Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[MomC]

My stitch removal happened in the dr office at a regular appt and I was sent to the hospital I dilated from 1 to a 5 as soon as stitch came. My dr didn't give anything for pain and i just felt crampy during

Hey ladies,

Its kinda quiet in here, hope everyone is doing well.

Just wanted to send you ladies some love!

Hey ladies, I'm still lurking here in the shadows, hope its quiet because all is well and nothing to report.
Alls good with me and my little lady, she's 4 weeks now, where did that go! Xxx

 

[faibel]

All quiet at the min, thankfully! I've reached the stage I had my eldest at, can't believe it! I honestly didn't think I'd make it at some points. Moving towards 28 wks, will feel relieved when I get to that point.

Jadey - all ok? Did you go get seen about the pains you were having? x

Hope everyone else is still ok and cooking x

Had dr appt yesterday and and an US. He was measured to be 6.6 lbs and 52nd precentile so and right on with due date. Fluid is at 9.5cm so still perfect. I found out what body part has been poking me. In my ribs right under my right boob is his booty and on my left side under my ribs is his foot. She said he could still stretch out his legs pretty good too so he still has a good bit of room. He is still of course head down.

When I saw the dr he checked me and did the strep b test. He said baby is not engaged yet. I go back next Mon to get my stitch out. I asked him about thinning he said I had been doing that since before the stitch b/c that was reason for stitch so thinning means your cervix shortening did not realize that till then

25+3 here a week past when my boys were born. Still keeping every thing crossed. Aiming for 26 then 28,30 etc . Still a bit achey but have hardley had any BH or tightening since starting cyclogest. Might be coincidence but I hope it means it is doing something.

Katy - well done hun, the weeks will pass slightly quicker now! I think the cycogest does keep things calm, I think its great stuff, I reached 39 weeks on it with my second daughter. Heres to 30 weeks and beyond x

Faibel- I was at twins clinic last week and asked how common stitches were with twins and was told "We've got one other lady at the moment" so I presume that's you! Not tat I can actually think that far ahead but are you at the twins course in 2 weeks time?

I haven't booked yet, ooops! I'm in for growth scan next week, so will book it then, so might be! They mentioned you when I was there last too, we will be legends at the RVI if we make a good gestation or even term!!!! Think only one other lady has had an emergency stitch with twins and made 29 wks, so we need to go further than that! All I think is that if we can do it, then they may be more keen to stitch twin ladies in the future x

 

[katyb1982]

I'm at twins clinic next week too. Hopefully!

 

[faibel]

I've got a late appt, 3pm, might see you there??x

Thankyou to the ladies who replied about stitch removal. 11days until mines removed yey. hoping to have a baby in my arms not long after that. my midwife checked me yesterday and after being 2-3/5 engaged a few weeks ago, the baby has moved even further head down now. hes fully engaged and basically just waiting to escape lol.

Hope everyone is doing ok. this thread deffinetly has been very quiet lately

 

[Craigswife]

Wow twinkle you're 35wks, that's amazing! I bet you can't believe it. That sounds really promising that baby is fully engaged, they'll snip your stitch and he'll fly out, lol! Are you all ready for him now?
My little lady is doing well, she's got reflux, which my son had, really common in prem babies. The washing machine is doing overtime now! She's as cute as a button and it was worth all the worry, tears and stress.
I try and read through every day, although dont always have time to post, I'm always on the lookout for you and any news!
Have you decided on your birth, I know for a while you wondered about a c-section. How's your little girl feel about the prospects of having a brother? I was so surprised at my son, he used to get jealous if I held a friends baby, but he's been great and really protective of her, helping bath her etc... I'm sure there'll be hiccups, but so far so good. It's lovely to think my family is complete, it's been a long old journey to get both of them and I'll be ever grateful they are both healthy.

I haven't seen anything from Jadey, hope all is ok with her

Welcome to all the new ladies
Xx

You never can tell, either in and out or there for hours! I'll keep an eye out, I'm huge and struggling to walk at min, serious waddle! If not I'm sure we'll catch up at twin parent sessions x

Twinkle - Can't believe how quick your ticker is moving now...your little man will be here in no time!x

Hello ladies. Hope everyone is well.
I'm thrilled to say baby Indiana Michelle arrived on the 2nd July weighing 7lb 3oz. She is perfect in every way!
I had a planned section done by my very trusted and loved consultant. I had a bit of discomfort during due to my bowel being full of gas and dropping in the way, otherwise it couldn't have gone better, her first cries, first skin to skin and first feed were perfect. She is an absolute star! My Nipples are sore but she's a super feeder and sleeper, so not complaining.
I was mobile in 6 hours and don't really have any pain from the procedure, so for anyone who normally feels they heal well I'd totally recommend a section if you're on the fence x
Ps she'll be called Indy mostly, and Michelle is after my dad who died in January

 

[faibel]

Fab news Chocolate, sounds like you've had a lovely experience and Indy is doing so well. Love the name by the way! Congrats x

 

[Craigswife]

Congratulations chocolate. She sounds perfect, enjoy every second. Xx
