Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[baby_maybe]

I get them every time I turn over in bed as well as frequently throughout the day. They're uncomfortable, not painful but they don't half get on my nerves, especially the ones on the middle of the night. I mean it's hard enough getting comfortable as it is without having to wait for a BH to go before I can get snuggled down properly!

So it's 12 midnight and we are having serious constipation problems! My 21 month old is screaming and trying to poop. This is the worse we've seen it as she can't even sleep. It's been going on for 2 weeks now.. The doctor gave her lactulose I think it's called. She drinks lots of water and freshly squeezed apple and oranges. Any suggestions ladies to at least get her to sleep till morning. I am at my wits end.

Have you tried glcerine suppositories for kids

 

[wunderful78]

Oh the poor little thing , must be painful I personally use metamucil, raw lemon juice, lime juice , prune juice , but she could also have a compacted bowel or obstruction that needs tending too , I hope you and her are ok ;(

Guys I just crawled accross the bed on my hands and knees and watery discharge came out could this just be normal , it wasn't a gush or alot but it was significant (tmi) it went my underwear and had white chalky stuff , prolly from my progesterone supp

@ wonderful does not sound like you waters to me but if unsure always go and get checked out.

 

[baby_maybe]

Wunderful - the white chalky stuff is definitely the suppositories, I've had that too. The discharge was probably just that, I've had different discharge at various times in this pregnancy some of which made me think it was my waters, but it never was. As agi said, if you are at all concerned go get checked, for your peace of mind more than anything

Hope - my dd4 suffers occasionally with constipation and usually a glass of orange juice before bed for a couple of nights get her going. I have fybogel on hand in case it gets bad though. For the pain I normally just give her some calpol xx

Hi Hope

Both my boys had this problem. I was given all sorts and the only thing that worked was Movicol. Its a sachet of powder you add to drinks and it works. The doc will try to fob you off with the lactulose because it is way more expensive but persist. I refused to use suppositories because if you dont know what you are doing it can cause damage or if you use them for to long it can make your daughter dependant on them to go poop. Also if she is still in nappies when she tries to poop lie her down and move her knees up near her belly IYKWIM. It opens up the pelvis and makes it easier. If she is on the toilet make sure that her knees are higher up than her bum. I got a step for my 2 to stand on. This makes the pelvis wider and it easier to go. Hope this helps. xxx

Wunderful, you ok? This sounds like discharge which has always been copious for me during pregnancy (milky and running down my legs - tmi). Waters are the consistency of urine and much more like a leaky tap. Hope youre ok xxx

 

[lizziedripping]

Butterfly, sorry hun, my inbox gets full and it takes me a moment (which I usually dont have lol) to empty and save the messages - I dont like to just delete them because they're full of really valuable questions etc. it takes an age to organise them into folders etc. i'll try to delete a couple then it should work. Brilliant news about your appt btw xxx

 

[lizziedripping]

Hope, how's lo this morning? Is she actually managing to pass any poop at all? Xx

 

[lch28]

wonderful i always was convinced i was leaking waters, and never was. when i actually was leaking i def knew it. also my waters felt really hot!

hope i hope LO feels better. Jonathan has been constipated from his formula (bfing is just totally not working =[ he actually pushes my boobs away with his hands and screams) and its awful to hear him scream. we had lots of poops yesterday so i think it has passed.

 

[Hope2302]

Thank you ladies. We've been to the Dr's and they still want us to keep using the lactulose. From last night to this evening she keeps pushing out sticky, smelly, coin size poop that you really need about 10 wipes for or more. It's so tiring and she is in pain. She's had orange juice, water, apples, we've just started califig(syrup of figs) prescribed by doctor. She's had 2 tsp which she is meant to have in a day. I have also tried cycling her legs and she did go a couple of mins ago and still no change. I just bought the prune juice but I am scared of using it as I don't want to be using too many things together.

 

[Hope2302]

@ iCh , am glad he has had a poop. Isn't it funny how a good poop can make a parent happy and relieved! We are hoping for one here too.

 

[DAYDAY24]

Had a manual exam yesterday due to tightening of stomach cervix closed but I have been in pain ever since.

 

[sisrael]

Wunderful-I'm sorry..I just joined this group...but how far along are you? Do you have a cerclage? Its prob just normal preg stuff..I agree with the others. When your water breaks, you know it. Its like a faucet.

Day24-Do you have a cerclage too? How far along are you? I know that whenever i have a manual exam, I get tightening in my stomach and just overall don't feel great.
