Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[Tuga]

Hahahhahhahahah @ pulling a walrus Laney😂😂😂😂 my son just came to the room to ask why am I laughing so much.
I am currently watching the Jeremy Kyle show on ITV2. Human stupidity never fails to amaze me. I don't really believe this show is for real. Can't believe people can be that stupid and go on national tv to air their dirty laundry while having the show host shouting at them hahgahahaha

 

[Twinkle 3]

Hi tuga and laney thankyou for your replies you have made me feel so much better!! Yes im so excited for my stitch, i might be able to relax abit more. i really cant wait until its in again as i know the baby will be safe and secure then! And yes i suffered so bad with spd. Its horrible isnt it, i feel for you. I got to the stage where i couldnt even turn over in bes and slept with tons of pillows to get comfy x

 

[Laney26]

Haha they have loads of Geordies on there I promise we aren't all like that lol 😛. My friend works at a school and a few of the parents have been on his show. 😁

 

[Laney26]

Twinkle I do wonder if the pressure/ pain I felt early on was linked to SPD. It's something I suspected. If it makes u feel better all that aching very early on was when my cervix still measured 5cm so hopefully it's nothing too scary xxx I found my cervix bled this time round a few times I believe it's die to the amount of scar tissue xxx

 

[Twinkle 3]

I was thinking the same laney that it could be linked to spd as Iv been feeling bruised in my groin like the spd has returned early. It's funny you should mention the bleeding aswel. This time around Iv had a few moments where Iv spotted Which is strange as I didn't experience this last time and Thankyou its made me feel a lot better to know your cervix was still nice and long even though you felt pressure. I'm paranoid already and I told myself this time I wouldn't be paranoid lol xx

Twinkle, I just wanted to add: I had funky vaginal/cervix pressure late first tri, especially when in the bathroom attempting you know what. I believe in my case it was related to my retroverted uterus, as soon later it moved up and that feeling stopped. I also had spotting in first tri, supposedly due to an inflamed cervix as they couldn't find anything else - now makes me wonder if that was also made worse by the retroverted uterus combined with constipation. As I haven't had spotting since 13 weeks...
I have some spd this pregnancy (none in my first 2) - but nothing unbearable yet thankfully!
Tuga, I can imagine that you and the kids miss Portugal!! I also miss going home to Europe with the kids - we'd do that every summer (plus sometimes in the winter) since we had kids. The saddest bit is actually that the kids miss out on so much due to this pregnancy Not just vacations, but little day trips etc.

Good evening!

It sounds like everyone's hanging in there! Septie I bet your glad your pushing through the 30 week marks! Laney I am glad your appoinment went well! Your getting close, that's exciting! I hope Christina is doing good. Hello twinkle I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

All these vacation posts makes me miss the beach! I normally go on vacation in July and will miss out this year as well though I only have hubby who's missing out so not as bad. The TV is getting very old along with the bed rest. Mostly watch river monsters right now or sleeping.

I did have another scan no change with cervix which is good. Though baby seems like he's trying to punch it open here and there. He's still laying on it. Unfortunately I have other complications arising so I am still nervous and keep a week to week keep them cooking goal.

 

[Laney26]

Hi koi fish I'm so sorry you are having added complications thats the last thing you need. I know what you mean about getting sick of the TV I at the point where I can just let the news play all day as I just can't be bothered with it and I don't have the attention span to read anymore either. I had a long day out with appointments yesterday it was a bit of walking but mainly sitting in the car and waiting room but I do think it put some pressure on the stitch it felt irritated last night. I have another appt today with a longish drive which isn't ideal but nothing I can do. Have been awake 5.30 every morning for the past week. Joy oh joy lol xxx

Ladies you ve been busy busy busy!!!!

Nope, no news to share here! Sorry I ve been MIA but these last few days have been a little rough and very worrying. The doc has been a complete a**hole and every time he sees me (every 2-3 days for NST) he keeps saying we ll have an emergency section. This has really brought me down and is really worrying me sick. Couple that with the fact maya has been extremely quiet for the last 2-3 days (veeeeeerrrryyyy very quiet) and you get the picture. I m trying to do everything I can go get this cervix to shorten and dilate but nothing seems to be doing the trick. I got hubby back into business, bought a bouncy ball to bounce myself stupid and walk fast past 4-5 Km....the result is a really really sore pubic bone and maya climbing even higher up in my belly anyway sorry for the rant.

Laney I m so so happy your growth scan went really good! And I can't believe you ditch that stitch in a week! That's awesome! Btw cherish your boy digging on that cervix, maybe it will end up cooperating better than mine! And yikes about all that cleaning...I still haven't started on car seat cleaning but we got a new pram cause our old one was so dirty from the place we stored it I seriously couldn't face cleaning it!

Tuga, hope your results tomorrow are the best results ever and you can keep your little monkey cooking for a good few weeks more! I m like you...we gave all our daughter's clothes away and now we have nothing! Funny thing is we had given our son's clothes to friends who just returned them so little maya will be wearing blue I guess! Did you say your section ruptured last time? What did they have to do? My doc says if it ruptures for me he ll have to remove my uterus?bwtf??

Septie, glad your cervix is holding just fine girl. keep resting!

Koifish, tell me about getting bored of tv..after those 5 months of bed rest with dd I think I literally went through every single stupid show there was! But it's great that your cervix hasn't changed so keep doing what you're doing. Sorry about the added complications, hope they can be a thing of the past soon.

Twinkle hey hey! I know the others have already answered this but yes, I had the bum pressure HOL! Good luck on your stitch placement, it's not long yo go so in the mean time just rest up. At thus gestation I doubt the baby gas enough weight yo cause your cervix to really dilate.

