Just checking in to see how everyone is. Beth I hope you're doing well and have my fingers crossed for you that you are suitable for cerclage today xxx
 
I'm good! Glad to see the sun shiiiiiine!

How is everyone?

Thinking of you Beth xxx
 
Thinking of you Beth and hoping so hard you can get your cerclage xxx
 
Praying for Beth here as well. Surely all of our good energy and positive thoughts will help her out. Maybe her little girl just wants to make an ordeal leading up to her entrance into the world so it's memorable. :) Hope she is hanging in there!! She is pretty close to V-day!!
 
How is everyone doing today? I know a few of us have scans coming up, mine is Thursday and I'm anxious to see how it's going. The OB couldn't measure my uterus at my appt on Friday :( I think it's because I'm a little chubby so she couldn't find the top of it. I wish she had been able to, knowing if I'm on track would have been reassuring. I think she could have if she prodded me more, but she said she wasn't going to since my scan was less than a week away and the u/s measurements are more accurate anyway. Oy!

Had a scare myself yesterday, and it was dumb and all my fault. They say your center of gravity can change and make you a little clumsier, and I waited til I was on the stairs in slipper socks to figure that out! I went downstairs to change over the laundry, and my pup must have saw me and as I was headed upstairs I heard her feet tapping on the patio door. Usually we let them in upstairs, but since it's so snowy and she's so little, I spun around to go back downstairs real quick and get her before she ran upstairs. DUMB. I don't know exactly what happened but I was falling before I knew it. Luckily I realized it and lurched sideways faster so I hit my knee and wrists/arms and not my belly at all. Totally fine other than a bit of a bruised/skinned knee. DH ran down to check on me and help me up and I assured him I was fine, then I went to the bathroom and bawled my eyes out. My knee and hand did smart pretty good, but I was so terrified. Please be more careful than me girls! I was shook up the rest of the day over it thinking if I hadn't gotten my arms out I would have totally been on my side/belly.
 
jess--Cute bump pics :thumbup: Good work with thinking fast on those stairs.

Merri--Glad your doppler is working so good. :flower:

wanting--congrats on a girl send some pink dust my way. Hope your feeling better

kelly-goodness hope they found out what was causing the blood in your urine. :hugs:

bethnee--Oh no praying for everything to be ok and she stays in there at least 10 more wks. :hugs:


AFM-- Me and dh had some fun this weekend I kinda figured it would be safe. Well(tmi) I orgasmed about 3 or 4 times :blush: and last night there was a glob of gel like blood it was not sticky or anything and I did not bleed any after that either but I was thinking it was some of my mucus plug which would be normal if it was clear and not much because it rejuvinates it self but it was all blood not blood tinged and it was about the size of a lima bean. I got a call for my ob nurse in my ob is out today that is the reason I have my scan on wed otherwise it would have been today. So now waiting for the call back. I have had what I think is some braxton hicks this morning b/c my stomach gets tight however I have had some cramps like right before your fixing to start cramps so they have not been bad. I am not to worried right now b/c I listened to the hb this monring and it seemed fine and I have been feeling a few small kicks nothing big though.
 
Who else has got their scan this week? Ooooh it's so exciting you girls are going to love it! Can't wait to see pics.

Aw Mackjess I've definitely been a bit clumsy too and then you have hormones on top of it! When I fell over at seven weeks I was really shook up! :hugs:

I had a bit of a trip yesterday, more of a little teeny mis-step, not even a trip! It was in front of my in-laws and they went nuts! I didn't even fall or anything, I think it sounded like I had fallen, but I hadn't!
So I've been warned by them to be more careful - I didn't even fall! :haha:

Thanks FJ. I mostly felt like a fool. I knew instantly I was fine, and wished DH hadn't been there making such a fuss!!

I listened to the HB as well last night for some reassurance. Don't you love the doppler Monroe? Sometimes I have a teensy bit of spotting after times when we have been more rambunctious than others. OB said that is totally normal as there blood vessels down the are fuller. Maybe you just got a little of that mixed in the CM? I'm sure you will be totally reassured by your MW.

I haven't felt the baby move yet. My tummy feels a little tight and twingey. I wonder what that is? Eeek. And as I typed that I felt like what would be a bubble pop on the right. Am I finally feeling my little booger? It's up higher than my normal digestive gurgles, and I know he is high since the HB is usually picked up close to my belly button. I know he is moving like crazy bc you can hear him swimming around on the doppler.
 
