Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[Twinkle 3]

Thankyou for all your advice ladies your all brilliant and made me feel so much better. Cant wait until the procedures done and all is ok. Its nice to to hear that alot of you have all had the cervical stitch and the procedure was successful x

Baby maybe when you had your stitch was the consultant bothered about the risk of infection due to gbs? I dont know if i should be worried ? Im scared the infection will be present and will infect the stitch?x

After my c section spinal I had bad shivers. It's very common. To those anticipating their stitch, I got a c section with just a spinal and it took about 45 mins. I felt nothing! So you guys will do lovely. My anesthesiologist was real sweet she told me the dr ran the sharpest instrument over my belly and I didn't flinch. She kept reminding that I wasn't in control and to relax. I was blessed to have such sweet staff. While getting your stitch ladies, think of that precious life inside you and you'll find courage you didn't know you had. If you get nervous easily close your eyes as you're rolled in the " theatre/ operating room" as that was the scariest part for me (I work as a nurse so I knew what all the equipment was used for). Just breathe and thing sweet thoughts. Ps shave you're legs, paint your toes and groom your whoohaa lol my stitch was an emergency so I was unprepared yikes! And I work with those people lol

Twinkle - no not really, he's pretty laid back about most things though to be honest. I've swabbed for the gbs since the stitch and he won't treat it except for in labour. He completely believes that there's no point because it can be there one day and not the next.

Shaving! I remember when I used to do that, 10 months ago! I did actually go into my c-section with my legs freshly shaved. Everything else...nope. Honestly, after 2 weeks in the hospital, I was so over caring about that!

Also, I LOVED my spinal. I was freezing and as soon as the spinal kicked in, everything from my chest down was sooo warm. I didn't feel a thing, of course. I didn't even know they started, actually, until the anesthesiologist told me. At which point I yelled out, "WAIT! You can't start yet! Stop!" because OH hadn't come back in yet. He was brought in about 30 seconds later, but I was very concerned about him walking in and seeing my guts and stuff.

Sorry for going all off-topic! My main point: spinals are awesome. I did have the shakes after, because I was getting cold again. The nurses brought me 3 warm blankets, plus the sheet and blanket that were already on my bed. I do have one tip: if you tense up when you're nervous, consciously try not to. I was so tense that in recovery, when I finally started to relax, I got the worst headache/shoulder ache from being so tense.

Ugh i was so hairy when jonathan was born. He came early in my defense ! Lol. I didnt feel pain during the c section but i def felt them pull him out

 

[Agiboma]

^^^^ I didnt feel any pain at all just a lot of tugging, and pulling

 

[lch28]

Yeaa it felt so weird

 

[Agiboma]

^^^It totally did and my son was a 25 weeker so i can only imagine what a full term baby feels like. I even asked the nurse is it supposee to feel like this and she's like you are having a baby so be breave. I must say i have the lowest tolerance for pain, so i was scared. But the stitching up took much longer than the actual section itself.

Ladies have an appt today was wondering can ob check cervix without a manual like looking.

 

[Tink_0123]

Day, in my understanding OB can only see if cervix is dilated by looking; however they typically do a manual exam to check on the length and firmness of the cervix. Hope this helps.. GL at your appt.

 

[DAYDAY24]

Thanks tink I had a manual a week and a half ago but would like her to check for dilation

Just having a nice moment, she's been kicking really hard and for little bursts at time, and my Oh managed to feel some kicks! So pleased he's had that connection as he never felt Quinn. I'm not sure he ever kicked that hard.
