I asked her directly today "will a prolapsed cervix affect the baby in anyway?" and she said no, but there's a risk of preterm labor mentioned in everything I've read today.

And I'm so sorry I'm clogging up the thread with this cervix drama. I just need to calm down (and get some answers).

My guess is that 13 weeks there's time to make decisions. When Sprout gets bigger it would be more of an issue and preterm labor would come into play more. Keeping

that you have answers and actions to suit, by then.

I confess - don't be silly! Cervix drama welcome here cause you are!

I confess, and I sorry that it seems like I can only confess negative things, but c'est la vie (at the moment)...

That a local photographer, who is way more established and practically booked through the new year, introduced her new INSTALLATION of urban kids. Wow. I'm totally flabbergasted and appalled, but it doesn't matter.

In case you're wondering what I'm talking about, I came up with this idea for a series of photoshoots through downtown featuring kids only. I mentioned it on my blog and twitter and this wench commented that it was a cool idea.

Cool enough to steal, apparently.

Stick a fork in me, I'm done. I really wish people would get creative enough to come up with their own stuff. What rubs me the wrong way is not only that, but now I feel like I shouldn't do it because people will think I stole it from HER when it's NOOOOOOOOT that at all.

**DucksLikeRain** · 09-10-2009, 04:05 PM

urgh...Kim, that is just horrible. I hope she feels horrid about it every time she looks at her pictures!

I think you should go ahead and do it-we all know you'll do it better than her, anyhow!

The only solution is to do it NOW and do it BETTER. You can, too.

shutterbird · 09-10-2009, 04:14 PM

Oh nooooo, I'm not! She's actually REALLY good and WAY better than me... but it was my idea! WAH!

**WillowSpy** · 09-10-2009, 04:33 PM

Oh Kim... I soooo know how you feel about not wanting to do it because it will now look like her idea... that b!7@#.

**stephmama** · 09-10-2009, 04:40 PM

What a devil *****.

I hope what she comes up with is crap. You are way better than her.

That really sucks. Can you send her your post and her comment, and ask her what on earth she thinks she's doing? Grrrrr! Or, if you really want to start stuff, put it on her site as a comment?

**3andMe** · 09-10-2009, 05:53 PM

Stephmama, I have to tell you that Ronin is absolutely fascinated with your siggy picture. I thought he was staring at your flowing locks, but instead he bounced up and down and yelled "Waterfall!"

**WillowSpy** · 09-10-2009, 05:53 PM

I confess... how did this thread suddenly get 4 stars instead of the 5 it had for so long?

I voted to make it better! LOL

shutterbird · 09-10-2009, 05:57 PM

Thanks for the support, ladies! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who sees this as a load of bullcrap!

I would do that, but really, I don't even know if it's worth the fight. I've already deleted her off of my twitter and blocked her IP address so that she can't come onto my site (unless she uses a different computer). She'll figure it out, lol.

**girlwonder** · 09-10-2009, 06:04 PM

I'm sorry, Kim - I know it is a drag, but you are handling it in the best way. You don't want to engage in anything with someone who is that low. You just keep your distance and play it close to the vest from now on.

How about SUB-urban kids?

HAHAHA! That's a great idea, mind if I steal it?

All I'm seeing right now are cul-de-sacs and minivans.

Don't forget the soccer balls! Maybe a back yard grill (unlit) and a little apron and spatula?

Unbelievable. That sucks so much. I'm angry for you.

She's had one other patient who had something similar, and with a combo of a pessarie and bedrest she made it to term

I'll know more in 2 weeks and I'll keep you all updated.

See.. that was the first thing that came to my mind, too, but my Ob said that my cervix is really nicely closed and it's not so much that it's incompetant or opening, as much as it is just... way too low and falling out of me (how the hell does that happen???) Honestly, other than putting in a pessarie (a ring that holds up the cervix, which may or may not work) I don't think there's any way to fix it, especially not during pregnancy. I'm doing Kegels like mad to strengthen things.

I confess today sucks.

Once I stop wallowing in my cups I will go back and read all the confessions I've missed

**Gwenn** · 09-10-2009, 06:53 PM

Agatha,

. Step away from the google. It does sound like there is a good treatment for this and you will do just fine. I would ask your OB if there is any way you could get a referral now, just in case.

I think whether you need a referral or not depends on your insurance plan. I actually pay extra for a plan that doesn't require me to get a referral, because I want to be able to consult with a peri as soon as I get pregnant because of my blood clotting disorder. When I was briefly pregnant last summer I called my OB and she said to call the peri directly to establish the pregnancy. I won't go into what happened here because I don't want to hijack and I don't want to get upset again. The point is, with some insurance plans you can do that, so check into what yours will cover.

Kim, I would be so angry about somebody stealing my idea!

Next time just tell people you have a great idea, but don't tell them what it is!

I confess that Jimi and I are starting to plan our anniversary get away.

**WillowSpy** · 09-10-2009, 07:37 PM

I confess that there are some really gorgeous new siggie pics floating around... Bridget's are super cute, Lydia's is darling, elmobo has too adorable little rock stars, and I love the new pic of Liam!!!

Oh, honey. I'm crying now. I really don't cry much.

I know everything will be fine.

"Awwww" is what I just said out loud when I read this. I am feeling super bad for you!

Aww sweetie, I hope it'll all be ok.
