Incompetent Cervix - stitch/cerclage - threatened labour

[lizziedripping]

Kate woohoo hun 12 days til stitch removal! All those weeks and months of fear and anxiety drawing to a close at last. It must feel strange but you must be hugely relieved. 36wks is early, but as you know, it could be a few weeks before lo puts in an appearance anyway. Well done you, absolutely delighted

JJ - thanks so much for your vote of confidence chicken I am mindful of my increasing age, but don't worry too much about conception, just getting the little blighters to stick! Having just turned 39, I know time isn't on my side but I think there's at least another 2/3yrs baby making left in both of us yet hun

So pleased you managed to 'dodge the raindrops' yesterday again. I know your levels have increased, but they certainly seem to be stable for now and not catapulting up to where they were originally. That's got to be a good sign sweetie. Your weekend plans sound wonderful btw - very therapeutic and will give you all a chance to recharge your batteries. Have a restful night

Actually ladies, we haven't heard from Olga or Bf in a while - am going to look back and see exactly when...........bit worried come to think of it. Hope you two are ok xxx

 

[lizziedripping]

Ok, so bf last made contact on Sunday, and Olga on Saturday. Ladies, I do hope all is ok? You do realise you're not permitted to have a life outside this thread, and must report in to us at least once a day lol. Just joking

Seriously tho, if you get a moment let us know all is well with you. Love to you both

 

[olga2424]

Hi ladies,:wave::wave: so sorry for the silence as am still having trouble with my internet connection and making posts on my phone can be a bit of a challenge.
Larockera hun, massive congrats to you hun...cant wait to see pics of little Xanthe, you def must be in cloud again well done you!

Jimmyjam hun, congs and brilliant news on your second lot of results, a neg FFN test result and your Dad being knighted. I told you things were going to even get better hun and fingers crossed that the poly will eventually stabilizes. You've cracked me up re-waters breaking in front of the Madge you are HILARIOUS!!

Christiana hun, sorry you having troubles with the progesterone pessaries.... My cons recommended I insert them via 'back door' after I had my stitch as its best to avoid the front door in case of introducing more infection and also they are less messy and dissolve better rectally.

Kate - well done you! How I wish I was in your shoes right now....stitch removal in 12 days time, WOW! I can only dream of that day.

Lizzie - How you doing hun and hope all is well with you....sending loads of baby dust your way hun.
Violinnem - welcome hun and CL of 2.9cm with no funneling is fab dear!
Book.fish - Hope all is well with you dear...21w and counting, soon you will be 22w

Update from me: Am back in hospital (st. Heliers) again as my consultant was not happy that st. Thommies had discharged me just coz my FFN test had come back neg....She still feels I should be on hospital bed rest till am at least 30w (3w away phew!!) + the past 2 days I have been experiencing a lot of lower abdominal cramping and lower back ache....Also feels like I may have a urine infection as am experiencing burning and stinging sensation, constantly wanting to pee + the dip stick test i've just done is showing some protein in my urine.
Just as am starting to feel confident and now this...The good news is at least Ive made it to 27w and just praying for 3 more (which feels like a life time away!). Ive got another scan on Monday to check my cervix and really praying it stays the same.

Lizzie hun, I know you mentioned some where in your posts about IC not being a threat after 27-28w....Am still experiencing a lot of heaviness down below and worry my bubba is going to fall out when I get up to use the loo, am also experiencing painful kicks and so worried she's kicking her way out through the stitch...
Am so depressed at the mo, I used the call bell to ask for some paracetamol from the midwife and this horrible woman came in my room....she looked so angry that I had pressed call bell for assistance, she dint even give me the chance to finish speakin' as she was texting on her mobile phone whilst talking to me (HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE WOMAN!!) ....Am def going to complain tomorrow morning as that's totally un professional and un acceptable. I burst into tears when she left the room...The midwives during the day are so lovely and helpful but most of the night ones are plain horrible....wonder how they call them selves midwives. Sorry about the rant as I needed to take it of my chest!
Anyhow hi to all the ladies Ive missed out and hope your all doing well.
Olga xx

Lizzie hun, am so sorry for not updating sooner....Was still waiting to have our internet installed which was done today. I find it difficult to post on my phone as the internet can be quite slow...I am able to read but its a job posting on my blooming phone.
Now that am in hospital I should be able to participate more often as the WI-FI is very good.

