I went to my postpartum 6 week checkup today. Dave went with me and it was an ordeal. First they were doing repairs on some of the elevators so we had to wait in line to use the elevators (a security guard was in front of the stairs door for some reason) Then we end up waiting an hour for the doctor only to find out that my doctor (the Fertilty Specilist/High Risk OB) is in ITALY on vacation. So I saw two other doctors (one of which I saw when I was in the hospital).
I was told that the pathology report showed that there was infection found in the placenta (the same thing that happened the first time) no idea why it's happening.
I am also being scheduled for a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) According to this Website
A hysterosalpingogram is an X-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes which allows visualization of the inside of the uterus and tubes. The picture will reveal any abnormalities of the uterus as well as tubal problems such as blockage and dilation.
They want to check the inside of my uterus to make sure that there are no problems there. If there are then surgery may be needed to fix it. This will be scheduled sometime in the next few weeks. My doctor (the one in Italy) is the one who does this test so I have to wait for him to get back.
I was also told that next time I get pregnant I will need a cerclage earlier. Since they did the cerclage last time after I started dilating the doctor thinks that I was already in preterm labor when they did the cerclage.
On other note I got my baby's pictures today. They also gave me a plaster cast of his little feet. I also have the outfit they took his picture in along with the blanket and very small stuffed animal. It's heartbreaking but I'm glad I have them. It's much more than I have for my first baby. All I got with him was a polaroid picture.
