Sorry I haven't read a ton but thought I'd pop in real quick.
Tuga congrats on hitting 36 weeks! Your swelling to me sounds normal. My thighs to my toes were extremely swollen the last month and a half. I was told another few weeks and it should go down but still swollen now. Putting my feet up helped a little but not much. I hope it gets better I know how uncomfortable it is!
Septie go your still cooking, make it the 4th!!
one of us has to hit the due date!
Christina I hope Maya is doing better, I know that reflux has been awful. Always hoping she's getting better with it.
Laney I hope your little man is doing good and his reflux is better also. I hope he's doing well and growing strong!
Twinkle it sounds good so far, I wouldn't expect it to get super short, still sounds at a good length, keep cooking!
My boys are doing well currently. One is off most iv's and mainly just eating, growing and learning to do things. He's learning to take a bottle so they let me feed him. Its great! My other little one is recovering from a big surgery that went very well. He's hooked up to lots of stuff so it's hard. For a 3 day old he handled it like a champ. Probably better than me I ended up with a blood patch and took it like a whimp lol. We've been through a lot but I am so over the moon he took the surgery well and now has a full attached esophagus and trachea hole to stomach is fixed. He will be in hospital for a while
but as long as he does good it's ok.
Sorry if that was long. Its hard.

Koi they are both absolutely precious!!! So so glad to hear that they re both doing well and your little fighter took so well to the surgery n he won't be needing another one! How are you feeling momma? Sorry I don't know what a blood patch is but it doesn't sound very pleasant. Sorry about that but you can be a whimp all you want you just had two babies!!!
Fliss so glad to hear your cervix is holding up just fine! And welcome on team pink

Koifish, Can't tell you how happy I am to hear that your boys are doing well. Well done little warriors. They are absolutely gorgeous. Congrats my lovely❤
Fliss, congrats on your scan result. You must be so relieved.
Afm, I ended up going to the hospital yesterday night because I became very dizzy suddenly. Turns out I had high blood pressure. Was kept in and given medication.
Today I had my growth scan and all is well. He is growing just fine and is almost 3kg❤
Now I must wait for Monday. I have an appointment with my consultant to book the c-section and cerclage removal. Really excited about that😍

Khoi and Kolten are gorgeous!! Koi's eyes look so awake and bright already - hard to believe he's a preemie. And Kolten is quite a sizable guy too! Congrats again on cooking them for so long - bet it helped to get Kolten through is surgery without complications
So so glad to hear it!
A blood patch? For a post spinal headache? Yikes!! Poor you, in addition to K's surgery...Hope it worked at least.
Fliss, great news!
Tuga, we are getting so close!!

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!
Thanks for sharing your story with me hun! I am glad that yours went well and your babies were able to be born close to full term!
I know that there are risks to having the surgery itself, and it is scary, but those risks are really low and worth it to have your baby be able to get delivered closer to full term. The risks to a preemie and the long NICU stays are really scary. Both of my twins had lengthy NICU stays, my daughter was there for 2 months and my son for 4 months. Was the cerclage very painful to have put in? How long did you have to rest after the procedure? What type of anethesia did you have? Thanks in advance for anything you can tell me about it.
I am of course going to talk to my DR and see what they think assuming my FET cycle is a success.Hi Ladies,
Would you mind if I rejoin? I was here 3yrs ago, I have a stitch with my youngest daughter after they found funnelling and shortening of my cervix at 14wks. My stitch held out well, and my daughter was born @ 40+6. I am now 13wks pregnant with baby no:4, our final addition to our family! My visit with the consultant went better than expected this week, my cervix is closed and 37 mm, I am being scheduled for a stitch within the next 2weeks. I am still being very cautious as I know how quickly things can change.
This thread kept me sane with some amazing advice last time, and I have been stalking for the last few weeks.
I actually remember many names from last time...big hello to you all.
My ticker is very out of date!
Xx

31 weeks today and had a TV u/s on thursday. My cervix was 4.5cm!!! I had a scan at the same time last pregnancy and it was just over 2cm. I am SO relieved that the progesterone is working for me so far.
Warm welcome to the new ladies❤
How's everyone doing? Hope all is well.
Koifish, how are the twins? Sending good thoughts and massive kisses your way.
Tomorrow I will be 37 weeks and I have an appointment with my consultant where he is going to set a date for my c-section. Really excited about it. Can't wait to have my baby in my arms. I am so done with all the stress and worrying...
Hope you are all well 😘

Yikes we re in Patmos island (me and maya n waiting for hubby with nik n nat on Thursday hoping to have a calm holiday Hi ladies hope all is well. Christiana I didn't know u cud have goats milk I have been drinking coconut milk which still isn't great but the best out of a bad bunch 😜. I've also been taking coconut oil as it's supposed to be fab for making breast milk just started yesterday so I will keep u informed On that one. I know I can't take fenugreek as my sister has a severe nut allergy and it's in the peanut family so I'm taking nettle extract again no idea if it does anything. Bet my milk tastes like a cross between the tropics and a English forest lol. Ugh off to the docs today will not go into detail but there's lots of yuck coming out my stitches an guessing I'll need antibiotics which I'm hoping won't affect my milk. Had a migraine yesterday as well so a bit rough at the minute
Tuga awesome u got ur date not long at all now although I bet it drags it did with me.
Lovely everyone's cervixes are holding up. Love to all you fabulous brave ladies xxx

Oh well ladies I have a rather nasty infection and my stitches are in danger of bursting grrr. I'm on co amoxiclav 500mg which is pretty strong and will go in my milk a little bit it's what ladies get for mastitis so it is safe I just feel really guilty on poor Noah xxx

Koifish so glad to hear both your lil boys are strong fighters and doing great! Bet you ll build a fab milk supply with all this pumping and your boys will be bfing like champs soon!
Laney ok you have to tell me about the coconut oil.... How are we supposed to get it? And the nettle exctract? Is it like a pill or something??? I really need a boost in my milk supply if I go back to work in September! Sorry to hear about your stitches, it actually sounds pretty painful. Don't worry about the antibiotics, and of course Noah wants his mom strong so I m sure he won't mind
Afm: well it's actually been pretty hard with Maya's colic and reflux and being alone. Sorry about the upcoming rant but I m actually with a friend, her kids and her mom. Thing is she ll be looking at me bouncing up and down aaaallll day long and does not offer to take her off my hands nt even for a minute. She ll be sitting there looking at me with a face that is totally "OMG what is wrong with your baby???" I am about to slap her but don't want to ruin the holidays 😡

Yikes Llaney, sorry to hear about the infection!!! Hopefully the antiobotic will work! When did you first notice symptoms?
Christiana - sorry to hear about Maya! On the positive front, you are getting quite an arm workout
Went to L&D yesterday, as baby was hyperactive nonstop (total of 15 hours!! Maybe 1/2 hour of sleep) with lots of weird doppler measurements. Well, trace on baby was thankfully good, but apparently I am having contractions I can't feel. Cervix closed, but baby's head very very low. Today one spot of my belly to the left of the belly button is sore when I move. Is that normal? from movements? Wish they would take him out now, getting nervous as I've had 2 sections and want to avoid labor (38w3d)!