Hope you re all having a lovely day girls! Sorry if I ve mixed some of the posts up but I don't dare hit the back button cause usually I just end up losing everything!

Good morning my lovelies😘
Laney, how are you today? Don't worry hun, I am exactly the same. Been awake since 5 am every single day for weeks now. The joys eh? 😂😂
I haven't turn on the tv because hubby is still sleeping.
My baby keeps kicking me down below and it is so so painful plus this heartburn is killing me.
Hope everyone is ok. I am a bit worried about Christiana. Praying that all is well xx

 

[Tuga]

Hellloooooooo Christiana❤❤ was worried about you hun. Glad everything is ok😘
Thank you hun. I am a bit stressed about tomorrow but trying to be positive.
Yes hun my scar ruptured last time. Why would he say that?? My scar ruptured because they wanted me to try natural delivery and I think it was all too soon. My previous caesarean had been 2 years previous to that. I just remember blood everywhere and hubby and sister crying their eyes out. I ended up having another emergency c-section but they did not remove anything. Recovery was harder second time around...have you asked him why he would remove it? He needs to explain why. That's so strange...

 

[Twinkle 3]

Thankyou everyone for your advice hope your all ok! I remember the worry of the stitch all too well in my last pregnancy. I can remember been scared too move and my little boy used to kick really low in the stitch too. I say kick, it must have been more of a headbutt as he was head down from 18weeks and soblow in my pelvis that they could never measure his head on the scans.

Wishing you all lots of luck and you will all get there in the end with a healthy baby x

 

[chistiana]

Tuga you re so sweet for worrying about me! I don't know why he d say such a thing, I think he is trying to terrify me out of the vbac I want but saying he a going to have to remove my uterus sounds pretty aweful. It's been 3 years since my last section so I don't get why a vbac is such a big issue. Obviously if things are not progressing I m not suggesting he lets me take hours of labor but jumping from trying for a vbac to removing my uterus?????

 

[Laney26]

Hey Christiana oh man not surprised you are stressed. Sounds like he is doing everything he can to scare u into a section which just isn't fair on you especially when you are stressed with her movements as well. Bring back those crazy braxton hicks where are they when you bloody need/want them.
Tuga I bet today is really dragging with it being results day tomorrow it's awful having so much riding on one result.
Im the same on a morning I lie stock still between hubby and son (son sneaks in about 3am every morning lol) I daren't move or put telly on so just lie there bored lol
Twinkle I can remember reading your posts about how low your son was he was engaged super early wasn't he there's nothing more scary than that pressure sensation when u have IC you'll feel better once your stitched up xxx

 

[Tuga]

Hi girls😘 I am spending the whole day in bed. Been sleeping most of the time. I have so much pressure on my cervix and because I am going to see my consultant tomorrow, I don't want to give him an excuse to keep me there hahaha. So today is all about relaxing for me.
My infection is almost all gone, my urine is clear and I am drinking more water than I have drank in my life lol. So hopefully tomorrow I will get good news. I am doing my bit and fingers crossed the blood test results is clear. xx

 

[Koifish]

Laney I hope your appoinment goes we ll today and the irritation dies down, nothing worse then being stuck and then uncomfortable on top of it! Feel better!

Thanks Christina I am going to hold them in as long as I can! If i am going to have complications it's better it started up close to the 28 week mark instead of earlier, at least I know if I can hold out a few more weeks it's way better than if this stuff started earlier (trying to be positive). As for your little I hope she cooperates soon! Funny how you go from trying everything to keep them in and then you want to get them out! As for your doctor I can't believe he's trying to scare you with a section that's so terrible. Really an awful thing to say, i agree i would ask why he said that and would almost want a second opinion. He needs to respect your wishes and know that your not going to choose to do something that would harm baby. I hope it works out for you!

Twinkle lol gotta love how they cause problems one of mine is hard to get some measurements there like way down there trying to get an angle on him where they can measure! Such trouble makers!

Tuga I hope it all works out for you tomorrow and everything is clear! They say water is great for flushing out everything!

 

[Laney26]

Tuga GOOD LUCK tomorrow.

 

[Laney26]

Hi ladies hope everyone is doing ok xxx

 

[Tuga]

Hello my lovelies❤
Thank you all. I can relax now. My blood test result was better than last week's😍😍👍 cannot tell you how relieved I am!!!
Doctor has now book a growth scan for the 13 (yes, a saturday😱!) and another appointment with him for the 18th. If all is well, he said he will book the caesarean and stitch removal for the same day at 38 weeks❤ so I will do everything on the same day and that also includes sterilization. Me and hubby had already agreed on this and today he said ok. They had previously said no because of my age but now they have said yes. He said I will need to see someone to discuss it further but if that's what I want than they will do it. I would love to have a house full of children but I can't go through another pregnancy and suffer the way I've suffer throughout my pregnancies. I already feel blessed with the 3 I have.❤
Hope everyone is well. I would drink a glass of wine if I could to celebrate today's results hahahhahahah😘😘

Hey everyone! I just have a few questions maybe you could help me with.

I had my stitch put in about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I was starting to feel pretty much back to normal but then two days ago I started to get terrible back pain like I had after my spinal. I also have a lot of pressure around my lower abdomen and I'm having a hard time urinating. I know it could all just be symptoms of being pregnant. I'm only 14 weeks.

I had a urine test done to check for UTI this morning and it came back negative. The dr (not my OB, he lives 3 hours away) wants me to take antibiotics for 7 days just to be safe, but I am not really comfortable with taking them when my test was negative...

What are your opinions on all of this?
