Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[lizziedripping]

Hi Sunny, sorry you're still struggling hun. Those crampy tightenings are really frightening sweet so totally sympathise. I had them with the twins particularly before and after stitch and up to 27wks. I'm sure I must have had them after that too, but wasn't as scared by them. They can be normal and indicative of a stitch related irritable uterus, but. Just keep an eye on them as you are doing. If they grow more intense or frequent then get checked xxx

Faibel, the vaginal/rectal route for the suppositories is thought to be more effective because they're being delivered 'on site'. It's very ressuring that you're on them, they've had very good results xxx

I will be out of the country from Weds til Thurs 23rd ladies, so won't really get a chance to look in frequently. Will be thinking of you all my lovelies and praying for many more weeks of baking for our first/second trimies, and safe deliveries for those of you past 34wks - if it should happen whilst I'm away (Day, got everything crossed for you sweet, you're gonna be fine and I've a funny feeling you'll still be baking when I get back lol).

Will try to look in from time to time and please message me if there's anything you need

CW my daughter loves crafts, for her birthday I got her a big box of crafts so we are forever glueing and making things she's not really into mud or digging, when she's in the garden she likes to water the flowers and make daisy chains, she isnt very adventurous either,So very girly lol. I can't wait to have a boy to see how different girls and boys are, it will be nice to experience a typical boy who likes mud and digging
I have also found that I wake up more achey, it's the rest that hurts me more, my hips kill when I wake up.

Tlm I hope I go further... When are you having your stitch removed ?

Sunnylove I have always had cramps and heavy feeling in my stomach. Hope your ok today.

Jadey I hope I make it to atleast 30weeks, I carried my daughter to 29weeks but only managed to carry my little boy to 22weeks so I know my cervix became really weak. I'd love for someone to just go into the future and tell me how far I will get this time so I can stop wondering and worrying. Im getting really agitated because I'm always sat thinking about how far I'm going to go, I'm forever counting down the days, looking at survival rates and I'm driving myself insane lol. Im also now worried about the birth, just trying to concentrate on enjoyin my pregnancy now and see what happens

Hope everyone else is doing well

Thats so funny Twinkle cos in my house it's my girl who loves digging in the mud and the boys who positively hate it lol (apart from maybe Zach who is much more like his sister and Grandpa ) Until him I didn't know what it was like to have a 'boisterous boy' xx

 

[Twinkle 3]

Lizzie I just and the idea of boys are slugs and snails and puppy dogs tails lol I think That theories wrong now after what you said I suppose every child has their own personality, it will be nice to see what this little boy is like.. I'm hoping he won't follow my little girl with being scared of things like climbing up the slide or going on the swing lol

Hello.everyone
Twinkle the Dr said he will remove the stitch at 37 weeks, I have my weekly.appointment in a few hour so will see what he says. Looking forward to it, but also getting anxious about it, it never ends, lol.
Oh and I promise that once 28 weeks pass, time will move quicker, you'll see

 

[TLM21]

Agi how are you? How.is the baby?

Ok so I'm due to have the measurements don't on my cervix tomorrow the first ones I'm 15 + 4 and I've started bleeding could that be a sign cervix is opening x

 

[lizziedripping]

Hi gm - not necessarily a sign your cervix is opening hun. Bleeding happens for lots of reasons so try not to worry Have you had any other symptoms like increased pressure down below etc? Good luck for tomorrow xx

 

[DAYDAY24]

Lol thanks lizzie have doc appt later so hopefully will discuss labor and birth control lol

 

[faibel]

Hi Geodie,

I had bleeding with my second dd at 15 wks and it was nothing to worry about. To put your mind at rest maybe call the assessment unit and they will take a look. If it is something, better to be seen sooner rather than later. When I did have probs with my dd that I lost, I had spotting but other symptoms too, also I just knew something wasn't right, trust your instincts! Hope all ok x

 

[geordiemammy]

I'm there now waiting getting a few campy pains they think my waters may have gone I'm so sick this was my last try x

 

[DAYDAY24]

Sorry I haven't updated in forever ladies! Hope y'all ain't forgot me lol well I did NOT get a Dr Davis TAC but I DID get my pre-pregnancy TAC by a mfm here in Oklahoma. I'm happy, excited, nervous, scared & everything else in those catagories lol! I got my TAC last Monday April 22nd. Recovery was a little rough but well worth it. Today will be 11 days post op & I'm still a bit sore but getting around tons better. Going for follow up appt on Tuesday May 7th. Dr wants us to wait Til January before getting pregnant again so I figure ill quit birth control about October/November. I'm not to worried about waiting Til then cause I desperately want to lose a bunch of weight before getting preg again..I'm miserable! Lol I hope things are going great for all of y'all!

I've been thinking about you! I'm so glad you were able to get your TAC, that's so great. Have you changed doctors or did the MFM just do the cerclage because of having more experience?

Yes I found a MFM w/ more TAC surgery experience than my ob. I will still see both MFM & same OB during future pregnancies tho.

 

[AmyLouise89]

GM, thinking of you! Do you have a TVC? Hoping everything is fine & dr's are wrong about waters being gone. Don't lose hope & don't give up.

Well after waiting ages the scanned me waters are intact baby looks good although placenta is a bit low and he isn't sure whether that's caused the bleed so back in 3 weeks for further scan no stitch needed at the mo cervix measured 37.7mm so he was pleased with that but again will check again in 3 weeks I'm pleased the cervix is long enough at the mo cause with the bleeding they would be unsure whether the stitch was the best option xxx