Oh jess how awful! Glad u ok and your bump is safe and sound. Xxx
 
TY, it was just so cliche, pregnant lady falling down the stairs. I was more upset at myself for being careless than anything!

Glad you had such a lovely birthday.
 
Oh just saw all the other posts!! For some reason my fone had only shown me up until yours about falling down the stairs jess! Monro try not to worry. I always gets ewcm after O and its possible yours was blood tinged simply because of trauma to the cervix with all that bd'ing! Quite normal. But always best to get checked.
Flapjack I've got my scan Friday! So excited! Very nervous though! Xxx
 
Thanks for all of the positive vibes! We're just waiting today to see the maternal and fetal specialist but were told by my OB that its unlikely that they will attemp a cerclage. My best shot is to stay on strict hospital bedrest. My doctor is hoping for 12 more weeks, I am hoping I can hang on for 2.5 to get to 24 weeks. Prognosis isn't good but my little girl is still kicking and moving around. After my first loss and this pregnancy, I can't imagine trying again, regardless of the outcome. I will be a mom but maybe not to my own little one. I still have hope but trying to be realistic...
 
Ohhhh Dolly and Monroe so excited for you! Scans, scans, scans! Seems like we have these events in batches on here!

xxx
 
Beth :hugs: I can't wait for when you have your healthy baby in your arms and this is all a distant memory :hugs: Take care my love xxxx
 
Beth I said a little prayer for you and your little girl. And I will include you in my prayers every time until you're past that 24 weeks. We're all rooting for you hereXxx
 
You can do it beth!! I've heard of ladies on BnB being on bedrest for that long or longer and still delivering healthy babies! Praying big time for you girl. Please keep us posted after your the specialists see you.
 
Beth--I am so sorry your going through this i am praying that the hospital bed rest works and your little one stays safely in there till the 12 wks the dr wants. Is it possible to undilate? Maybe if it is the drs will change their mind in not putting the cerclage in.

jess--I know the doppler has probable saved many trips to the hospital and drs and stress.

Dolly--Well I would not be worried about that if it was ewcm but it was not. It was like a big well as big as a lima bean glob of congeled blood there was no stickiness consistantcy to it. It was dark reddish brown like the type you might expect the mucus plug to have in it. An ob nures called back said as long as I am not bleeding or cramping bad I should be fine. She said pelvic rest for 2 wks I said I have an appt wed for US and cervix ck b/c I am being monitored she said to talk with him then. and pelvic rest till then. After I told her we did have sex this weekend she said that is what it was probably from. I don't think she had a clue. I really think it was some of the mucus plug. :growlmad: I hope everything is fine and nothing happens before wed.
 
Sounds like everything will be fine. Mucus plug will regenerate itself. At least you getting a check up soon so will get some reassurance too which is good- will keep my fingers crossed for you that all goes well.. take it nice and easy! xxx
 
Beth I have been praying for you and will continue to do so, have they tried you on any progesterone pessaries? Steriods for baby's lungs? Have they measured your cervix today or is it best to leave it alone?

I have my scan tomorrow :-) I had a funny turn today-dizzy and faint-had to leave the canteen queue and sit down, but ppl don't half fuss over you when they see a bump so I was well looked after! Think it was from standing up for a long time plus my flippin sore throat has returned so was coughing all last night again. Anyway-on getting back to work I then had this back pain in kidney area and feared they were cramps and it lasted about 10mins-work sent me off to walk in centre where I have a trace of protein in urine but that could be nothing untoward, but because my bp was normal rather than my usual pregnancy low bp the gp was talking of pre-eclampsia! Honestly, im sure it's not! Anyway im having my glucose test on Wednesday so ill have my urine and bp checked again then. It was 118/80 and it's been around 96/65...but it does vary even when I check myself at work! Ohhh, and then she uses the worst doppler ever-the static was so constant and loud you couldn't hear anything...she told me not to worry-and I wasn't only because having my own made me realise how crap hers was! She found hb after 10 mins of hard pushing and said it was 104...no way!!! I came right home and used mine-clear as day, easy to find and it's usual rate of 146! Annoying though as it's in my notes as 104...silly gp.

I've actually been too scared to do the deed-other fondlings have been ok though! Im sure we will once im over this cold..maybe! ;-)
