Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[jadey_fae]

Congrats Sunny! What a great weight! He sounds like he is doing well and it's great that he can breathe on his own. I can't believe u tore through your stitch!!! Guess that's what the clot was. Good job u were in hosp! Post a pic hen u get a chance. Massive congrats Did u ever think u would get to 26 weeks?!

 

[faibel]

Sunny - congrats! Pleased to hear all went well and your little man is doing really well. Wishing you a quick and smooth journey through nicu! Fab weight too x

 

[jadey_fae]

Twinkle, glad u are doing well. How do u feel about leaving the stitch in longer? I know u said u wanted it out at 35 weeks.
Don't worry about your baby being small. I am measuring 2 weeks behind but was quite small to begin with. I am 5'3 and was 8 1/2 stone to begin with. Amelie was born at 38+4 and only weighed 5lb.
It's always the first thing my doc asks me. Have u waters gone? It is more likely with a stitch. I am glad of that. It's a Bit of a warning LOL.

Jadey I'm a bit gutted having it out a week later than expected as I was on countdown for 4weeks and now it's just made it longer never mind though hopefully time will go quick and not drag.

I'm happy to hear that measuring small is normal for us petite ladies, I'm only 5ft 3 aswel and at min 7st 8. So I couldnt see him being huge to be honest.

Ye it's niceto know waters will go first, I have never had my waters pop befor labour so will be a new experience for me and kind of nice to find out what it feels like in a strange way lol I just want to be like all the movies where the women shouts "oh no my waters have just broke" lol

My consultant also said that if the baby is born now he will be fine and he's no longer concerned, which makes me feel content, even though he could do with staying in and growing for as long as possible.

How are you Jadey?

Duplicate post again, I don't know why it always posts my comments twice

Hi, does anyone know how serious slap cheek or scarlet fever are in pregnancy? Both are going around my daughters school at the min and I don't think we have had either. I may have done as a child, although my mam doesn't think so! Is this something to worry about? I'm at hosp on tues again, so will ask but google makes me worry!!!

 

[ShelbyLC]

Congratulations, Sunny!

Slap cheek is a major worry if your under 20 weeks pregnant I had it with ds4 but most people have had it and not even noticed ask your doc to do the blood test to see if your immune it will tell you if you have had a recent infection or an old one xx

 

[jadey_fae]

Fabiel, there is a lady in the 3rd tri forum who's son has slap cheek . Last I read her docs were not that concerned but google had scared her. Like Gm just said it's a worry in the first tri

 

[jadey_fae]

Twinkle, I always wanted my waters to go first too. Like in the films you are 7st 7lb now? Your tiny Ive already put on 16lb!

 

[TLM21]

Hi ladies
So pleased to see the tickers moving.
Congratulations sunny its a good weight, hang in there with nicu, you did an awesome job
Twinkle love seeing you past the 32 week mark, another week is better for the baby, they did the frame to me, but it does go by fast.
Jadey congrats on 28 weeks, you are almost in the thirties! Great job!
I hope everyone is doing well.
Diego is 11 days, breastfeeding has been a little bit of a challenge, but we are still doing it.
My waters never broke on their own, Dr did it when I was in labor.
I'm trying to figure out how to post pics... Any ideas woo be appreciated
Xx

 

[jessiemum]

Suuny congratulations what amazing news & a great weight. Looking forward to seeing a picture btw what did you name him? I hope you heal quickly & your little ones stay in nicu is not too long x x x

 

[chocolatecat]

Congrats Sunny. Sounds like he's doing great. Hope you're recovering well too. Does he have a name yet?

 

[Craigswife]

Just popping by while sat expressing!
Sunny, hope all is well with your little one. He was a good weight, that'll really help him.

Twinkle, when my waters broke it was unmistakable! A real flood! You're at a fab gestation, shame they've added another week on till stitch removal, hopefully it'll fly. At least you're at a point where you can relax and not worry about him arriving early. I'm really pleased for you getting so far

Jadey, you're over 28wks, that's fab. You must be starting to relax now too

As for me andy beautiful girl, she continues to do well. She's in the 'grow row' now, as its nicknamed! She's literally just establishing her feeds, I'm breastfeeding her, so trying to be there for as many feeds as I can, but it's hard as I try and give my son some time too. The nurses have started to talk about preparing for home, really exciting, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much!
Expressing is draining, trying to do it as frequently as I can, the staff in the hosp pile the pressure on, but sometimes they don't understand real life! But I'm doing ok, getting enough off to keep her going. She's had an odd formula top up during the night when they run out of breast milk, once I got over my mummy guilt!

I often read how your all doing and will update when I can. Xxxx

 

[faibel]

V Day!!!!! yay!!!! It's feels like its been a long time coming but we've made it! I think they know, as have been having a party all night to celebrate! (not much sleep for me!) x

 

[jadey_fae]

Craigswife, sounds like she is doing really well Expressing is so draining and does take up a lot of time. It must be a balancing act with your son as well. I remember pumping with a manual pump took about an hour each side! Then u have to sterilise everything etc. Do u use the electric ones at the hosp that do both sides at the same time?

Congrats Fabiel! That's great news

TLM21, how are u both doing? Breastfeeding is hard!

Sunny, can't wait for an update! Hope he is still doing well Does he have a name?

Twinkle, I bet u are getting so excited now!

I've got the nesting bug. Seriously, it's bad. Frustrated that I can't afford to buy the things I really want all at once lol. So instead Ive cleaned and sorted out the cupboard under the stairs and the one under the sink! Weird!

 

[Tink_0123]

Congrats Sunny! Glad everything went well. Great weight on the baby

Faibel, Congrats on reaching Vday!

Jadey, ur doing great, ull see how quickly time will start passing with each passing week.

Twinkle, almost there, ur ticker is moving quite quickly now hehe

CW, glad you abd Annabelle are doing good.

TLM, glad u and Diego are doing good too

Chocolate cat, you've done super great, almost there too!

Lizzie, how have you been??

I hope everyone continues to do well. Hoping to see some pictures of the new arrivals soon. Just want you all to know you ladies are always in my thoughts and I wouldn't have made all the way to the end without your guidance and advice and positive comments.. Take care

 

[faibel]

Panic .. sharp stabbing pain (i think ) its the stitch. No increase in discharge/bleeding. Is this common or do I need to b seen? Its not constant but quite sharp when its there! Don't want a manual exam but if needed its needed. Help pls

 

[katyb1982]

Faibel- If I were you I'd give MAU a ring just to be safe. I have been in panicing several times this pregnancy and they have allways been understanding!

 

[geordiemammy]

Get checked better safe than sorry sure all is fine though x
