Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[Craigswife]

Monro, I felt like I needed to pee after my stitch. It passed by the next day, I think it may have been my bladder just irritated by the intervention. Hope you have a quick recovery x

Monro it's nice to hear your stitch placement went well
Crampings normal
To be honest I don't know if anyone else feels like this but since stitch placement I always had the urge to wee and it's been painful especially when my bladder is full. I don't know if it's how the baby is laid or the side affect of the stitch.
I have been checked many times for infections and even been on antibiotics to make sure I didn't have anything but the urge and pain still remains whichjs strange but I'm use to it now

Thanks everyone

Oh no twinkle don't tell me that I hate that feeling.

 

[monro84]

when I had my last stitch in I had some cramping for about 12 hours and then it went........so I hope yours will be the same............ best of luck and take it easy for a few days.............i went back to work too soon and went a bit wafty after the spinal ..........

Dr got me off work for a week hopefully that's long enough.

 

[shanny]

yes that sounds like a godd idea and rest rest rest.......................

Monro, what advice did they give you about life after the stitch? My ob is so laid back about it and says to carry on life as normal, but avoid baths and strenuos activities. she said at our last visit we could resume having sex.....I'd be much too scared! I was signed off for a week following the stitch, which helped. My job is a desk job, so I can take it easy at work anyway, I reckon I get more rest than I do at home with my lively 4yr old, lol!!

 

[shanny]

no baths - i never got that advice just carry on as normal ish.............I am knackered by about 11 am anyway................. but I love my nice hot baths???????????????

Agi, so sorry for the hospital stay. Praying you'll be on the mend soon.

I am NOT a good patient. When it came to the cerclage I was okay. What I HATED was the inability to move from my neck down. I do not like being out of control in any way. So after the procedure I kept telling the nurse I was going to get up and was ready to get to my room. She chuckled and told me "go ahead". I tried and I got frustrated. 2 hours later I was up to my room but my butt was still numb. I didn't let them know because I was afraid they wouldn't let me go still having the numb feeling. I am stubborn and to my knowledge I think I have high pain tolerance or I wouldn't try to push through so much. As I said in a prior post...they probably have me down as a PITA.

He said to not lift anything over 10 lbs I could only get up to eat use bathroom and take a shower. Off work for week. However he is pretty cautious.

I am a little freaked out right now. I went to pee and pushed a little to make sure it was all out I started wiping and there was blood however I figured it just pooled because I was laying down well about the 4th wipe there was a lot of mucus like egg white type that had a lot of blood in it but after that came out the bleeding lessened however cramps started back. And now I have a pain on my left side low by my hip bone in front and directly behind that area in my back. Anyone had anything like this after surgery?

I'd call your OB or go to L&D to have them check you out. Don't want to scare you but this is best to be checked just in case.

I'm not sure if you have a stitch or when you had it put in but if you've just had the stitch put in that can sometimes cause this to happen as well.

Good news is your 34wks now. Try and calm your mind. If you need to have it out earlier, don't be stubborn. Only YOU know your own body so if you think you can wait until Wed. then go ahead. If it seems unbearable please be sure to go in and have them check it out again.

Monro if your talking about after you had your stitch I had bloody mucus for days and back ache and cramps for a day or so also ! I had a spinal block and when that wore off I had pain , not intolerable but never the less pain killer relief necessary pain, also my blood was bright red just mixed with quite a bit of clear stuff ... Ew !! I'm not sure when you had the stitch but my best bet is your ok get checked out if you need to Hun !

By wed, you'll be 35 + 4 which is really good if baby decides to come hopefully baby hangs in there till stitch removal. Are u scared of the stitch coming out or of baby coming soon afterwards?

 

[wunderful78]

Hi hope , a bit of both funny enough I'm scared of labour and nervous of that and the complications that may happen , the stitch removal is being done without a spinal ahhhhhh scary , I feel happy to have made 35 weeks and grateful too omg that's amazing I've come so far

Hi monro try not to worry, you have had a foreign body put into your body, I felt worse the day after surgery, I felt achey, crampy and my back was killing me. I didn't really do much just rest completely. I got told discharge can be bloody, orange, yellow white mucus after surgery as your body is trying to get rid of the foreign body that's in you, I was told not to be alarmed unless I had more blood than a period and for resting, I say rest as much as you feel necessary. My consultant told me to carry on normal life after the stitch, go shopping, swimming etc as the stitch will hold but I just psychically can't do it as the more I do the more I ache and the pressure gets worse so I decided to listen to my body and rest so I don't hurt.
Then my midwife put me on bed rest and then my consultant agreed that I should just rest as I was having so many aches. So I was right to listen to my body hopefully listening to it means I have done the right thing to get me to atleast 24weeks.
