Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[DMJ]

So our little man has finally arrived
Baby zeddy Chance was born yesterday afternoon at 12.53 weighing 7lb 15.5oz at 38+1 gestation. I'm so in love with our chunky monkey I still can't quite believe that he's here and most importantly that he's mine after everything we have been through. He really is perfect.

I never thought for ages that this day would come .. It always seemed so far away. Just so glad now that we can become the happy family unit we've always wanted to be with our angels watching over us.

Thankyou everyone for all your support throughout the pregnancy, sorry I havnt been much help to anyone as this was my first stitch pregnancy it was all very new to me. Hope everyone is ok and can't wait to hear the rest of the successful ic birth stories

Xxx

i put on way to much weight already =[ im really nervous about it

I have only gained 11 lbs at 27+3 and I am still worried. I failed my 1 hr with DD and my mom had GD with her 3rd. I think I failed my 1hr last pregnancy because I drank OJ for bf and then drank the Glucola, lol. This Thursday is my moment of truth.

Congrats DMJ!

I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow & tonight I've been having a lot of vaginal pain..like it literally feels like inside my vagina is hurting..the pain was coming like every 30 seconds but has slacked off some..could this just be round ligament pain? i'm praying i will make it to 13 weeks to get my cerclage.

Hi Hun, I had both the injections together when I was around 37ish weeks. Felt fine after the whooping cough apart from a dead arm. Had the flu jab done a few hours later which again wasn't bad but did make me feel abit groggy for the next day or 2 after. Xx

I really need to take it easy today...no easy feat with my 3yo. I am convinced I am going to be funneled to the stitch tomorrow at my 27+5 appt. All because I was slightly funneling last Tuesday and have felt more twinges and pulling this past week. Can you even feel funneling? I haven't had many ctx I can feel (maybe 1-2 a day). I think its in my head but that u/s will be interesting. I haven't looked forward to one in over a month and I am kind of looking forward to this one...if nothing else to see if I'm right or crazy.

I an so nervous/paranoid about being put on SBR. Then I will have to find daycare/in-home help. I am barely swinging taking care of my kid on MBR. I wish I had family in the area!

God I was neurotic before this! Now I'm just nutty

Hi Justinsmama,

I feel the same about my next scan. I have not had a scan since 24 weeks and my next 1 is at 32 weeks. At 24 weeks my cervix was only closed 7mm, pretty much the only thing holding it together was the stitch and I was funnelled all the way up to it. Really don't know what to expect with my next scan, a lot can happen in 8 weeks.

I am just greatful I have made it to 30 weeks. At 18 weeks I was told it was highly unlikely that I would reach 24 weeks as my cervix was fully open at the time of stitch and was starting to dialate. I have proved them wrong, lol x x x

You know, I don't mind realism but I hate when OBs are all doom and gloom. It would be nice for a little "atta girl, you can do it" at the beginning when you really need it. Its one reason I love my Dr at MFM. He is arrogant and has always said "I do great stitches, this will hold until we take it out." I needed that at 19+5.

Great job doing this until 30 weeks!
