Katarina Ann Tingesdahl

Hey Everybody!!!

My name is Tanya and I am pregnant with my 2nd child. My first child, Ty Raymond Tingesdahl, was born four years ago on October 10, 2003. I am real excited to be pregnant again, especially since this will be the last pregnancy for me! If I decide I want another child I will adopt one from Russia (since that is my nationality). This pregnancy has been kind of hard mainly because of the horrible morning sickness. I never once got sick with my first pregnancy, so this is totally new and unwelcome! Another reason this pregnancy has been kind of hard is due to that fact that I have been diagnosed with a pre-malignant cervical condition (which means I have pre-cancerous cells in my cervix). So, I will have to have regular biopsies (they really hurt!!!!!!!!!!!) throughout my pregnancy to monitor my condition. Then, six weeks after I deliver the baby, the doctor will go in and remove all the cancerous cells. Sounds like fun, huh! So if you or sombody you know has gone through the same thing please write me and let me know about it... it's kind of a scary thing to deal with by yourself. Even if you don't know anyone who has gone through cervical cancer and pregnancy, please write me cause I would love to correspond with someone else who is at least pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I have my first OB's appointment tomorow!!! I Finally find out what stage of pre-cancer I have!!! I am really scared!!!

I heard the babys' heart beat at my Dr. Appt!!! It was sooo cool. My husband got all teary eyed...it was so sweet!!! As far as the pre- cancer, I found out that I have CIN III, which is not really good. I have an appt in 7 weeks for another colposcopy to see if it has progressed or not. But, the Dr. said I should't be too worried and that it is not likley to spread much during my pregnancy. On a lighter note...I have my first ultrasound this coming Friday...YEA!!!

I had my first ultrasound last friday...and thank god there is only one baby in there!!! I was kinda worried that it might be twins, but it's not...YEA!!! Anyways the heartbeat was 174 BPM, which according to the old wives tale, it is a girl!!! I guess we will have to wait a few more weeks to find out for sure.