 

[chistiana]

Olga- hey hun so glad to hear from you! Sorry you re back in hospital but with the pains you re having it seems your doc is playing it safe and being proactive. I know hospital sucks but you dont have too much to go hun, afyer we all have our babies we ll go fr not doing anything all day to long to running around like mad people all day long! You should definitely complain about that horrible women, they think their jobs are to sit on their ass and pretend to be helpful all night...well guess what...you actually HAVE to help not just pretend to! Give them grief babe, sometimes it s the only way to survive it!!sending you lots of hugs and i m sure everything is going just fine!!!

 

[lizziedripping]

Hi Olga and thanks for the update hun. Just relieved that you're 'ok'. I know it's not much fun being back in hospital, but it's probably for the best and is the only place you will get absolute rest.

As for nasty midwives, I could write the book on those! They are either absolutely lovely, or pure evil lol. Sometimes the night staff are made up from auxiliary staff, not midwives and they are again a very mixed bag. Many of them are unhappy in their work, and this is reflected in the way they treat patients. It's not right or justified and you should definitely make a complaint. When you feel vulnerable and scared is when these inadequates really take advantage. Wish I was there, I'd be letting them know what I thought on your behalf darlin'. She shouldn't have been texting whilst a work for starters, totally unacceptable.

You are definitely past the IC danger point Olga. There is no risk of baby just coming out now, with or without the stitch. There is always a small risk of ptl as with any other pregnant lady, but this would be for seperate reasons unrelated to IC. I feel that had your cervix opened, and/or changed significantly you would have felt the effects by now and gone into labour. Every day that goes past now is very reassuring, especially since you have been experiencing lots of symptoms like this for weeks now with no ill effects.

I had constant aching and cramps in my back and lower abdomen, none of which meant anything sinister. Keep resting hun and feel very reassured by how far you've made it, and how well the stitch has worked. I am more optimistic than your Doctor, who I suspect might start to be more positive herself now she has seen you have gone further than she predicted xxx

 

[JimmyJam]

Oh Olga sweets, you poor love. Meanie nasty hospital staff. I know how it feels to be completely powerless & dependent on them. What a cow. You must definitely complain. Hang in there sweetie, you are doing so well.

I remember a couple of weeks ago O when you were praying you'd get to 27 weeks - and you are there already. I have every confidence you'll make 30 weeks - and quite possibly beyond. You've broken the back of this now & are on the Home Strait ... 27 & counting ...

I feel like a balloon today, the poly is defo returning with a vengeance & I am super uncomfortable. Just need to hang on for as long as I can before I submit to the next amnio. This condition is so hard b/c not only do I have the fear of losing the baby, the psychological headfuck of what's wrong & the nightmare discomfort & boredom of hospital , but it also has a profound impact on my physical wellbeing too & makes me feel breathless & panicky.

Bugger.

God I want a holiday. I just want to lie in the sun with its warmth on my face & swim in clear salty water. Real life, normal life, feels so far away from where I'm at now & sometimes I can't ever imagine feeling normal again ...

I hope you're all ok ladies. Bit worried about Bookfish, we haven't heard from her all week, which is unusual, and she is going through so much on her own in Dubai. BF you must let us know you're ok please!!!

Ok. Another day drifts by. Roll on Sunday with no dramas please - the prospect of 26 weeks & the opportunity to see my cat....

Take care all.

Jj xx

 

[chistiana]

Jimmy i m sorry you re feeling so bad both physically and mentally hun, it must be exhausting for everything to be happening all at once. I realt hope if/when you do the ambio again the polyo will devide to bugger off and not increase again. I know what you mean about holidays...i ve actually half threatened dh that once lo is here we re going 1 week up on the mountains (during the period i wont be able to swim) and then 3 weeks to an island I will choose, do whatever I want and spoil me rotten!!!i havent had a proper summer holiday 2 years now, we re doing it MY WAY this summer (touch wood, i hope everything runs smoothly till then!!) ANyway, 26 tomorrow i bet you just i I didnt believe this number would ever come...well here it is, here's to 28 and then 30 despite all our worries and difficulties! Xo

 

[chistiana]

Ps: sorry for so many typoes , i m absolutely useless with writing on my phone!

