Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[kimbotrav]

hi dayday how far wil you be i had an emegant one placed at 18 weeks and i was also worried and scared altough it is strange as i was hung almost upside down lol it was a pretty straight forward procedure and i just felt like pulling ext but no pain an bleeding setled down after a couple of days ull be just fine i have just had mine removed at 34+3 so it did a fab job as i had my last baby at 29 weeks good luck xxxx

 

[kimbotrav]

It is 7.30 pm so if I still feel like this in morning I will call the hospital. Got a meal bought and paid for tomorrow night and going to see twilight on Saturday, bought and paid for. And a 2 nd birthday party to go to on Sunday, lol, typical.

hi angel i would definatel advise you to get checked if you still feel the same in the morning just to double check cervix is still closed ext also for peace of mind hope it eases for you tough and typical aways happens when you have plans doesnt it lol fx 4 u xxx

Angel - definitely get checked out hun, as a pp said even if it's just for peace of mind. Typical that you have so many things planned over the next few days, but babies just have this thing of arriving when it's most inconvenient!!

Dday - pretty much as Kim said, you don't feel any pain while getting the actual surgery, just some pulling and tugging. I've always found the spinal so effective when getting the suture that it takes absolutely ages to wear off after! As it wears off you will feel quite sore, mine usually is in the lower tummy area and it feels very crampy, this should tail off in the week after and also you will get spotting, some get more than others but again this usually has tailed off by a week afterwards. When will you be getting the stitch done?

Kim - glad to hear from you, still hanging on in there. Congrats on getting to 34 weeks before getting the suture out. I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable since getting it out and hopefully you can get to 36 weeks before you need to have your section. Will you be getting a planned section if you don't go into labour before term? Also will you be trying to turn your baby?

Hopeful - how are you? Did you get your stitch out today as you said earlier?

 

[kimbotrav]

hi maybe baby hope everythings ok wiht u.....i wont be trying to turn baby my last was breech and they think its because they havent enough room to trun around where i had a septum in my uterus and its stil quite heartshaped but i am booked in for csection at 29 weeks so hoping to go into labour before then just cant belivev i have made it 34 weeks 36would be fab then ill be all ready for his arrival xxxx

hello everyone getting a cerclage placed in a couple weeks does it hurt kinda scared of being awake while they perform it

No it doesn't hurt at all. Keep your eyes closed and picture holding your baby! I had one 2 weeks ago and it was a rescue so even though I was in there, if the doctor opened up the vajayjay and felt t wasn't safe, he wasn't going to do it. Talk about nervous. You can do it!!! We all did. After though, i felt like I had a tampon in. Some feel nothing! Praying for you!

Hi ladies,

Just to keep you updated. I rang the hospital this morning and they have asked me to come in to see a consultant. Hopefully it is nothing but I just don't feel right. Will keep you posted as to what they say x x x

 

[Hopeful 4 #1]

Kim.. why was your stitch removed at week 34?

 

[Agiboma]

@hopeful how did you make out, hope all is well!

 

[baby_maybe]

Kim - I'm fine thanks, have my 24 week midwife appointment today, no consultant until 26 weeks Little man has been moving around lots so hopefully everything is fine and I can relax for another couple of weeks!

I didn't realise you had a septum, that explains the not turning then! Hope you get a bit further on before your section

Hopeful - glad you got the steroids in, they make a huge amount of difference. Keep us updated

Angel - good luck with getting checked out, let us know how you get on

 

[kimbotrav]

[baby_maybe]

Kim.. why was your stitch removed at week 34?

hi hopeful i had it removed as i had been contracting on and off for weeks and had a lot of bleeding was loosing my plug and the last night i couldnt even sleep as iwas in so much pain so my consultant took the decition it needed to come out. as soon as it came out which was a nigtmare in is self i felt much better down there and am now home after 1 night stay in hospital to see when or if i go intolabour. so happy the stitch got me this far i had it as an emergency at 18 weeks as i was very short and dilated to 1cm had my last baby at 29 weeks. now its waiting game hoping to get to 36 weeks xx
just redingback through have you had yours removed to?? x

 

[kimbotrav]

i bet u will babymaybe not long now it will fly by never thought id get to 34 weeks u can do it 2 xx

 

[Prayerfulmom2]

Oh my so happy for you guys! Everyone is at or past viability. I have 7 more weeks to go! Don't you all give birth and I'm the only one left! Lol somebody better carry past 40 weeks at least until I'm 26... I'm only at 19 and 1!!!! but seriously I'm happy for all you soon to be post cerclage Mimas!!! anyone having a c section? That's the plan for me... I also wanted an abdominal cerclage placed at the same time so I don't have any more emergencies in the future. Any advice? Or is it too soon to start asking?

 

[baby_maybe]

I'm sure I'll still be here at past 40 weeks hun, my last one stayed in until 41+3 even though the stitch was removed at 36!!

Not having a section, unless something happens later on that determines that for me.

I'm not sure about the abdominal suture and when you would get it placed. I think they only tend to place those where the is evidence that a cervical suture does not work for an individual. You can always ask your OB next time you see them and see what they're thoughts are on it.
