This blog post recounts the details of those first few weeks of my perinatal anxiety disorder and how I eventually I went from panic to peace (hint: thank goodness for meds!).

At 32 weeks + 3 days pregnant with a unicornuate uterus and an incompetent cervix, I share an update about continued preterm contractions, a recent overnight hospital stay, and impromptu maternity pictures Cory and I took last week.

Today at exactly 31 weeks with my unicornuate uterus, I share an update about the past 12 days in my pregnancy. I’ve experienced shortness of breath, insomnia, panic attacks, doctor appointments, an emergency room (ER) visit, and one overnight hospital stay.

One year ago, I wrote a blog post to my future-August-2019-self. Today, at 30 weeks pregnant, I respond to last year’s post, filling in August-2018-Kristen on pregnancy with a unicornuate uterus, incompetent cervix, cerclage, bleeding scares, and panic attacks.

I share a brief reflection on Embrace Your Unicorn’s first year. A year processing infertility diagnoses (unicornuate uterus, diminished ovarian reserve), disordered eating recovery, mental health issues, and a whole slew of guest writer topics (miscarriage, breast cancer survivor, unexplained infertility, etc.).

At 21 weeks + 3 days pregnant with my little boy inside my unicornuate uterus and incompetent cervix, I’m feeling a range of emotions. I also talk about how I’ve been feeling since my cerclage three weeks ago.

I had a cerclage placed about two weeks ago due to my incompetent cervix caused by my unicornuate uterus. (I guess I’m extra, extra special?) Today I write about the cerclage as well as some data I collected about pregnancy outcomes of women with unicornuate uteruses and cerclages.
