Thanks ladies!
Yes Septie it's very hard always someone in here or something beeping, etc. Drives me crazy.
Twinkle that's great news keep it that way!
Christina I hope Maya appointment goes well, that sounds so frustrating. Really wishing her the best in working it out.
Yes Laney still waiting got pucs! You can't do it on mobile browser you have to go to desktop, not sure if your using a phone.
Sorry flies I don't know much on that but wish you luck!!
As for my twins one is doing well in NICU and I got to hold him 😆unfortunately my other got transfered to a children's hospital 40+minutes away from mine 😢 my poor baby has esphogus artesia and is due for surgery Monday AM to fix it. If it can't be extended he gets a feeding tube and has to grow more for a 2nd attempt. They are looking for more defects. I am so heart broken. I hope he's strong enough. My hubby went to be with him so I am happy he's not alone. All the issues we were having with him was that, it couldnt be picked up off a scan.

Koifish, congratulations my lovely❤ they were born on my oldest son's birthday 🎂. Sorry to hear about what's happening to one of them. I will keep you in my prayers. Hope all goes well.❤😘
Laney and Christiana, sorry to hear you are still dealing with reflux. Hope things improve soon. Many kisses and hugs to Maya and Noah.
Septie and Twinkle, I hope all is well.
Fliss, welcome. I hope everything goes well for you.
As for me, things have calmed down a bit. I have a growth scan on the 23rd and I will see the consultant on the 27th. Fingers crossed it all goes well.
Much love to you all❤

Omg so much has happened. Koi fish congratulations on your twins birth, so sorry one isn't doing so well have got everything crossed for him.
Christiana it sounds like you and poor Maya are really going through it, we haven't got it that bad I think u are defo right going back to the dr. Has Maya lost weight or is she still gaining. If the babies stop gaining weight that Is when the Drs take notice here. Good luck for Monday
Yes u r right I access this forum via my phone I shall go on my laptop and sort a photo thank u.
Love to everyone xxx

Tuga good to hear everything's settled and quiet! Hope the appointment goes well!
Laney, yes it's pretty bad atm..thankfully she s gaining weight but that is will her feeding every hour of the day! That was what the doc had told me..we ll treat her more aggressively if she stops gaining weight. Today was a good day, I m really getting confused about what it is I eat that makes her reflux worse. Good to hear Noah is not that bad with reflux though!
Koifish I sorry to hear one of your los is not doing so well and he has to be away from you for a while. I really pray the procedure will do the trick and you won't have to wait and have a second one. How is the other one? Do you have a time frame given? And how are you hun? All of this must be a lot to handle with a section on top. Sending you all my love and positive thoughts.

Oh Koifish! Hope they don't find any more defects and can fix the one already. At least it looks like your LO was diagnosed quickly is getting good care, albeit at a different hospital. Are they thinking of transferring you and your second so that you can all be together? Or will you be discharged so that you can visit? It must be so tough with the two little ones at two hospitals...while recovering. Will keep my fingers crossed for you!!
Have they told you how the atrasia would have caused problems in utero? As I'd think they'd only need the esophagus once born and eating?
Christiana, that reflux does not sound like fun - and neither does feeding continuously (my first breasfed continuously, though without reflux - he just became very fat very quickly, from a tiny newborn). Hope it improves soon for you. How are the older two coping?
Tuga, glad things have calmed down a bit for now. Laney, hope all continues going well.
As for me, 37 weeks today
Lots and lots of very uncomfortable lightening crotch in the cevix/vagina, I think baby is settling really low (they already had difficulty measuring the head last week as baby so low). ..Not a whole lot of BH though. Have appointment tomorrow. Should I ask for a cervix check? I am tempted not to...Whatever happens happens at this stage. Though would be curious to know if I will make it to my planned section (if I go early, we'll have nobody to watch the older two, so OH won't be there for birth).

I was really pleased mine measured 3.6cm and no funnelling. Im now sat thinking will this length carry me through until 24wks which is just under 5weeks away? Or can it drastically change and funnel within a week or so? My consultant isnt very informative and iv tried searching google but had no luck. My cervix wont be checked again but i will be having a normal ultrasound in 10 days. Also can your cervix change with a cerclage in?x

Septie well done momma!! You ve reached full term!!!awesome!!! Whatever the length at this point I think you re making it to your section!! Maya is still gaining weight despite the reflux! She gained 270g in the past week and is now a whooping 4020g!! The reflux is the same but her little smiles just make things better 
the other two are really ok, we ve found a good routine and they re back to being happy!!! It's also the holidays so I have time with them! We ve been swimming every day!
Twinkle cervical length can flunctuate a bit. I remember mine kept going from 3 to 2.5 then to 3.5 all the way to the end! If it's a true ic then unfortunately yes it can go down drastically very fast. But it doesn't sound like yours really has a problem so yes it will surely take you to 24 weeks and way way waaaayyy after that. Remember ic is not a problem after 28 weeks unless you go in full blown labour.

