Thanks I just called my doc since its been a little more than 2 hours with contractions but he said they need to be every 5 minutes for an hour before I make my way. They are currently roughly every 8-10 minutes so we ll see!

 

[Laney26]

Oh wow Christiana. I hope this is it for you. Got everything crossed for you and your little girl xxx

 

[Tuga]

Good luck Christiana😍 fingers crossed today is the day. Hope it all goes well. xx

 

[chistiana]

Thanks for your wishes girls. I m so dissapointed though..I went in for another NST, contractions keep coming and some are pretty intense but they are irregular now so doc says there's nothing he can do so he sent me home

Hi ladies,

Hope your all ok. Christiana i hope your little girls here for you soon.

Im wondering if any of you ladies have suffered with thrush during your pregnancies,

Iv never suffered with it before during pregnancy and iv been told by the nurse that i can use creams to get rid of it but i forgt to say i suffer with incompetent cervix im wondering if the cream will affect my cervix, i dont want my cervix to open but i need to get rid of the thrush ready for my stitch to be inserted on the 16th x

 

[Laney26]

Oh no Christiana you are kidding. Bless your heart.
Twinkle I've had thrush a few times in this pregnancy. Yes u definitely need to be clear from thrush for stitch placement. I think this is one you need to ask the experts about. I used numerous pessarys This pregnancy but only after stitch wAs in and we knew cervix was fully shut. I also had to take a fluconazole tablet but I know they don't like giving these in 1st trimester. I suspect u will be fine with a pessary but see whAt your consultant says xxx

 

[Twinkle 3]

Thanks laney for your advice it really helps I'll use the external cream today and I'll ring my consultants secretary tomorrow morning to ask about the internal part so see if he would recommend it or not. I just can't wait till my stitch is in and deffinetly don't want it postponed through thrush I tried all the natural remedies first and none of them worked x

 

[Laney26]

Twinkle id be exactly the same. the good news is you have plenty of time to get the thrush fully cleared up before your stitch date. I'm sure your cervix will be shut so a pessary should be fine Defo ask consultant 1st they may even give u the tablet. Fun and games eh. Xxx

Good morning ladies I thought there was going to be 2 new arrivals today. I had a couple of painful braxtons last night I just ignored them and went to sleep. At 4.30 I woke up to my bump being tight and sore but the worst but was a pulling pain in my bum area, at one point I also felt pressure it was pretty painful. It lasted about 2 hrs then started to calm and I took some paracetamol. Still a bit tender now but haven't got the pressure or pulling. I have 14 hours to hold on until I am 37 weeks I so hope I get there. Hope everyone else is having nice quiet days and am just so over the moon for you Christiana xxx

 

[Tuga]

Good morning lovelies.
Laney, ohhhh how exciting if you and Christiana had babies at the same time😍 you are past the 36 weeks so that's ok. Have you packed your hospital bag yet? If not you really should just in case.
I am very excited because I am 30 weeks today❤ but the aches just keep on coming. This morning I woke up with this nasty pain on my back after sleeping for just 3 hours. Hubby said to call midwives to let them know but I think this is due to me not sleeping well for a few day now. Let me see how the day goes...

 

[Laney26]

Morning Tuga. Happy 30 weeks. From 30 weeks I class as the countdown. I have had pretty bad back / hip ache all the way through and it's so hard to know if it's something or nothing. Today is not the day I want to have him as we bought a new build house last yr and today is the day they r ripping up the floor, re screedi g and relaying it. Today was the only date the company cud do it (typical). My 6 yr old is also on his school trip to the beach and I just feel a bit anxious about it, I'll be glad when he's home. Are those aches settling at all. My guide has always been if paracetamol settles it it's ok but If it doesn't get checked. No idea if that's right or not though xxx

 

[Tuga]

Hey Laney, yes I have already taken paracetamol and it is getting better. I don't think is anything to worry about.
When my kids go to the seaside without me I am unable to do anything lol I can only relax when I have them in front of me.
Trust babies to choose exactly the most stressful day to be born eh? xx

 

[Laney26]

Lol I can never do anything the easy way lol. Glad the paracetamol has helped I think you are right those aches and pains would be building by now if it was anything serious. You are like me I just won't relax till I know he is back just want this day to go quickly for so many reasons xxx

Congratulations Christiana it's always lovely to here of a baby's birth especially after an IC pregnancy.

Laney I had a few false alarms with my little boy. The day before I had him I woke up thinking I was in labour the contractions disappeared and came back properly the next day. Hopefully your baby stays put a little longer for you take it easy.

Ladies I'm really upset today. I was supposed to be seeing my consultant last week but instead he wasn't available and I had to see a different one. She wasn't really caring and I asked for my cervical stitch booking in. She first tried to talk me into cervical length scans rather than a stitch. Even though Iv had a stitch in my last pregnancy due to two preterm births, one of them resulting in the loss of my little boy.
Any way she reluctantly booked me in for a cervical stitch but she said I didn't need a theatre slot or a pre op and just to turn up on the day to the delivery suite? I thought it was strange as last time I had my stitch I had to be checked over in the pre op then I had a letter sent out to me telling me what to eat on the day of the procedure and I was booked in on a theatre list.

So Iv rang my consultants secretary today questioning why I just have to turn up on the day without being booked in and the secretary can't believe what this other consultants told me as I'm not booked in for a stitch at all I have arranged for my other children to be looked after on the day the consultant told me and my fiancé had booked time off work too. All for nothing now I'm sat here waiting to see if I can even be booked in for 14weeks.

I'm so anxious to get this stitch in as I'm feeling a lot of pressure in my stomach and bum and I dar to even go out any more now x
