Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[jadey_fae]

those shooting pains are nasty. Are u getting them constantly?

 

[jadey_fae]

Are u looking forward to your scan? I can't wait to see if my boy has been growing properly. Always a worry as Amelie didn't.
I am going to ask for stitch removal to be a 36 rather than 37 weeks - if I make it that far. I am so scared of tearing

Ye the pains are just constant, I was scared of my cervix starting to dilate. Ye I can't wait for the scan, even though I know he will be head down and they won't be able to estimate his weight. I think when your going through a pregnancy with incompetent cervix you worry about everything, with my little girl I never use to worry about anything at all but this time I am a nervous wreck.

Ye I think 36weeks seems more reasonable to have the stitch out so you won't start labour with it in place still. I want mine out at 35weeks but I doubt my consultant will agree

 

[jadey_fae]

when does your doc want to take it out?

 

[Twinkle 3]

He wants to take it out at 36weeks to stop the risk of it tearing but if I go to hospital sooner and there's any indication of preterm delivery it will be taken out. I see him at 32 weeks so I'm going to ask what the soonest I can have it out at x

[ShelbyLC]

Oh, that's amazing! Well done, Trent! Are they putting him on CPAP for a while or see if he can hold his own? I bet he'll be home with you in a week or less

 

[DAYDAY24]

Nurse Said nasal cannula or cpap I'm going to call in morning before my staple removal appt

 

[faibel]

Day - really pleased to hear Trent is doing well, he will be home with you before you know it x

Day im happy to hear that your little boy is getting better.

How is everyone doing ? The thread seems very quiet lately!

Hoping everyone is ok and the silence is because theres nothing to report lol.

Cw pop in when you can it will be nice to hear how your little girls doing
Im sure shes doing fantastically though

as for me i have been feeling rather crampy with increased braxton hicks, think its because i have upped my activity quite alot lately... been trying to get the house lovely and clean before my little boys geta here. still seems so unreal that i will have a baby soon. its going to be a huge relief when hea here and i really cant wait.... im always on the look out for signs of things happening but i think i am on the verge of being paranoid lol. i think cw has proved how unpredictable labour can be

Trent is breathing on his own in a crib now!!

Yay!! Have the doctors given any estimates on when he can come home?

 

[DAYDAY24]

No nurse said he has to finish antibiotics which he has two more days of.and drink from bottle good. She yold me to bring his car seat so they can check it.

I hate when the doctor tells me he thinks I could "go at any minute." I mean, yes my cervix is incompetent. Yes, I am 1cm dilated and 100% effaced. But I've stayed that way for almost 4 weeks now. Am monitored for contractions and am having none. Have had no bleeding or leaking, and I'm 25 weeks, it's not like I'm 18 weeks or something. I personally think I can make it pretty far so I think he should stop being so concerned.

I'm still on hospital bed rest. Nothing has happened at all since I've been here (2 weeks now), I'm perfectly stable other than being effaced and dilated. I am having horrid constipation pains that last nonstop up to 45 mins (like it brings tears to my eyes!) but other than that I'm good.

 

[ShelbyLC]

sunny, they told me I could go at any minute when I was 4cm and 100% effaced and I lasted another 2 weeks while having tons of contractions.

Hi ladies, hope you're all good. I've been meaning to pop on and update for a couple of days.
Baby Annabelle is doing amazingly well! She has come off cpap and is breathing on her own now. Her blood gases have been great so they probably won't continue to do them any longer. She's having my expressed breast milk, which is going down a treat! They increased the volume last night as she kept shouting out with hunger! Yesterday they moved her out of intensive care and into high dependancy where she just hangs out in her little incubator! She came out for cuddles yesterday which was amazing and she seemed so settled snuggled into me. Today my hubbie gets the snuggles with her. We're so proud of her and im still in shock we have a daughter!

As for me, I was discharged from hospital on Sunday and recovering well from my c section, a bit battered and bruised, but thats to be expected. My milk has come in so expressing it off for Annabelle. My boobs are huge and rock hard so feels like there's a whole lot of milk in there although its quite hard to express it all off, but I must be patient!

JAdey, you were asking about my labour. Basically last Thursday I felt generally unwell, I couldn't put my finger on it but felt like I had a tummy bug coming. I was completely off my food, sick twice and had 3 poos in one day! I just went to bed to sleep it off. I was having Braxton hicks, as always not painful, just there and killer backache like I hadn't experienced before. I woke at 4am feeling trickling down my leg and when I felt there was water and is was definately water not discharge, different texture and smell. We went to delivery and they confirmed it was my waters, I was hooked up to a monitor which showed I was contracting and to be honest by this point was having contractions. So Annabelle was on get way, 4 hours after my waters breaking she came into the world.

I will pop on when I can, its fab to see you're all doing well. Hang on in there everyone xx
