Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[baby_maybe]

That's good reasoning. I've had very settled babies in the past, I get the feeling that this one might be different, I mean I can't get 4 quiet ones in a row, can I?

Maybe he'll make up for them Keep u on ur toes!

Audrey is already a wild child in there, so I figure she'll be the same once she's out.

@ tink lol yes i hear you for wild, this little one does things i cant even imagine or figure out what she is up too

 

[Tink_0123]

@ Abi, yep yep.. That's why I came up with my theory. This little girl is gonna have me running around pulling my hair, so I better take advantage of the rest I am getting now.

 

[baby_maybe]

This little man does too, I was just sitting here watching my bump moving and wondering what on earth he is up to in there

 

[Agiboma]

@babymaybe doing the exact same thing here, bump moving a kick here a jab somewhere else im like really when are you planning on sleeping LO

Yesterday and today has been so confusing here in the hospital. After my OB did more digging into my specialist appt on Wednesday I found out I am still one centimeter dilated, but my cervix went from 4 cm to 2.5 cm in one week. Cervix is funneling and membranes are still bulging. If pressure is added my cervix thins even more. I still have bathroom privileges for now, but am now down to showering ever 3 days. The doctors don't sound too confident that I will make it to 28 weeks, but that is our goal. I might be transferred to a different hospital next week Wednesday if things don't stay exactly the same since this current hospital's nicu doesn't take babies under 2.2 pounds. I'm just so worried about the health of my babies knowing they might be 3 months premature.

Love- that is similar to my situation as far as cervix going from 3 to under 2 in one week with being on bedrest. Do u already have a cerclauge in? I hope that you can get there to 28 weeks

Congrats Ich and Prayer on the safe arrival of your babies!
I know you're worried Prayer, but sounds like she's doing great. Fingers crossed she continues to do well!

AFM Sadly we lost my Dad this week. I'm heartbroken as I loved him so very much, and he won't meet my baby. However if things do go wrong with the baby I'll be glad he's not around to see it as it would devastate him.

The scan today went well, now at 35mm :-D up from 29mm last week. Didn't get a 2nd opinion on the gender, so I'm sticking with girl for now and crocheting pink stuff for her. We told dad the names we'd picked. Not sure he was very keen! Arya was our first choice for a girl, but this week I've got Ava stuck in my head... so we'll see. And Michelle for her middle name after my Dad.

Hope everyone else is doing well xxx

lch - eagerly awaiting an update from you and pictures of your little man! hope you're doing well and recovering from your section quickly.

prayerful - beautiful name! will you be calling her by a nickname? (Missy, Mel, etc.) how is she doing today?

chocolatecat - I am so very sorry for your loss! your measurments are great and I'm sure no matter what name you pick out, your dad would have loved it.

everyone else - I have been keeping up with everyone, I promise. Just feeling lazy so not going to read back through and say "hope you're doing well" to every single person! As it is: I hope you're all doing well!


As for me - my girls are 2 months old today! I'm looking forward to their first pediatrician appointment on Tuesday - I want to know how much weight they have gained since coming home. In the NICU, they were eating 1.3oz at a time and now they eat between 1.5 and 3oz at a time! So it will be interesting to see how they're doing with one-on-one (or, really, one-on-two ) care.

 

[Agiboma]

@chocolate im sorry for your loss, but good news on teh increase cervix length
@Shelby YEAHHHH for 2 moth bf milestone, glad to hear the girls are thriving and upping their intake, cant wait to hear about their new weight.
@Ish and prayerful hope you ladies are recovering well
