Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[Tink_0123]

CW, Congrats on ur new baby girl. Wishing her a quick stay in the NICU and a quick recovery for u hun! She sounds like a strong little girl, shell be home in no time

 

[Craigswife]

Thanks twinkle, I couldn't believe it either as I had no signs or worries that labour was so close! I really felt so well. I'll let you know more as soon as I can. Hope you're doing ok xx

Cw its so strange that it all crept up on you, atleast you enjoyed your pregnancy after reaching a safe gestation that is and had a lovely birth i bet your on cloud 9 now so pleased you got your happy ending. even though your daughter was born early 31 weeks is so good. im good thankyou, still all achey with tightenings and loss of plug still but plodding along

 

[chocolatecat]

Woo hoo! 3 new babies!!! Congratulations day! I'm hoping your boys are doing well. Thinking about Trent and hoping for a fast recovery for him.
Congrats CW - I love how calm you were about it. An eventful, 24 hours indeed! Fabulous weight and hope shes doing well still.
Can't wait for pics of all the newborns!

All is well here. No preeclampsia and nothing new to report. Just enjoying my pregnancy now and getting excited for her arrival.
Spent a few days getting upset about needing to decide on a section or not. I was hoping for a clearcut answer, but I doubt ill get one. She's been bead down, same position for months, so theoretically I can deliver vaginally. But have decided for a section at 38 weeks. I can't bare the thought of worrying for her safety during labour and especially the last few weeks. Delivering Quinn wasn't too bad physically. But the emotional scars for me and Oh are strong. Also if i have a section I'm keeping my stitch in for another baby. It's done so well I'm hoping I'll trust it from day 1.
There's been so much back and forth about the decision but I want what's safest for her. And I feel that's a section. Still scared though!!!

Aches and pains are as before. Pain in my ribs and a bit of back ache. But I'm doing lots of activity. Shopping for hours, cleaning and tidying. It catches up with me by the end of the day, but I start each day fresh and well.
Not really had any BH or pelvic pain/pressure. Feeling lucky I guess. Just my bloody ribs as it stops me working!

Wow, congratulations CW and what a shock! Just goes to show how unpredictable pregnancy and labour can be. Your little girl sounds lovely and I'm sure will go from strength to strength

Day, how's your little man? Xx

 

[Twinkle 3]

Thankyou for the advice yesterday lizzie no there isnt any bleeding just bits of mucus plug, so I don't know if it's coming away as my stitch is pulling or wether it is just coming away from pressure.. I havnt a clue lol. I wish I knew what was going on with my body, half the time I think I'm in labour with the cramps and tightenings then everything just fizzles out. None of my family are going to believe me when I am actually in labour as I have had so many false alarms lol

 

[TLM21]

CW congratulations, that was quick, glad you and your girl are doing well, she is at a great weight and will stay at hospital for a brief time. You did a fabulous job. Can't wait to see her name and pictures, take care of yourself and please keep us posted when u can.
Day how are the boys?, how is Trent doing?
Twinkle welcome to the thirties hun, you are doing great!
Chocolate your ticker is moving so fast, nicely done
no news with me yet
Hope everyone is doing well
Xx

Hey ladies tyler and I got discharged this morning. Trent is doing better he was but on a vent thurs due to him trying to hard to breathe over the last 2 days the have turned it down twice so frying to ween him off of it. They took a chest xray today no signs of pneumonia as that is what they where thinking . Besides all that my mom making me upset I'm really sore from section so was going to wait till tomorrow to see trent again my mom making me feel like a bad parent even though I'm sore and have a newborn at home ugh just fustrated.

 

[ShelbyLC]

Day, don't let ANYONE make you feel bad. Trent has no sense of time right now so he isn't going to be upset if you don't see him for a day! He won't even realize it's been that long. There were days when I didn't see my girls in the NICU just because I didn't feel like going to the hospital. It's okay. You have enough on your plate as it is.

I'm so glad you and Tyler are home and doing well. I hope your pain gets better soon.

 

[DAYDAY24]

Thanks shelby its not even a whole day since I was with him in the morning before I left hospital

 

[sunnylove]

Did a sterile vag exam today because I have been getting horrible constipation pains and was worried it was contractions. Absolutely no contractions or irritable uterus, yay. Doc says stitch feels like it's still in place! And that I do still have some cervix left because bag is NOT buldging! He says it feels like I am about 1 cm dilated (at 23 weeks they thought I was 1.5 cm dilated based on cervical exam). Pretty happy! I think trendelenburg is working! Oh and baby's heart is perfect.

 

[DAYDAY24]

[faibel]

Sunny - Thats great news! I bet you'll be cooking that baby for a long time to come yet!

Day - You will be exhausted! That won't help Trent or Tyler, you need to gather yourself first and ignore insensitive comments! I'm sure Trent will be home with all soon x

 

[chocolatecat]

Day, I'm sorry you're mum is being so insensitive. As far as I know these early days of recovery are so important for getting you fit in a couple. Of weeks vs a couple of months. Tyler needs you more right now and they both will be better if you give yourself chance to recover quickly. Lots of love and hugs your way..

CW hope you're also getting chance to rest after the section. Have they said how long you'll stay in. Hugs to your little miss.

 

[jadey_fae]

Day, I am sorry you are dealing with insensitive family. Take the time u need and don't feel guilty.

Sunny, thats great news - look at you still baking away!

CW - hows your little one? Can't wait for an update!

Question. I am having horrid lower bk pain and increase in vaginal pressure. I have been feeling baby kick behind my lower pubic hair?! Should I call the hosp? but what would they actually do?

 

[jadey_fae]

I really want to get to 27 weeks!!!!! 3rd tri and all

Twinkle, how are u?

 

[Twinkle 3]

Jadey I get all what you describe, the kicks I get low down arnt kicks though it's baby head butting me if anything the hospital might tell you to go and be checked and have a look at your cervix to see if there is any change or they might just tell you to stay at home and see how you are in an hour but take paracetamol and see how you feel after.

I'm good thankyou just same old aches and pains. Getting a huge amount of shooting pains in my lady region now though, keeps making me jump out of my seat! My little boys been rather quiet this morning thoughnot moving much so I have been mrs paranoid and checked his heartrate on the Doppler which hopefully sounds ok (touching wood)
