Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[Antsmommy]

I agree, hoping since the new ob knows I'm leaving the other due to them not helping me like they should, they might work a little harder at getting me taken care of. I pray that I have a normal pregnancy this time around but I feel like I can't take any chances. Thank u for your quick replay.

Antsmommy discuss all this at your next appt . I think it will be hard to say if things would be different 7 years later. Ask questions about incompetent cervix, stitch and how often the Dr will be monitoring your cervix. I know there are a ton of questions, we will try.to help out

Thanks

Welcome to all the new ladies! You'll find this group so informative and reassuring. Everyone is lovely here.
It seems that caring for IC varies so much from country to country and doctor to doctor. It's a shame we have to fight sometimes to get the treatment needed to hold our little ones in. I don't understand why they don't place a stitch at the first sniff of IC symptoms.
Following my elective stitch at 14wks I was advised to carry on as usual, the same advice as Twinkle was given. I do pretty much carry on with life although I do restrict the amount I'm stood up/walking for. I don't do any heavy lifting or much housework either and get as much rest as I can. However, I do seem to feel better for moving about a bit, I have far less aches and pains, but listen to my body, when its shouting sit down I do just that!
Twinkle, your ticker seems to be racing along, 25wks already! Each week is another increase in the statistics, keep that little man cooking.
Pink, hope little Ashton is continuing to do well in NICU, sending you both lots of hugs x

sorry this was another duplicate message.. my phone always seems to post two messages for some reason... sorry ladies, im always blocking up the thread

Does anyone with a stitch still lift etc. I had to lift my big two year old a few times this morn and now my cervix are hurting. Freaking out again

 

[Twinkle 3]

Ladies I'm all crampy in my back and stomach and bum scared its the start of something. Feels like iv got trapped wind but I havnt, It was painful when I had a wee so I know baby's really low keep getting low kicks aswel in my lady bits again hoping this little boy stays put

 

[ShelbyLC]

Twinkle - any way you can lay down with your lower half raised for a bit to see if you can get bubs to move some? Or try getting on your hands and knees for a little while, that usually gets baby to change positions. Also, if you're allowed to have a bath with the stitch, take a bath. The warm water will help ease the pain and help baby move. Doctors suggest going for a swim when you want baby to change positions.

Jadey - take it easy. Lie in bed today as much as you can and try not to lift things that are too heavy.

Hey guys I'm back to work so I've been busy:/ good news though! Missy is 9 pounds and eats oatmeal and prune juice for dinner! Lol time flies!

 

[Twinkle 3]

Thankyou shelby I'll try what you suggested as im still all and uncomfortable at the minute. Hoping it passes

Prayerful happy to hear missy is doing great

 

[jadey_fae]

Has it got worse or stayed the same twinkle?

 

[karenh24]

hey everyone i've had bad backache today am keeping up with my water intake but little mans been kicking low today n it makes me paranoid my cervix feels like it has been kicked about so are little twinges normal?i've probably asked this before and may repeat myself a hundred times ova before i get to 24 weeks

 

[jadey_fae]

I get those kicks and twinges too. I think it's ok. I wish our babies would all behave and move up!

 

[Twinkle 3]

its stayed the same jadey not got any worse but not got any better either so thinking maybe growing cramps or maybe babys position

 

[Craigswife]

Twinkle, you poor thing, i wonder whether your baby has changed position and thats why you're uncomfortable? I had a really uncomfortable day on Wednesday, my bump felt extra heavy, my back killed and I generally felt achy with pressure. I worried all day about it but woke up yesterday and it had gone??
Hopefully with some rest it might ease up. X

 

[Tink_0123]

Prayer, sounds like Missy is doing amazing, so happy for you!

Twinkle, I hope you're discomfort has eased, but do try getting on your hands and knees like Shelby said, it takes the pressure off the cervix and encourages baby to change positions. Could be growing pains as well.

Jadey, try not to do any lifting, esp. since your stitch is still kinda fresh in there.

Lizzie, sorry I'm late, but Happy 3rd Birthday to the twins!!

Pink, hows Ashton doing?

Sweet, hows Zac doing?

Wunderful, we havent heard from you in a while, hopefully your baby boy is home with you already.
CW & Twinkle, your tickers are moving along quite rapidly, esp after passing 24 weeks. 28 weeks here you come!!

TLM, 34 weeks and counting, thats soooo great. When's your stitch removal??

New ladies, Welcome to the thread!!

Hope you're all doing well.

I get this too and sometimes it feels like its kicked some nerves down there which make me gasp a bit. I had it last time too. I think it's common as I am on another board for sept babies and there has been a few posts about it.

Twinkle - I hope things ease for you soon. Your lo really likes to challenge you

[jessiemum]

Welcome Sunny love you will fiind alsorts of help and support here...............ther is always someone who will know or have an idea......

Jessies Mum

think he care plan varies so much in UK - But I am on my 4th stitch- all successful- and i got more appointments on my first but now can pick and choose to see my midwife/consultant when i need. I was massively paranoid during my first preganacy as I too had a loss with my first pregnancy so I saw them more and my MW was always ready for a quick listen in if I was wobbly. I have one extra scan at 28 weeks . Thats usually just to check before i have the sticth out.
Don't be afraid to ask for support pregnancy after a loss can be Hell.........

Thanks Shany it sure is a silent hell. I worry all the time bit have to stay positive otherwise I w2il drive myself crazy. I saw my mw yesterday at 16 weeks and# she said she see me again- at 28 weeks which is so far away. She is aware of what happened in my last pregnancy but doesn't seemed concerned!
