Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

Well went to dr yesterday but regular ob wss not in saw another. He checked baby heart beat and looked at cervix. He said it was closed and he could see the stitch. He said the thought I was fine he said it coud be part of my mucus plug and when the stitch was put in it forced sone out. That makes sense but that was a lot of mucus for such a small area. But not worried about it anymore. Its about quit and bleeding is not much anymore. And the peeing sinsation is not as bad either. Hardly any cramps anymore too. However I did wake up this morning and was having a braxton hicks and dh was even like why is your stomach so tight but I usually get them in the mornings anyways. Not worred about that unless they are pretty frequent.
 
Just try and keep calm and keep cooking! You will know yourself when/if its time to call the hosp. Congrats on getting to 24 weeks also - great progress! xx
 
had sticth in at 17 weeks--now 21 also been having bp issues-not related to stitch i think but you ladies are experts in most things........................

Been sat in garden today ahd a snooze while kids played and my legs were warm - thought it was the sun............anyway when I had a wee I noticed a red rash on inner thigh-but looks like veins...............not bumpy...........just had a look on google images and it does not really look like their pictures as it is flat any ideas??? I have been having problems with blood pressure lately .............but this has been better...................any one?
 
Can really feel the weight of my lil men my hips hurt so bad when I walk they are both head down and seem so low.
 
Thanks ladies for the constipation advice, I tried prune juice, prunes, orange juice, oranges and water, i was ready for calling the hospital but then iv managed to go to the toilet a little :) hopefully I be back to normal ina few days, I'm going to try the hot water and lemon like you said wunderful that sounds like a good idea :)

Constipation is terrible I have been cramping up all day,the gas pains are horrible. My stomach feels like its going to explode! Hoping they ease tomorrow :)

CW I have had pressure and aches in my lower stomach for the last few weeks like you describe. I also have on and off bad pressure in my bum, the hospital arnt concerned and my midwife says the only thing I can do is rest to take the feeling away. Hope your ok :)

Pink sparkle I love the keep calm and keep cooking :) I'm also so thankful for each day I wake up still pregnant, it's a blessing :) I have the panic days too and I have to snap myself out of it

Sweet, your doing brilliant time has flown by I can't believe your 28weeks already :) it just proves the hospital dosnt always know best. I can see you going well past 30 weeks. I can't wait till I hit 24weeks, just praying I get there. I think I will feel like a huge weight has been lifted :) let us know how you get on with your appointments

Jadey I get sharp pains in my lady bits like you say, I actually rang the hospital ages ago asking if it was normal... They will be fed up of me before I'm done lol
The hospital said its normal :)
 
Monro glad to hear all is ok :) Braxton hicks scare me, I get them every day and have to not think about them as the more I panic the more they come, I wish our bodies wouldn't scare us like that. I'm always paranoid they are real contractions

Shanny I can't answer your questions but I'm sure someone will, it might be a reaction from the sun due to our bodies been more sensitive during pregnancy? Or if you say veins could it be spider veins?
 
Cheers Twinkle

have posted in second tri and someone said it might be spider veins and that they fade which i am hopeful for...................got enough body issues already
 
So, after eventually doing a poo and still feeling pressure and heaviness in my lower bump I rang my maternity day assessment centre for advice, the midwife was lovely and asked me to go in for a check up. I was there a couple of hours checking me and listening to my worries, checked baby etc and sent a wee sample off to the lab and were really understanding and said with my history I should always get checked out, so that was reassuring. It was nice that they didnt make md feel like a fuss pot. They had a dr check me too, who checked my cervix using a speculum and a torch!! She said she could see my cervix was closed and the stitch in place, all looked fine and the stitch wasn't pulling.
So all in all they couldn't find any cause for concern. The midwife commented that I'm petite but carry a good size bump, so maybe putting pressure on my pelvis?? She suggested a support belt, Twinkle I thought of you, perhaps something you could try to help? We stopped off at Mothercare and got one on the way back, it does feel nice and supportive on.

Twinkle, braxton hicks scare me too!! Hope tomorrow brings you some poo relief! All the remedies you've tried might take effect overnight!

Munro, glad you're feeling a bit better today

Day, gosh almost 30wks, well done! I can't imagine carrying twins, the weight must be mega. You must feel lots of movement with 2 of them in there.

Hope everyone else is doing ok xx
 
Guess what !!!!


My waters broken and I got my stitch removed about 4 hrs ago nothing much happening so far
 
Glad your ok CW, i bet your relieved to know the pressure isn't a cause for concern.
I have been to the hospital so many times with the pressure, i had to stop going as I was always there asking the same questions and I thought they might think I was crazy lol.
They never found a reason for my pressure and I started getting it at 18weeks. I'm only 5ft 3 and I'm a tiny frame so I thought thAt might be the problem aswel, which support belt did you buy? I might look into it and order one :) thankyou Im hoping I'll be relieved tomorrow, I hate constipation :(
 
Ooh wunderful, I bet your so excited :) good luck and let us know how you get on :)
 
good luck wunderful :)

i ache littleone has his feet in my ribs i think it hurts he needs to shift lol, nursery is all set up just need to sort clothes into drawers that should arrive tomorrow. just achey tonight but i've done a fair bit of bending today, kind of carrying on as normal rather than really resting much at the min resting when i feel i need to. Twinkle hope the constipation goes.
 
Congrats wunderful praying for a safe delivery !! Are you dilated any?
