Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[MizzPodd]

Have my appt today to go over platelet results (already know outcome as had this blood disorder with other two pregnancies), blood pressure check and talk about my pre eclampsia, and last but not least CL!! I'm feeling optimistic and hoping no more funneling has occurred as I'm not qualified for cerclauge (as of now) wish me the best ladies!

I hope everyone else is doing decent enough

Can I join you guys? I don't have a stitch/cerclage yet, but I more than likely will. I lost a baby at 23 weeks my last pregnancy to what my doctor told me was an incompetent cervix and said I will be getting a stitch my next pregnancy. I had an absolutely amazing doctor.

Unfortunately I recently moved and haven't even found a doctor here yet. I am 4 weeks and in the process of looking for the right one. I am determined to find someone that will perform a cerclage on me, but I am absolutely terrified that I won't be able to. I don't want what happened before to happen again

Prayer, I honestly never knew or could have imagined you lived so close hehe. I would say to meet up, but life's irony is that both of us are on bed rest lol. So close, yet so far hahaha.. Perhaps when the LO's are born we can have a play date.

Mizz Pod, Good luck today on ur scan. Let us know how everything goes.

Grace, Welcome to the thread. Im very sorry about you previous loss. I hope you're able to find a good dr soon that will perform your cerclage, and give you the peace of mind you need to navigate through this journey. Please keep us posted on your progress dear.

Thank you Baby, I was freaking out the whole time I was there, didn't want to know my CL and even had my eyes covered when she was measuring, like a kid watching a scary movie . When I saw it was 1.5 cm, I couldn't believe it, I was ecstatic. Also, LO is looking great which I was really happy about

AFM, I remember sometime this week telling Prayer about sciatica, well OMG it has hit me with a vengeance lol. It started off on Tuesday, I had a little pinch around my tail bone, yest was the same and TODAY I can barely walk its radiating through my back, lower buttock area and down my right leg. Can barely get to the bathroom a few steps away without limping.

I guess this is something new to add to my list of pregnancy woes lol.

Hope everyone is doing well.. Big and to all..

Welcome grace :wave:

Sorry for your previous loss hun, I wold definitely try and find a doctor on your wave length with regards to doing an elective suture, it will save you lots of worry. I hope you manage to find one soon

 

[baby_maybe]

Aww Tink I sympathise with the sciatica, I had it with dd3 and it was the same leg as you have it. I couldn't weight bare when I was getting dressed for fear of my leg going from underneath me. I ended up wearing a bump support belt which did help quite a lot, although didn't get rid of the pain completely

i'm having a bad day, been resting as i had a busy day yeasterday and bed rest can be helpful in preventing cervical shortening but went out to meet hubby at the supermarket to get food for tea, got all the shopping go to the self servive tills went really dizzy and next thing i know i;m on the floor, having fainted so embarrassing i'm ok minus a twisted ankle and brused writst luckly i landed on my side and not the bump.

beans also having a quiet day, I have a question tho i feel brused down there doesn't really hurt but aches, could this be my cervix or is it most likely from the fall. thinking of ringing the midwife if it doesn't ease up by morning.

 

[Tink_0123]

Baby, I've been walking like frankenstein all day fearing that my leg might give out. Im usually laying in bed, but its ridiculous the way it hits you out of no where, Ill be fine and all of a sudden its a horrible pinchy pain, thank God its I just walk to the bathroom and the couch otherwise id b in trouble. Ill ask the dr if I can take something to relieve the pain or might look into getting a bump support belt in the meantime.

Sweet, I hope you begin to feel better hun. I would def ring the mw just to check on the baby. Idk if its cervix related or not, but when I was still working I'd have to sit for long hours and some days my bits felt bruised. Your bruised ladybits feeling might be from the fall itself, but ask your mw when you call what it could possibly be from.

 

[sweetbuthyper]

well the bruised feeling has eased now probs just baby sat funny its hard not to worry tho. I have felt movement to day just not a lot but baby at this stage has loads of room to move around so i'm sure all is ok, i'm just a worry head.

 

[Tink_0123]

Its quite normal to worry hun, especially since you don't know whats going on in there even if its all happening inside your body, its like a whole diff world in there. Just try to rest as much as u can and try to stay away from the store for a while.

 

[baby_maybe]

Definitely find out if there's something you have take Tink, any things better than suffering with it!

Sweet - I've fainted during pg before too, babies have always been fine. If you get concerned at all though ring the midwife, she wont mind at all

Grace - welcome to the thread!

Tink - your bump is gorgeous!

Amy - I'm thinking of you today

 

[DAYDAY24]

Thanks ladies for replies im just nervous because it dropped within 2weeks. Trying to stay calm every little pain scares me. It took two year to get pregnant again and we are double blessed with twins. I appreciate all you ladies.

Play date sounds cool! I had sciatic pain in my right too! Lol wth? Be careful and watch for BH. Not trying to scare you but two days after the sciatic pain I started with those horrible BH. It turned out missy turned head down and probably triggered it all! I think she's transverse now

 

[Tink_0123]

Happy 28 weeks Prayer!! Audrey's been head down since my 24 week scan, maybe now its causing me more of a problem since she's heavier I suppose. But i'll def be looking out for any extra BH activity. Thanks for the heads up.

Ich, so happy for you hun.. How many weeks will you be when ur induced? Im looking forward to seeing your LO's picture once he's born.

Ich! Don't leave us pregos!hold on for nine more weeks! I'll be 37 then lol! Jp! So happy for you. I think they are waiting so long to take your stick out because they anticipate you going into labor shortly after!!! So happy for you' omg time flew for you it seems. I hope it flies for me too. So looking forward to 32 weeks!!! I'm happy for my 28 though congrats again and enjoy the last few weeks!

 

[baby_maybe]

Aww lch I'm so excited for you. You're having your stitch taken out 3 days after mine comes out, although I'm not being induced that day! lol Hopefully it will start something off but I doubt it Can't wait to see pics of your little man

 

[lch28]

thx so much ladies im so excited and i just feel so blessed. ill be 39 weeks exactly (if i make it! lol. if i didnt have GD hed just take it out and send me home but they will be inducing me because of the diabetes.

baby, maybe our LOs will have the same birthday!! my induction is at 6am. anyone ever been induced? i hear its awful..

 

[baby_maybe]

I don't think my baby will make an appearance that soon after having the suture out tbh, but it would be so cool if their birthdays were close I've never had the extra fluid before so I'm not sure what effect, if any, it will have on my cervix once the suture is out. I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks
