Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[geordiemammy]

Karen have you been referred to physio for exercises and a support belt if not ask to be referred ASAP x

 

[faibel]

Sunny - very sorry to hear your news, I hope your little one can stay put for a few more weeks at least, don't give up hope. I will be thinking and praying for you both x

 

[faibel]

My scan went well, all ok and healthy. They think both babies are girls, so it seems my oh is destined to be surrounded by women!!!

I'm sleeping better and hips not as sore, fingers crossed it continues. Twin 1 has turned head down as I thought, hopefully she won't drop too low yet!

How is everyone today? Hope all is calm and quiet for everyone x

There is no plan but wait. They don't want to restitch because of possible infection. I havent lost fluids and I'm not having any significant contractions. Jadey, my cerclage failing didn't really feel like anything. I had a tiny bit of spotting a couple days ago but that was probably from dilating. Viability is determined when we say it is, whether at 23 or 24. Unfortunately bed rest has not worked for me at all so I'm not a believer.

Being in the hospital is horrible. My legs and hips are killing and nurses wake me up all through the night. I badly want to go home esp since it's not like they are doing anything different here.

Sunny sorry you are going through this i did the bedrest thing and my stitch also failed, i was also in the hospital and they did restitch me @ 24 weeks and it held for another 10 days then i had my son @ 25+3, this was back in 2010. I got pregnant in 2012 and had a (trans abdominal cerclagw) TAC stitch put in and i was able to carry to term i had my baby girl by csection at 38+5, hope your little one stays baking a few more weeks ((hugs))

The pain is horrendous and the longer its left the worse it gets I don't know if this is all over the NHS but around here you can refer yourself its normally
Quicker so look into that!! I know how you feel I had it with ds3&4 and with this baby when I booked in with this one I demanded a referral as I knew it would be bad I can hardly leave the house now its that bad so push until they refer or look into self referral x

Thanks shelby getting nervous doc was talking csection because he is not comfortable with vaginal twin birth and my doc is out of town

 

[jessiemum]

How exciting Day, do keep us posted h & let us know how you get on. Remember you have the right to decided how you give birth so don't let the Dr bully you into something you don't. want to do. Will be thinking o$ you x x c

 

[DAYDAY24]

Thanks jesse he was just scaring me with telling one could flip and I would still need csection

 

[ShelbyLC]

That's right, Day, you do have a choice. When will your doctor be back in town? My girls were born on a holiday weekend so my doctor was out as well. C-sections really aren't as scary as they seem, but if you really want a vaginal birth, talk with the doctor, and the nurses, and the nurse assistants - everyone. Make sure they know what you want.

 

[DAYDAY24]

She not on call till tues. The office I go to has like 8 docs and they all have their own views it'd kinda fustrating my husband thinks I should just pick csection so I won't risk both.

 

[TLM21]

OMG day super excited! Keep us posted, and like the ladies said do what you think is right, discuss with the Dr what your preferences are or if you have a birth plan.
For me, I just been having pelvic pain, now lower back pain, and have been losing bits of mucous plug, so we'll see.
day thinking about you and.the.boys.
sunny still in my prayers hun.
Hugs everyone

Choco have you experienced any pressure or constant Braxton hicks? Ithink I'm losing bits of plug aswel.. Just wondering how good the stitch holds that's all? If I didn't have the stitch I know 110% I would have gave birth by now or would be doing it soon but with the stitch I don't know if I will plod along like this until the end... 33weeks is amazing, can't believe you only have 3weeks until stitch removal

No, no pressure and only ooccassional BH s. She moves a lot and has been head down for weeks, but I feel her mostly in my side and bladder. I have faith in my stitch. It held at 23/24 weelse when I was having pqinful frequent contractions. My cervix has stayed long. It's now down to my uterus to keep growing with the baby. I do what I like now in terms of activity. My body is ache y and stiff but OK once I get going. I did more after 30 weeks. Hope you can start to relax.

 

[chocolatecat]

Thinking about you sunny. Please ask about tocolytics. They aren't commonly used in the UK so yiu may have to push for them, they use them normally to stop labour long enough to get steroid on board. But I would have had them for ptl. I Hope you find a doctor who thinks they'll help give you a few more days.

Day and tlm - good luck! Sounds like it will be soon for you both!

Thanks choco u are next up
