I'm sorry Amy. I would side with caution. I know it sucks but I wouldn't chance it. I'm on strict and I spent thanksgiving on the couch with my husband and daughter and plan to do the same on Christmas too. :/

Hey, were you funneled when you were on modified? Also how was your cervix measuring when you were on modified? I'm asking because I'm funneled and my cervix per the dr was .5

 

[AmyLouise89]

From what I know my cervix are still perfect length...guess will find out Dec 28 at ultrasound how they are doing.

 

[lch28]

prayerful i was funnelled but not to my stitch when i was put on modified. At 20 weeks my cervix went from 4.6 cm to 2.7, with a tiny but of funneling, and doc put me on mbr. at 28 weeks i was funnelled to my stitch and my water bag is resting on my stitch. my cervix was 1.9 cm so doc put me on strict br. at 30 weeks it looked exactly the same so he said back to modified.

amy im sorry hun, strict means only up for bathroom and shower =[

Agiboma, did you get your TAC during this pregnancy or before you got pregnant. I'm 24 weeks 2 days now and I had an emergency cerclage at 17 weeks and crazy enough, after this pregnancy I want at least one more and I was considering talking to my dr about a TAC. I had a c section with my first and I'm scheduled for one with this one and I was going to ask if he could do it during the section and save me a surgery....

 

[Agiboma]

I got my TAC @ 16 weeks gestation, I told the DR. i did not want another TVC and i was very firm about it. TVC failed on me X2 with my son i had the first tvc @ 15 weeks, it began to funnel and bulging membranes @ 23 weeks then @ 24 weeks i had another tvc placed which lasted a lovely 10 days and then i had my son @ 25+2, so with this pregnancy TVC is the last thing i wanted and did not feel it was the right thing for me.
With this TAC pregnancy everything is different, i dont feel the pressure i used to with my son, not loosing my plug early etc. I truely did not beleive i would make it to this point and be int eh condition that i am in. I actually have hope something that i never had with my son, i was to filled with worry. I read back on your post Prayerful and i hope you do get a TAC for your next pregnancy, it will put your mind @ ease. GL

Hello ladies,

Hope everyone is doing wonderfully today

Abigoma - with a TAC is place, did have to do any bed rest? are you on bed rest now or can you just go about with your regular day to day activities? Can you still work? I am curious, I would like to look into it, don't know if my dr will do it a s I've never had a stitch put in before.

 

[Agiboma]

@ tink Im am suppose to be on MBR put i have a 29 month old that does not make that possible. I just go about with my activities of daily living. I left him up all the time and care for him the best i could. So my life is normal if i had a non stressful job im sure i could work just fine. As the weeks go by i get more confident that ill make it to term,(knock on wood)

Great to see your LO still baking agiboma, that TAC is obviously the best thing for you judging by the success of it compared to the tvc's you had last time.

I'm much the same with a tvc, it's my 4th one and I've been able to go about my normal daily life without too much concern for my cervix. I obviously try not to do any heavy lifting of too much hoovering etc, but other than that life carries on as normal!

Sorry, but what's a ttc ( new to this)

 

[baby_maybe]

Sorry thats me and my iPad spell checking for me! It was meant to say tvc! I've edited the original post now so it makes sense

 

[AmyLouise89]

Sorry if tmi but anyone else get sharp pains in anus? I was thinking hemmoroids but not constipated. Just making sure its not a bad sign? It just started fought.

 

[baby_maybe]

I do occasionally, but it's usually when I need the bathroom and it feels a lot like pressure too which sometimes freaks me out, but then it goes as soon as it starts if you see what I mean. I just put it down to how big baby is now, but I know you're not as far along as I am.

If it carries on and is worrying you, you should probably call the docs office

=\ so last night at 2:30AM i had some spotting. it was only once when i whiped and then it stopped, it never went on my underwear and it wasnt that much. so i called my doctor in the middle of the night freaking out . he asked if i was in pain and i said no and he said if i wasnt in pain it couldnt be my stitch and to go to the hospital if i bleed more or am in pain. i feel fine and only saw blood that once but im worried. what could it have been?!