 

[kateqpr]

Hello everyone,

Olga - sorry to hear you're back inside. What a bugger eh? But i guess its better to feel you're being well monitored than not. And wow, 27 weeks is brilliant. I'm so sure you'll make it way beyond thirty weeks. That FFN result is still a great reassurance to you that you're so unlikely to go into labour in the next two weeks, so try and chill out in hospital and not worry.

And don't worry about having protein in your urine. I have this EVERY week. It may be nothing, but at least if it is, a couple of days of antibiotics should leave you feeling much better. And if it's any consolation, i have lots of cramps and really bad back pains too. They may just be normal pregnancy pains, worsened by bloody bed rest!

Christiana - you have the right idea. Holidays are SO you're decision now. I keep on reminding Andy how tough the last few months have been, and how i'm due some kind of compensation! I would love a fancy holiday, but i suspect with two little ones, our options (and money) will be limited. So we're planning an easy peasy house swap with some friends of ours who live by the seaside in Devon. They have two children too, so practically, it's easy. No cots etc to lug about. But my, how i long for the holidays we had years ago - cocktails on sun loungers, staring at the turquoise sea, lazy lie ins...

Jimmy - Oh honey. You sound down. Try not to - its so likely you'll have a few hours at home this weekend, so just soak up the feeling of home and cuddle that cat! It is brilliant that you've not had the amnio again this week - you've already bought yourself an extra fortnight that you thought might never happen. And okay, so it looks like you may need another one next week, but that should leave you feeling so much better, and get you through to at least 28/29 weeks, which was unimaginable before. Remember when your consultant was suggesting a C section at 26 weeks? The indicators are so much more positive now, which starts to suggest you may just be one of the percentage of poly sufferers for which is just an unexplainable phenomena.

I know how horrible it is to feel panicky - i suffer from panic attacks sometimes. Manage to control them now, but if i feel breathless, or claustraphobic, i have to really calm myself down and slow my breathing right down to stop the spiral of getting more and more panicky. Try and listen to music that you love, or yes, picture that beach you're dreaming off! Normal life is just around the corner, i promise. You're more than half way through the tunnel of the horrible second trimester period, when things seems so perilous. In fact you're in your final trimester (when the fun really starts!) is only 14 days a way. A doddle. In two weeks i promise some sort of weight will start to lift for you. I know you will still worry about certain elements of the unknown, but you will start to believe that you ARE having a baby - they can and will be born healthy and survive. The fear of losing everything will start to lift, and you will get a bit of a twinkle back in your eye. Not long now.....

Lizzie - i know - i can't believe stitch out in 11 days. I look back at old posts from around December / Jan, and i can see just how paralysed with fear i was. Such a horrible few months, which i know so many of you are going through now. But it does get better...

Having said that.....

I'm having a crap day today. I had very little sleep last night (Poppy is sick, i'm an insomniac at the mo. The two do not a happy Kate make!), and have been feeling so grumpy and fed up today. I'm starting to really worry and feel anxious about the future. Do you mind if you list my worries? I hate to harp on about these things, when you're all so stuck in those scary weeks of pregnancy, but i just need to vent a little i think, so keep myself sane!

Okay, so my knickers are wet ALL the time. It doesn't seem to be amniotic fluid - as in if i lie down for a while, nothing gushes out. But i just feel damp all the time. I wondering whether i'm just getting all horrible and sweaty down there as i'm getting chubbier and chubbier. My thighs are enormous right now, so God knows how my lady bits get any breathing space! Not sure whether to ring the midwife, but i kind of know what they'll say to do.
Also worried how i'll cope with the labour. I've just watched another episode of One Born Every Minute, and you know what scares me the most? Throwing up in labour. I'm so frightened of being sick, it's silly. I didn't in my last labour, but the fear i will this time is starting to come back again. Plus the pain side, obviously.... I guess it's normal at this stage to start focusing on the labour. I'd sort of ignored it for the whole of my pregnancy as i was too scared to think that far ahead!

Finally, really starting to worry about how i'm going to cope with Poppy and a newborn. I'm awful on no sleep - a really grumpy mare. I just hate the thought that i'll be no fun to live with for everyone for those first six months or so, and that Poppy and Andy will bare the brunt. I just feel its all down to me to make it work (even though Andy is a massive support, and so hands on with Pops).

