Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[lch28]

awww thanks shelby, im so happy too i just cant believe it Im so overwhelmed, oh my god. i feel like there is so much to do and so little time.. I currently have all my baby things in a gigantic pile of boxes etc. ive only washed the clothes for the hospital bag im waiting till he is born to wash the newborn clothes (actually, to send my mom to wash them) since im worried he wont fit in them! lol , i have GD and im measuring 37 weeks at the moment tomorrow i have an ultrasound to find out how big he is..

i cant belive the girls are coming home soon. im so happy for you and you have done soo well.

Ich you are doing great, i guess you should buy some 3-6 months clothing instead of the newborn or 0-3 months stuff. I decided to buy big this time around because they grow out of stuff so fast.

I get braxton hicks all the time too lch. Most of the time with me it's not activity that sets them off, but when he moves around a lot, I think it irritates my uterus! I'm measuring ahead too, but haven't got GD, as far as I know anyway. I've got the consultant on weds so hopefully he'll have a plan, maybe send me for a growth scan or get to have a GTT to rule it out or maybe even both I suppose. Also little man has been breech recently so will be interesting to see if they still think he is or not. Oh and I also get to book in for my stitch removal, which should hopefully be in about 4 weeks time

Hey everyone..just wanted to update y'all. I woke up this morning bleeding bright red blood (lots) so came straight to l&d. Ultrasound shows cerclage, cervix & baby are great but my placenta is bleeding..Dr is suspecting its from me sneezing so much yesterday cause of cold. I'm stuck flat on my back in hospital Til bleeding quits...which I got a feeling wont be anytime soon cause I'm starting to sneeze again.

Sorry to hear that Amy, glad its not cervix related. Hopefully once you get the sneezing under control the bleeding will stop and you'll be allowed home

Aww amy hope it stops soon

Hey guys. So I saw my MFM today. Cervix was .5 last visit and this visit it was .49. Baby looks great. She's measuring 2 pounds 1 ounce. She's all curled up in a breech position so they don't know how long. Yay for her weight!! He said I cAn sit up a little each day and to not stand for more than 15 minutes at a time. I'm excited. He did a FFN test and said if its positive he will do Another round of steroids. At least 11 weeks to go !

Thats great prayer . How long ago was your last length check ? Im happy it has lengthen

Thanks. Last check was one month ago. It was .5 and now it's .49 so it went down a drop :/ I'm satisfied though that over a month it hasn't really changed.

Amy, sorry to hear about the bleeding, hopefully itll go away soon. Can they give u something to minimize the sneezing??

Prayer, love the LO's weight, yay!! about the CL, although it hasnt changed much, at least it has remained stable, so thats good!!

Im super curious about how my my LO weights, she hasnt been weighed since 21 weeks. Might ask dr to schedule a growth scan when I go on Thursday. Shes been going wild in there, and def has grown a lot recently. DH freaks out when he puts his hand on my belly and she starts wiggling all over the place lol

Ich, its so wonderful to have reached 34 weeks, I cant wait till I get there, feeling a bit jealous lol. Im hoping time passes quickly, so I can hold my little girl in my arms, really looking forward to that. Im sure you must be feeling the same too

 

[baby_maybe]

Amy stay off google. Google it when it's resolved. You don't need to worry!!!!!!! It will get better soon! Hold on

 

[Tink_0123]

Seriously stay away from google.. I am one that used to google everything, esp. when I found out I could possibly have IC and I almost had a stroke from all the bad stuff I read. Keep in mind that the majority of people post when theyve had negative experiences, rarely good ones.

So, when in doubt, write to us on here or call ur dr.. Im sure one of us might be able to answer us concerns .. Hope u get better

 

[AmyLouise89]

Bleeding is turning darker like old blood thankfully..

 

[lch28]

amy i hope everythings ok hun

 

[baby_maybe]

Ah yes, Dr Google, everyone's worst enemy But seriously, anyone that ever had a bad experience posted it somewhere so google picks it up when you search for things. Just reading this one thread you realise the percentages are way different from what google would have you believe!

Amy - great news about the blood, sounds as if it is tailing off a bit now

 

[lch28]

Happy 32 weeks!! ^^

Hi ladies Just checking in to see how everyone is. Prayer - great news lovely, so pleased things have remained stable for you. Time's marching on honey, won't be long now before you're at 30wks

You too Tink, can't believe you're already 27wks. There's no reason now why things shouldn't stay as they are for weeks to come. Such a relief, hope you're allowing yourself to relax a little?

Amy - don't panic sweetie. Bleeding like this is very common in ' normal' pregnancy. I had it at 11/12wks with the twinnies - it was gushing and bright red. It stopped within a day and turned brown for a few days. It is staggering sometimes just how much blood you can lose but baby and associated bits and pieces are absolutely fine. Remember how vascular that whole area is, the slightest disturbance and it bleeds profusely sometimes from an area which is teeny. Thinking of you tonight

Ich and baby - you're next You're almost there yey xxx

Off to bed now - at the Christmas pantomime (Cinderella) tomorrow with all 4 kiddies - its first time we've taken the twins. At 2.5 they're old enough to appreciate it now. Should be fun
