Oh no twinkle that bloody ridiculous. Similar happened to me though not as bad. How could she even suggest not having a stitch with your history that's just off the scale stupidity. Thank goodness u had the sense to phone the secretary, I hope so much u can still have your date. I was all prepped and gowned up for my stitch this time and last minute they sent me home as they had too many emergencies I was gutted as just wanted it in and hubby had day off and I had to find childcare again. Let's just hope they can still keep that date for u. Just make sure it's the consultant u know goin to do the stitch and not that daft woman xxx

Laney I can't believe It I could cry as I was on countdown 
I just can't believe that a consultant can be so daft when they are a proffesional u think u can trust them. I'm now starting to wonder if she has told me right with the other things I asked on the day, like I questioned if I needed swabs before my stitch this time and she said no. Even though last time I had swabs?
Aww That is terrible what they did to you! I would have been very angry if they did that to me. It's not fair when you get yourself mentally prepared for somthing then it's just taken away. Esp when a stitch is so important to us to keep our babies in!
Do you know what the consultant asked me aswel. Are you sure you don't want to postpone your stitch placement until your Down syndrome screening comes back as you might want a termination instead! I can't even believe someone would suggest waiting for a stitch placement and suggesting termination

Crikey Twinkle this woman sounds off her rocker. I was never given swabs before any of my stitches however this last preg I pretended I thought I had thrush and got a swab that way ( naughty naughty). The problem I had was getting an appointment with my consultant to arrange the stitch, I had to phone and explain to the secretary several times why I needed an appointment with him before 12 weeks. When they finally sent an appointment for me to meet him I'd have been 16 weeks in the end I had to make a very emotional/angry call as I was running out of time. Then it got cancelled and rearranged. I think my Dr was as pissed off as me about that
Omg Twinkle, what a horrible person you came across😱! How could she ask you that!!??? I would make a complain and refuse to be seen again by this person. So horrible.
I swear some of these medical staff have no heart seriously...the amount of heartless doctors I have come across in the last 13 years is sad. Thankfully there are some really good ones out there.
I always look for a second opinion. Always.
I hope it all goes well for you and you can still have your date. Its better like that than to end up like me. They put it off until they realised I really had to have it and I ended up having an emergency one after going to the hospital to have a normal scan.
It will be ok Twinkle. I will have fingers crossed for you😘

Tuga, forgot to add - congrats on 30 weeks! I breathed a huge sigh of relief then (am 31w1d now) - I really think by far the worst is behind you. I believe if they come now, they will be ok eventually...Am heading for another leg ultrasound 'cause I keep having weird leg pain (family history of blood clots...).
Hello lovely ladies, how is everyone today. Christiana how are you and the lovely Maya. 37 weeks today for me and I get my stitch out tomorrow, I have so many emotions running through my head. I hope you are all well xxx
Hi ladies😘 hope everyone is well.
Laney my lovely congratulations on 37 weeks👍. Tomorrow is the day then. Will be crossing everything for you so it will be done quickly and painless.
Doctor said I can walk a bit now so I've been going for walks in my local park. Today I took my daughter to school for the first time in months. She was so excited 😍 xx

Awww Tuga that must have been so lovely. I was very pensive this morning and realise more than ever it's the little things that count. It was funny this morning was lying in bed thinking for the 1st time in months I can sit at the table inThe kitchen for breakfast with my kids then came down and the kitchen table is in the bloody living room as the kitchen floor is being replaced so once again I had breakfast on the sofa lol xxx
Hey ladies hope everyone is doing well.
Hope everything is OK with your leg septie! Congrats Laney I hope it goes well tomorrow
Tuga enjoy walking, I bet it feels nice to be moving around a bit! Christina I hope you and you little are doing well!!! Twinkle that is absolutely horrible I hope your able to get it all straightened out! What terrible things of her to say and do. I would definitely refuse to see her ever again. Hope it works out!
I am good, hitting the 28 week point shortly. Was told that at this point I am to not piss off my cervix but no point in measurements any more and should be ok. The complications have gotten better and will hopefully work it's self out so I should make it for a bit longer if things keep the way they are or get better.

Good luck Laney! Will be thinking of you today!!
Christiana, so glad everything is going well with your little boobmonster. Can't wait for the picture! Funny that people have called your older ones twins...Same happens with ours all.the.time. Strange, as our kids are all 2 years apart (mine look maybe one year apart, as our eldest is on the short side, but still!)
koifish, almost 28 weeks, that's fabulous!!! You must be so relieved.
Leg appointment went well - my legs must be feeling funky due to the long bedrest...Tuga, walking a bit is great - I've been doing it a bit (within reason) as well.

Hey ok that was pretty much as painful as labor. My cervix had grown over the knot so they had to dig it out, took about 50 mins ended up on the gas and air. Consultant had to come in and take it over as the Dr couldn't get it out. Had some strong painkillers so just cAme home and went to bed. Drs were as shocked as me at how much my cervix had grown over the stitch. How that did not set labor off I do not know. They put me on nst monitor not one braxton/contraction.
Christiana Maya sounds like she's doing amazing you must have good quality milk. Septie so glad your legs are nothing serious.
Tuga great idea walking get your strength up wish I had started walking a bit sooner xxx

Hey Laney, sorry you had to go through all of that pain. I am seriously dreading it now. Good thing the doctor is thinking about doing it on the same day as the caesarean.
But its out of the way now for you. Soon you will have your little one here.
I actually just came from hospital. I was there since this morning. The pain on my upper back became unbearable. I couldn't breath properly, so I went to the hospital and they kept me there the whole day doing scans, ctg and ecg...thankfully I am home now with paracetamol and codeine. Hopefully things will settle a bit. This pregnancy is the hardest one. I think my age is not helping especially with all the problems I already have. The important thing is that I am at home, almost begged the doctor to let me go. When you are in maternity assessment triage you hear all kinds of stuff. I am just blessed that my baby is still here and growing strong. Thats the most important thing my lovelies.
Stay blessed. Much love xx

Hey Tuga I'm so sorry if I scared you, I did think twice about posting how it went as I didn't want to frighten anyone but I didn't want to tell a lie. What I will say is I've had 2 other stitches out and they were both fine. My body just decided to make this one part of itself big style apparently it's very rare for it to be that embedded.
I wonder what has been causing you that pain? I would be comforted by the fact that it was in your upper back as contractions/ baby related is usually lower back but still scary and worrying. I hope it's settling for you, this pregnancy has been the worst for me I am still terrified of something going wrong. Keep up with the painkillers and don't feel guilty like I did ( mind u I had enough to sink an elephant yesterday) if they can just take out your stitch during c sec I would go for that xxx

Hi Ladies , hope you are all doing great.
I had the most stressful night last night. Couldn't sleep with the pain. Almost ended up in the hospital again. Spend the night awake . Hubby did all he could;massaged my back, gave me ice, painkillers...it was just too much. This morning I took paracetamol and codeine. It settled a bit so I managed to sleep for a few hours. Don't know why I have this pain now. As if I didn't have enough on my plate... When the pain is at its worse I can't even breathe properly. I have an appointment on Saturday, a growth scan. Doctor said if pain persists they will do an xray to see if it shows anything.
I am just so tired now. Fed up actually. I hate to feel like this. This is actually worse than my first pregnancy and that is saying something...i am starting to think that maybe this is due to my age and the amount of anaesthesia I've had in the last 12 years. I am praying this will settle otherwise ai may end up in hospital again and I really don't want that to happen. xx
