Hi all
I am currently 26wks
I had a stitch placed at 21weeks as it was found my cervix was only 1.5, with funnelling. Operation was more complicated than they first thought but they managed to get the stitch in. I was then put on bedrest for 2 weeks after and given progesterone pesseries (lovely things arnt they!)
At my follow up appointment, the consultant said i dont need to be on bedrest and that as long as i take it easy i should be ok, he said that i could go back to work and carry on as normal, i did have another internal u/s and showed that the stitch is holding. They have also given me steroid injections at 24wks.
What i am worried about is, alot of other people get put on strict bedrest, why am i different?
My consultant seems so relaxed about it all. I now dont see my consultant for another 4 weeks, also they say they are going to stop doing scans!
I am still taking it v easy, not doing any chores, not walking far and sit down as much as i can.
Any advice would be welcome!
Thanks
Nicki