Hi ladies.
Hi twinkle I totally second what Christiana says. Ur length can change drastically but with ur history and a stitch it's very unlikely. The more pregnancies I had the better my cervix coped (I'm guessing scar tissue) I had all the aches, pains, pressure and in the end they cud not get my stitch out and then ended up getting induced lol.
Christiana Maya sounds like she is doing just fine. Been doing a bit of research and u can get a supplement called colief here it's a drop u add to their milk ( more complicated if bf ing ) but it's an enzyme to help them digest the lactose in the milk if u have a look at reviews online it may be worth a try although Maya sounds like she's doing great it may help your and her pain.
Koi fish I hope ur little ones are doing well and love to all the other ladies xxx

Tuga congrats on reaching 36 weeks! You wouldn't have believed it a few weeks ago!!!
Laney thanks hun! I had tried colief with my first daughter. Unfortunately maya will not take a bottle. I pump once a day to keep my supply up and make a bank but whenever I ve tried giving her a bottle she ll just push it away in disgust!! Ow well..we re 1.5 months.. I think usually things start getting better after 3!
How s Noah doing??
Koifish how are you n Los doing??

Christiana, just an idea: Can you mix breastmilk and colief and squirt in with a syringe? That's how my OH fed baby who wouldn't take a bottle in an emergency when I was unavailable...
Tuga, congrats on 36 weeks!! I felt really uncomfortable yesterday afternoon - cramping in back, and then tons of painful movement (even more than usual). Thankfully cramping stopped, and now back to usual activity.
Koifish, thinking of you and your little ones this week! Any update on the operation (whenever you get a chance - you must be under a tremendous amount of stress!)?

Hi girls,
I had a short cervix with my first twin pregnancy. I delivered my twins at 28 weeks due to my son's placenta failing and him falling behind on his growth though. I made it to 28 weeks so I am not sure how much further I would of gotten with my short cervix if my son didn't have complications. My twins are both healthy 2 year olds now even after lengthy NICU stays so my story has a happy ending!
Well long story short I am starting to research the internet about cerclages for my next pregnancy because I want to do a FET cycle sometime this Fall. I was wondering if anyone had any success stories they wanted to share on success with an early placed cerclage. I saw 80 to 90% success rates on the internet when the cerclage was placed early. Can anyone share their experiences/ stories with me on this? Thanks in advance!

Hello my lovelies😘
Yesterday I walked a bit because I had some stuff I had to take care off before baby comes. As I was coming home I notice my feet was quite swollen. It made it so hard to walk but I managed to get home and have been resting since. Besides a few toilet trips I haven't done much but my feet are still really swollen. I actually think its worse than yesterday.
Although I know that it is something that can happen in pregnancy I've never had this problem before so I am a bit worried. I don't have any other issues, just this. It's really weird because when I could I can feel as though I have water on my feet...is this normal? Have any of you experienced this before? Hope everyone is doing well. Koifish, I have been thinking about you and the twins and I hope things have gotten better. 😘😘

I just called the midwife and she asked if I have any other symptoms. I don't. She told me to lay down and raise my legs higher than the rest of my body which I am doing now. They have been swollen since yesterday afternoon. I will see how it goes. She said that if it doesn't go down I should go to the hospital to get it checked. xx

Septie that's actually a very good idea, thanks
Tuga ok I wish I could post a pic from my mobile...my feet did not fit in any shoe in the last weeks of pg! And when I say didn't fit THEY DIDNT FIT AT ALL! Even a pair of flip flops broke! And I normally have really skinny feet! And I never had any sweeping with my other pgs! Everyone around me were worried..I asked the mw a couple of times and she just laughed at the sight of them! She said they looked like perfectly baked croissants! My swelling would only slightly go down at night but it d be back to puffed up after a couple of hours in the morning! Of course get it checked but from my experience I wouldn't worry too much!
Wannabe, congrats on your twins! That must have been a long road! I had a cerclage with dd1 and made it to 35 weeks. Then I had a stitch with dd2 and made it to 39w1d! A preventative cerclage is always way better than an emergency one so if I were you I d definitely push for one!
