Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

Hey Tuga that is AMAZING news I'm so happy for you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
 
We are in the same boat as much as I'd like to be a house full of kids as well, hubby is going for the snip after this one is born. It's just too much stress on our body mind and family.
Little bird it could be something it could be nothing. I would definitely take the antibiotics to be safe, they won't hurt your baby I've had 4 lots this pregnancy and if anything is hanging round it will nip it in the bud xxx
 
Congratulations Tuga that's great news!!! ☺I bet you feel a lot better now. Glad it worked out.

I wouldn't mind a big family but having limited space and with how crazy this first go has been. I think I'll take my by one get one free deal and I am perfectly happy with that. It really is a lot of stress and strain on us and family!
 
Tuga thats awesome news!!! I am sooo sooo happy for you! With that imaginary drink cheers to some stress free relaxing time from here on!
It's so funny we re all on the same road. We re by having a 4th one either. I d love another one but it's not fair on the kids or hubby with all the limitations and stress pgs have put on us already. I am more than grateful to have 2 and hopefully 3 health Los!

Littlebird, I agree with laney hun. It's probably nothing but I d take the antibiotics just in case. I took 4-5 lots with my previous pg and the doc didn't worry at all. The pressure can be completely normal but I d rather be safe than sorry.!
 
Hey ladies 😘 thank you.
How's everyone doing today?
I barely slept yesterday. Baby kept kicking down below and I had really bad heartburn on top of it.
Today I have been laying in bed trying to catch up on my sleep.
Hope everyone is well xx
 
Tuga, so happy for you!!! Fantastic news! I slept wonderfully tonight (asked hubby to take the kids in the morning to let me sleep in) - but had barely slept the night before...
We are also done. This little one, our third too, is almost a miracle: It turns out I have premature ovarian failure (the hormones were awfully low, they wouldn't even have agreed to IVF), maybe due to Hashimoto - though I am 40 already; and had two miscarriages last year. It's ok, however: With this pregnancy being so stressful almost from the start, plus the major morning sickness with vomiting to 18 weeks, I wouldn't want to risk all the worries yet again. And I have a feeling hubby would rather abstain than go through this again - it's hard on us, but hard on the OHs too. I am glad to be done with pregnancy, and just want to enjoy the little ones!!!
Amazingly enough, initially we wanted only one. Now we are at 3 - and our parents, who had 2, think we are crazy.
 
Hey Septie, thank you😘
I know exactly what you mean. I can't deal with the stress of another pregnancy as well. My hubby doesn't want to go through this again and I also think it would be unfair on our children. I always end up in hospital, need surgery and can't barely look after them and because hubby works long hours they have to stay with our family.
I am also thinking about my long term health. It's just not worth it to put myself in a risky situation again.
We always wanted 2 children and will now be blessed with 3. I am very thankful for that.
Plus, my mum would kill me if I decide to have anymore. Hahahhaha she's seen my suffering first hand and I know she is hoping I don't go through all this pain again. Xx
 
Pregnancy is no joke it really does take a toll on you and your body! I am in the same position as you Tuga not getting much sleep so just laying around hoping to sleep at some point! I am starting to feel a lot of pain it makes sleep very hard. I hope you get some sleep 😴

Hope you ladies are having a good day!
 
Hey ladies another one here with a lack of sleep. I woke up at 3am and lay awake about 10 mins before the alarm went off now I'm just shattered but trying to stay up a bit later so hopefully I sleep longer. 3 seems to be the in number doesn't it? I have been assured should I fall pregnant again I shall be presented with divorce papers lol.
I am just so so tired I am desperate to start getting up and doing normal things but if I went into labor 3 days before 37 weeks id be gutted so still taking it easy. Love to all you lovely ladies xxx
 
What is it with sleep these days? It's 4:02am and I m so tired I want to cry. Yet I m coughing like a dog, heartburn is just the worse and it feels like my lo is trying to escape from my mouth. I ve moved to the couch mind you! I know I m going to miss being pg despite all the worrying but being sleep deprived due to it is the one thing I ll never ever miss again! 39 weeks today! Who would have ever told me!

Hope we can all eventually catch up on some sleep soon ladies!
 
Lol am with u on the early morning waking I am averaging 5am at the minute 😩. 39 weeks that is amazing imagine if someone had told u that 20 weeks ago blooming fantastic. I bet u r just so uncomfortable by now, I am noticing the discomfort getting worse daily now, it's the squashed lungs that gets me. Come on Christianas little girl it's time to evacuate xxx
 
Good morning lovely ladies😘
Christiana congratulations! 39 weeks👍 well done.
Today I had to move away from the bed and sleep on the floor. Hubby was not happy lol. He said he would sleep on the floor instead but it felt so comfortable for me. I finally managed to sleep around 4am.
I can't wait to get to 38 weeks. Heartburn is killing me and I haven't had a good night's sleep in ages.
 
Tuga..on the floor????? Seriously??? Lol! Get a yoga mat at least!! I wish my heartburn had stopped with being 39 weeks...for me it's only getting worse! 6 km fast past walking last night and nada!

Laney, if someone had told me I d have replied they re crazy! Even the doctor was sure we weren't even going to make it to the 9th month! And then he was sure once we took the stitch out maya would come flying out! I guess she has her own plans! And lol, at least when these babies come out and want to feed every 2 hours we ll be already trained! We might even get more sleep!
 
Christiana, don't worry. I had some duvets on the floor and my pregnancy pillow lol
I can deal with anything but this heartburn is just pissing me off. Eating icecream helps a bit. Hopefully it will go away soon.
 
Hi ladies I would sleep anywhere as long as I could sleep. Was in the car today and was just soooo uncomfortable. Couldn't even eat my McDonald's chips they wouldn't fit in. Have had a trip to mother care to get our last minute things. It's made me realise the toll that bedrest has taken so I've decided I need to be up on my feet more to get a little muscle built up before he arrives think my lung capacity is pretty poor also. The weather here is poo again. Love to all xxx
 
I hate heartburn with all my might too! Tuga, you know how you said ice cream helps?? Well I sent hubby out for ice cream tonight....he got me grapefruit flavored :( I won't comment further!
Laney you can walk around now and get that boy lowered a bit to get some space! I just hope he doesn't follow maya in that aspect!
 
Hahahhhahshahah men sometimes are so useless. But we have to give them a break because most of the time they are pretty good. Especially now with all this stress.
Ice lollies, vanilla icecream plus walking for a while are the only thing that help me deal with heartburn. I didn't want to go out today but I was running out of ice lollies so I had to go get some at Sainsbury's.
I finished my antibiotics today. Cannot tell you how happy I am that I won't need to deal with that taste anymore. Hopefully...xx
 
Haha grapefruit of all flavours lol that's brill.
Tuga just remembered cefalexin made my heartburn 10x worse hopefully now your finished it will settle.
Day 1 of not bed resting I'm bloody exhausted xxx
 
Yes grapefruit....next time why don't you get me lemon or something???? Useless doesn't even come close sometimes!

Tuga, I don't know that antibiotic but it sounds vile..thank God it's finished! And if laney is right then you have a nice surprise to look forward to!

Laney, 2 days to 37 right? Remind me again when s the stitch out?
 
Ladies I m sitting here, 2:32 am and I kind of think I m at the early stages of labor...been having contractions for the past half an hour or so...they re not extremely regular but averaging every 5 minutes and mild to medium in intensity. Really not sure what to believe but really hope this is it!
