Can you call the OB triage line at your hospital? They'd probably be able to tell you what's happening.

i called my ob and he said id know if it was my water but idk =[

Not true with my daughter I didn't know it was my water.. It was a slow trickle. Get checked to ease your mind

Ditto. I just had a small leak for a while. It doesn't hurt to get checked. (I mean, I won't lie, it's uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt. )

I will say though, before you freak out, in the two or three weeks before I did actually get that little leak, my discharge changed and became very watery. I had to start wearing panty liners every day because I was changing underwear so much, it was not al all good for my laundry basket.

Shelby it's good to see ladies still pop in and check on us after their babies show up! How are you and the little ones? Ps, change your profile , you're no longer preggers!!! Yay for you!!!

Completely forgot! Thanks!

I'll stick around for sure. Especially since I'm one of the few around here (that I know of) that never had a cerclage. Not a lot of info out there for ladies who have IC but aren't able to get a stitch put in. So I'll help when I can.

Shelby they are both absolutely beautiful, you must be so proud x x x x

Ich - how're you? Did you get checked in the end? Th ladies are right that waters can trickle, but it's also common for discharge to feel like leaking waters. I has patches of water but it turned out to be discharge or urine - never found out which. As for your earlier question about your cervix not changing by Friday - that is totally possible. Because your membrane is bulged through the gap, it does raise your risk of rupture, but is by no means a forgone conclusion. Let us know how you are now

Amy - how did the appt go? Is your cervix still behaving? Praying that you get your cerclage soon honey and with no dramas

Shelby, Angel - how are your girls? Xx

Penuche - yey for v-day

Any baby news from our 'ladies in waiting', Kim and Hope? Lol xxxx

 

[lch28]

thanks ladies, i have an awful cold and didnt log on really today.. im guessing it was discharge bc it stopped but i have an OB appt in the AM so ill mention it to him.. also have to take my 3 hr glucose, failed 1 hr =[

lizzie - ive been getting really odd sensations in my cervix. some times it feels like a tickle but it hurts. also today whenever i stand i get a shooting pain in my cervix. ive never felt anything like it. do you think its just the baby moving etc? i just have felt very, different down there

Ultrasound showed cervix average about 3cm still but tech said she wishes Dr would do my cerclage tomorrow before any significant changes occur since I'm past 16 weeks now. Got an appt tomorrow with ob so hopefully we get good news about doing cerclage asap. How many cm does your cervix have to get before start to dilate/membranes bulging again?

 

[lch28]

3 cm is a good length hun. you could be .2 cm and not be bulging im pretty sure
