[wunderful78]

So many great things happening on this thread , I love coming here checking out what's happening everyone is doing so well congrats on home time day day

Wunderful, almost 33 weeks, thats fantastic!!

 

[wunderful78]

Oh I forgot to say I had a scan yesterday and my boy is looking good he measures about a week ahead and at 2.3kgs my dr wants to keep me on progesterone til 36 weeks? Because of my threatened ptl ? I know anything can happen as I'm down to my stitch and baby is engaged but I'm feeling good that I can stay this way for a few more weeks and who knows maybe more

Sounds like you're carrying a whopper in there, that's awesome.. Progesterone is great, I think I wouldn't have made it this far without using it for as long as I did. It'll definitely help stabilize your cervix and keep baby cooking for several more weeks.

 

[Agiboma]

Yep, progesterone brought me a very far also,
@tink your dh is funny, giving birth in the car lol

Chocolate, Thank you for that. If I'm seeing it correctly the results for the suppositories are safer than the 17P?? Pretty awesome we have you in here since this is in your line of work.

Sweet, thank you for sharing. Ummm if you put the suppository anally does it still get into the system?

Agi, Tink and Wunderful...Which type of progesterone have you all been on? Suppositories or 17P injections? Just curious.

Also Tink, My husband was pretty calm until it was time. He is an RN at the hospital we had our little girl at. It was good I had a Doula in the room for our C-section because he got white and started to feel faint. She noticed and was able to get him the care he needed while I was on the table.

It was both a shock to see his wife opened up...totally different than watching a patient your not acquainted with and 2. it was the same hospital he helped deliver our son in and he passed away 25 minutes later. So my husband was quite anxious about our daughters well-being as well.

Just make sure someone keeps an eye on your sweet guy. Sometimes their anxieties can overwhelm them and they can faint. I didn't believe my Aunt when she said he may faint because of my husbands medical background but it took me by surprise when it actually happened. Not all of them do this but I know specifically our guys have gone so much WITH us that it can really be overwhelming for them.

MA, I was on 200 mg of vaginal suppositories daily, which I would insert after my last visit to the bathroom before going to sleep, I'd wash my hands with antibacterial soap n hot water n not touch anything with that hand. I was a bit paranoid lol.

About DH idk what to say lol poor guy is more nervous than me even. I know he can wait in the waiting room or if hes in the room with me hell sit in a corner away from seeing the 'action' my mom is going to b there too but shes a fainter lol. To sum it all up, my support team is a bit weak but I hope they can keep it together when the time comes.

Ironically, there was a report in the news about a lady who gave birth in Walmart bc she didnt have time to get to the hospital and that ofcourse didnt help with his fear that baby will come super fast. I think he's a bit traumatized lol

 

[wunderful78]

Ma , same as tink , 200mg vaginally , did the last toilet of the night , showered scrubed hands with abacterial cleaner even put half a cap of dettol in the mix for a while , kept nails trimmed , I was overly paranoid also , I've heard of rectally though I just did what my ob told me

 

[Agiboma]

@MA same here 200mg vaginal suppositories daily, first took cyclogest then when i got back to Canada i started on prometrium.

 

[DAYDAY24]

being released today yay. doc scared me with the increase of possibility of water breaking due to cervix being short but i have no dilation which is great.

 

[Agiboma]

congrats day enjoy!!!!!!

 

[lizziedripping]

Great news Day Has it occured to you yet that you just might go all the way in this pregnancy? My cervix was short too below the stitch AND I was funneled to it - no broken waters here Keep resting Mama

Good luck in your 2ww MA

 

[DAYDAY24]

lizzie sometimes i do think ill go all the way then i think if i get to the 30s ill be more calm lol

 

[Mommy's Angel]

WTG DAYDAY! Great news to start the day off. Woohoo!

 

[Tink_0123]

Awesome news Day!! Keep those positive thoughts coming.. Ull make it well into ur 30's, you've done great getting this far, no doubt u'll make it all the way..

 

[ShelbyLC]

Congratulations, Day! Try not to worry about your waters going. I was dilated with no cervical length left for two weeks before my water broke.

Tink - I am OVER THE MOON about you being 37 weeks! If I remember correctly, I was still pregnant when you joined over here! You've done so well getting this far, I'm so excited for you, and I can't wait to see pictures of Audrey.

MA - Good luck on your TWW!

Everyone else - I haven't been able to keep up with you new(er) ladies, my twins keep me busy (not sure how you do it, Lizzie, with 4 kiddos running around!), but I hope you're all doing well and keep on cooking for a while longer.

Prayer - I know your frustration with the brady spells. Britton had to stay an extra 7 days because she had one. Missy will be home soon, she has done wonderfully.


AFM - My girlies will be FOUR MONTHS OLD on Monday! Where in the world has time gone?! I feel like they JUST turned 3 months old!

From yesterday: (Tegan in blue/polka dots, Britton in greenish blue/whatever you would call that color )

[Tink_0123]

Shelby, T & B are sooooo cute

Yea, I'm in shock I've made it to 37 weeks lol truthfully I've been thinking its gonna be anyday now for over a month

 

[sweetbuthyper]

sorry ment to reply earlier but been busy today.

MA yes it will get in to your system rectally, as fast as vaginally, reason being is its absorbed really quickly and its the same reason they give pain killer suppositories rectally, that and because teh stomach can't attack them in the case of pain killers. My pills cyclonest state in the instructions they can be used either way, i have had no sickness with them but they can cause wind sometimes.
