Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[wunderful78]

Morning happy birthday to you too hope I had a good sleep finally!

Twinkle they will check your cervix with a speculum if the cervix is opening or pulling at the stitch badly they will remove it , mine was ok they did a manual exam and 1 day later an ultrasound and thankfully my labor was false labor and caused no dilation or stitch damage , I was scared but I'm thankful they left the stitch in place!

Ich I hope johnothans ok

Everyone is progressing its really exciting big tummys happy mummy's

Midori hi, I would get regular checks,any surgery that damages the cervix is a predictor of IC not saying it will happen but it's one of the causes so safe than sorry is a good approach

I'm still in hospital and I'm doing ok at least I feel well and baby is still inside

Love steel I hope your ok ;( I went through this on Tuesday and my 3rd ptl drug bombardment .. Made me so sick too , fast pulse headaches low blood pressure felt like I was better off dead ;( I think I will refuse next time I don't think I can go through it again I really understand how sick you feel Hun and feel so sorry for you ;(

Hello Ladies, hope everyone is well.

Hope, Happy Birthday almost 32 weeks, yay

Wunderful, Happy Birthday , glad they were able to stop your labor, so sorry to hear you're so far away from your loved ones, but just think you're in the best place possible at this time and this is only temporary. Congrats on making it to 29 weeks!!

Day, although HBR is not much fun, you and your boys are being well looked after. Glad you're doing well sweetie

Agi, Congrats on 34 weeks hun!!

Baby, hopefully Ruben won't keep you waiting much longer.

Prayer, glad both you and Missy are doing well hoping Missy's ROP resolves itself shortly.

Ich, FX that Jonathans procedure will have the best result possible, please try not to worry. I'll have you both in my thoughts.

AFM, went to OB appt yesterday, had the GBS swab done, now just waiting on the results. All went well, doctor was really happy on how everything has been going till this point. 2 more weeks of bed rest left yay!!

So missy used her first bottle feed as mouthwash! Lol she took two sucks and that was it! Epic fail! Lol oh well at least she's healthy. We will try again Monday.

 

[TLM21]

prayerful that's a first step, congratulations. soon you will tell us you much bottle feeds she is having. glad she is healthy!

 

[Agiboma]

@prayerful ahhh dont feel bad two suks that is great, she is only 33 weeks she's probably thinking whoa when i suck more milk comes what do i do with it. I think it was a great first attempt, becuase they dont get the suck, swallow, reflex developed until 34 weeks. Great attempt Missy, dont worry very soon she will master it ooo.

im pretty much sofa/bed bound now i only feel good when i rest all day long. if i stand or walk for long periods i get bad pressure which scares me. any way i have been told not to rest too much by a doctor due to the riak of blood clots. what have you ladies on bed rest or the ladies whos been on bed rest done to prevent blood clots? should i be doing leg exercises and asking for compressiom stockings?

doctors made me paranoid now about somthing else

im happy you are all doing well. prayerfull you made me laugh when you said missys using her formula as mouthwash. it sounds so cute she will get thr hang of it soon enough..atleast shes trying. my little girl was fed by syringe first then got promoted to bottles when she learnt to drink the milk she was born at 29weeks

 

[TLM21]

twinkle you can use compression stockings, sometimes I do. I try to keep my legs higher than my body. do a few leg exercises like flexing and pointing. I also get up to go to the bathroom probably once an hour, go to the kitchen to fix up something, and take a shower. otherwise I'm resting.
try to rest a little more if you feel better, just don't go for long walks or carry anything heavy. maybe your body it's telling you to slow down a little.

I'm sure the rest of the ladies could tell you better ways to rest, or maybe tell you what they are doing.

 

[Twinkle 3]

Thankyou TlM for the info do you feel pelvic pressure? It's what iv been feeling a lot of lately and it only goes away when I rest. The more I stand or walk the worse it gets? Don't know if it's normal to still feel pressure with a stitch in

 

[Prayerfulmom2]

Good news! 4 pounds 2 ounces. She took a whole bottle this morning and a boob for lunch!! so happy

 

[Tink_0123]

Thats awesome news Prayer!! Great weight gain, looks like her sucking reflex are coming in.. One step closer to going home.. Im so happy for the both of you !

 

[Twinkle 3]

Well done to missy, hopefully she will be home soon now she's got the hang of the bottle feeding

 

[DAYDAY24]

Thats great prayerful!

 

[TLM21]

prayerful so so excited for you and Missy, great weight! bottle and boob, fantastic
tink when I see youR ticker with only 14 days off of bed rest,.makes me happy, congratulations!
twinkle I do feel pressure when I stand sometimes, usually it eases when I lay down. if you feel that pressure consult with your Dr, try to rest iF it feels better.

 

[wunderful78]
