but cerclage was in. I had no bleeding nor pain afterwards, but am relaxing at home. Mom is here to take care of me. I love it when she comes over.

Your Baby:
Your baby now weighs more than the surrounding placenta. She measures about 4.4 to 4.8 inches (about 11 to 12cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 3.5 ounces (100g). She is positioned halfway between your pubic bone and your navel.
Fat, which is important for your baby's metabolism and heat production is beginning to form around this time.
The placenta, which will weigh more than a pound at full term, is also developing rapidly. It is now a large and well-established network of blood vessels responsible for exchanging nutrients and waste to support your baby.

Your Body:
Your pregnancy is showing more and your lower abdomen probably looks larger. Your uterus can now be felt between one and a half to two inches below your navel. You may also be gaining weight on other parts of your body, such as your thighs, hips and buttocks. It's normal to have gained between 5 and 10 pounds by now, but your own rate of weight gain may be different. Ask your doctor if you think you may be gaining too little or too much weight.
Your body's increased blood supply may give you nosebleeds or may just make your nose feel congested. It can also cause bleeding gums.
You may be sweating more than usual because of your increased metabolic rate. You may experience round ligament pain because your growing uterus stretches and pulls these ligaments. It can be uncomfortable but is not normally a cause for concern.
You may feel the baby moving this early.
