Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

Happy New Year ladies!! Wishing everyone a wonderful 2013 filled with joy and happiness with the arrival of our little munchkins

Twinkle, usually the OB puts in the stitch and you follow up with the specialist and OB. That's if all this is elective. You may not have been referred yet because your OB knows he will put it in. I would follow up though as soon as you can.

To all the ladies who have had losses, I'm sorry to hear. No one wants to lose a child at any stage. However you all are very strong and so much stronger. We were fortunate enough to be able to conceive and unfortunately weren't paid close attention to by our physicians. One thing is learned though, speak up. We've all learned to open our mouths and advocate Better for ourselves. Losses hurt but at least you were able to share your story with someone else and help them due to your loss. I pray we all forgive and find ways to move past it and love where we are and what we have. Some things we will neve forget and sometimes shouldn't forget but the sun will continue to rise and set and so shall we. On a more positive note.... At least all of us who are still pregnant know we'll deliver sometime THISyear.. big horay for all the beautiful healthy 2013 babies! Lets all type our due date, gender of the baby if known, name of baby if you have one and two pregnancy goals. I we keep our minds on the positive and continue to encourage one another this journey can be a lot better!
Baby girl Melissa- due April 11,2013
Goal one: to be in tune with my body and speak up when I should so i can be at peace knowing I did all I could
Goal two: to have a baby shower for her ( maybe week 30-32) while she's still cooking

A lot of us are due in the first or second week of April! Cool. I'm a scheduled section but my OB first said he wanted me to not go past 38 weeks because I had a previous section. Now he wants me to go to 39.... Any insight ladies?

 

[Agiboma]

When i delivered my son they said nothing past 37 weeks ever because of the cut i had with him, the cut my uterus twice in the shape of an upside down letter "T" anyhow now my DR is saying 38 weeks. I was happy with 37 weeks and thats what i planned for we have not set the date as yet because we are still taking it week by week.

Thanks. I had a low bikini cut so that allows me an extra week but I'm cool with 37 weeks! Lol

Ich I still can't believe your almost 34 weeks. Geese your time is flying. Any advice for a almost 26 Weeker...? I just want off this strict bed rest!!! Silly ol .5 cm cervix!

 

[ShelbyLC]

I love all your babies' names!

Since I don't think I've posted it here yet: Happy New Year! I hope 2013 is great for everyone - including your LOs

My goals for the year:

1. Try my hardest to be a good mother to my girls.
2. Continue to stand my ground and do what I believe is best for my girls, no matter what family thinks.
3. Keep my car and kitchen clean!

 

[lch28]

prayerful, just hang in there babe. what, if anything, can you do? or are you on total strict bed rest? i was on mbr from 20-28, strict from 28-30, and now im not really on it anymore!

^ shelby, i have such difficulty keeping my car clean! my entire room/apartment is spotless, but my car forget it. it needs a good clean/car wash before LO is here!

 

[Hopeful 4 #1]

Sorry I haven't been on much girls. Boy did I not realise how much of my time/life would be taken over having a 3 week old and a toddler!! I hope everyone is well. When I get chance i will scroll through past posts to have a catchup!

Happy New year!

Hope to see more term babies coming out of this thread!

Well my peri is strict. At my 22 week appt he told me he wanted to put on the " full court press". He started me on antibiotics ibuprofen for two days and nifedipine.He said he wanted me laying on my sides and only up for a quick shower and run to the bathroom. My OB on my last appointment said take it easy, told me I could shower daily, drink wine for contractions lol, and take a bath!!!! So confusing. So I have an appointment with the peri on Monday and OB on Wednesday... I'm asking for MODIFIED!! Lol I know I'm not going to do much. But to know the dr said ok to daily showers and sitting up will be cool! Lol

Hi ladies and Happy New Year to you all!! Looking forward to lots of full term babies (or near enough) in 2013.

I know that you don't believe it when you're sitting the 'wrong' side of 30wks, but most of you will end up achieving your dream of a third trimester baby, even after all hope seems to have been lost. Don't give up my lovelies

Hoping everyone is Ok? Have I missed anything, or is there anything I need to answer? I've been flat out entertaining relatives this past week and have lost touch with the thread a little. If anyone would like my thoughts on anything then please give me a nudge - so much quicker than reading back over several pages when I only have the odd few minutes here and there. I love Christmas, but it will be so nice to get back to normal! xxx
