thanks ladies!! next cervical length check on Nov 23rd. also to check my little mans kidneys because they were a bit large. hoping all is well.. my doc basically says i dont need to be on "bed rest" anymore, just no work or lifting and rest when i can. i must say its nice to be able to go to the store if i need too but still try to take it easy. my brother is taking me to buy a stroller today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its his gift. bless him. so so far i have a bassinet, stroller, and i got some more clothes because my mom bought me a nice 24 pc layette set! annd my dad is buying a crib. i feel much better because i was really stressing that i had absolutely nothing for baby! i realized yesterday my stitch will be out in 10/11 weeks. its insane how fast this pregnancy has gone

Ah lch I think you'll be fine with your baby stuff. Honestly babies don't need that much to begin with so don't panic too much. Your brother sounds lovely for getting you the stroller, that a really thoughtful thing for him to do.
I keep thinking its not all that long until my stitch comes out too, crazy how fast pregnancy seems to be going by at the moment!

everyone has told me that! lol. im a new mama and of course will have lots to learn.. like, im also freaking out.. about what size to get clothes in.. newborn or 0-3 months. what if i get all newborn and they are too big? i guess i should just get a little of both.

Yeah 3rd tri does seem to take longer to go by than the other two! Although I'm hoping that it doesn't drag too much this time, I can't wait to meet my little man and see what/who he looks like 
Oh and clothes, so far I've only got him newborn, up to 10lb size. My last baby was only 7lb6oz at birth and took some time to grow out of newborn size, but I know that might not be the same this time!

You can get a few NB just in case and always buy more after baby is born if you need to. My full term DD was born at 6'9'', 18 inches so was in NB for awhile. In fact, she was in preemie clothes for a couple weeks.
I definitely think you should only buy a few clothes to start with. From my experience you can't always go by weight. My first was 8 lb 1 and was in newborn for ages. My second weighed 7 lb 6 and was straight in 0-3 Coss she was long x x x
Thanks my doc doesn't want me to start med untill 12 weeks
Hi ladies,
This cold is driving me made. I went to doctors today and they have put me on anti-biotics so hopefully along with the parcetamol i will combat this cough and cold. I hate taken medicine when I am pregnant but it is affecting my asthma and if that flares up then I would be on worse meds. Problem is I have a pain in my lower abdomen which I think is caused by all of the coughing, but it is worrying me. Has anyone else had any experience of this?

It could just be muscles strain from all the coughing, but if you're really worried about it go get checked out. I hope those antibiotics knock it on the head for you

Hi everyone! It's been awhile... Getting use to this bedrest thing. So here is my recap. At 17 weeks 1 day I got a rescue cerclage due to IC FUNNELING AND DILATED INNER OS. I went yesterday to see to OB and peri and both said things look okay. I don't know if they are being honest. I know doctors can't promise anything but I want to know my percentage of carrying this baby to viability. Peri said my cervix is now 1.2 cm compared to nothing when I went in at 17 weeks. I'm now 18 weeks 5 days and I'm looking for some support with similar stories.... Lets keep her in until at least 26 weeks!!!!!!!
You can do it Prayerful - just make sure you stay on bedrest for a while and you will make it just like I have. Our circumstances are very similar so if I can do it so can you hun x x x x
