and this is why i believe in the power of prayer

thank you for all who prayed!!

Quick Run Down:
Thursday Night - could not pee
Friday - visit to the midwife, in office catheter, something blocking a clear passage
Friday Night - could not pee, referred to Ob Triage in the hospital, received foley catheter
Tuesday Morning - midwife appointment, she called in the doctor because something was not right.  Cervix nearly impossible to find, uterus not in the right spot, a fibroid appears to be pushing down on my uterus causing blockage, catheter stays put
Wed-Friday - pray pray pray pray pray; and start to notice signs of UTI
Friday - definitely UTI, knee chest exercises while praying, and then...
2.30 ultrasound showed no signs of a fibroid, baby looks great, physical exam confirmed everything is right where it should be.  Cervix and uterus are in the normal position.  No more catheter!!

I left my appointment humbled and grateful.  God is big!!  So, I still have to fight off a UTI, but it is so so much better doing it without a catheter.

Great news! I really feel for you. I've had peeing issues after a few of my c-sections and had to be re-cathed (but while still in the hospital). That's no fun!

Yay, praise God! I am so glad that was all figured out and you didn't have to keep the catheter in.