Anyway - end of rant. Just feeling a bit bogged down with lots of little things at the moment, and have sciatica too. My back and leg hurts like buggery every time i walk. Boo hoo hoo (i feel so silly saying these things when you lovely ladies are in the midst of much more serious worries. Sorry)

Right - bed for me. Way past this grumpy lady's bed time

[JimmyJam]

Hey Kate,

Sorry you're feeling so glum & I'm sure part of it - as well as being anxious about labour & how you'll cope with two kids - is also a delayed reaction to the trauma you've been through over the last couple of months. I think, as women, we expect so much of ourselves & always feel it's up to us to make everything work. Don't underestimate that as the anxiety & fear of losing your baby subsides it's going to leave an aftermath. You are incredibly brave & strong but you're not superwoman. None of us are. It has to be natural to have a reaction to all the stress & trauma. Go easy on yourself - you're pg, looking after a toddler & emotionally & physically exhausted. Kate, you're amazing. Don't forget that.

I can't comment on the wet knickers other than to say that I have had 'residual pee' issues which have left my knickers wet too. But if you're anxious, don't hesitate. Don't give a crap if they think you're a pain or neurotic - get 'em to check it, if only for peace of mind. It's too important ...

Think your holiday in Devon sounds gorgeous. I can only just dream of that right now. All my pals have gone to a massive house on the Isle of Wight for one of my best mates' 40th birthdays. Eleven couples & 20 kids. Missing out again but whatever the outcome my time will come ... The sun will shine again.

Chrissy thank you for your lovely message. One way or another we will all get the holiday we deserve once this is all over. I went outside the hospital for the first time in 2 weeks today & sat in the pale Spring sunshine for 5 minutes, listening to the birdsong. Simple pleasures are so great right now ...

Hope everyone else is having a good w/end. Still no news from BF. O I do hope she's ok.

Big love to you all xxx

Hi ladies,

Jj: Oh how I recognize the wish of a normal life! And exactly the moments you describe with the warm sun in the face, and not to mention the day we can swim in the sea again! Its been so long! After we lost Jacob we went to Greece to get away for a bit, but i couldnt swim because I was afraid of infection after birth and two operations (they didnt manage to get the placenta out the first time). So I am really longing for exactly a nice swim in clear salty water...and I will think of you when the day finally comes!
I am happy that the last amnioreduction lasted this long, as I remember you were afraid you had todo it again just a couple of days after the procedure last time. But it has lasted about two-three weeks now? And if you now have to do it again and it last three more weeks (or longer) you will be even further in your pregnancy!
I cant understand how draining it must be for you worrying about if there is something wrong with the baby. Even though I dont have the additional complicatios you have, I am thinking about these issues to. We just have to have faith, and think about the fact that ultrasound and tests have been fine.

Kate: so happy for you, almost just a week away from getting the stich removed!
I have some questions for you, have you been on strict bedrest? in such case, when did you start moving around?
I hope you have a better day today. The wet knickers should be soaked, not just humid if you are worried about leacking AF. Thats what my doc told me. my underwear is humid/wet all the time, but not soaked..
You will do great when baby arrives, but of course you worry. I feel like we get new worries all the time, all depending where we are in the pregnancy.. I am starting to worry about still birth, the baby being sick and so on now, but a couple of weeks ago it was all about PTL. (not that i dont worry abou PTL now, its just more in the background of new worries). now that you are so close to baby number two, of course youre new thoughts are about how to manage two kids and so on, but you will- all ladies here know that you will!!!

So when we are talking about worries...I had two strings of bright red in my discharge today... I try to not panic about it since all discharge after that have been totally fine, no blood, clear and like it usually is. But then I am scared the stcht maybe are holding back blood from the uterus...If you understand what I mean..that something is wrong, and if I didt have the sticht there would have been a lot more blood coming, but now its held back by the sticht? Do you have any calming words for me? my OH says it was to little to get worried about and that its the thread irritating my cervix so that some stains of blood will come..,but I do no not manage to relax...The baby is active, and i do not have any pain..,

Olga: I am glad you are 'ok' and It sounds like docs are watching you closely. 27 week is good and ffn test showing negative, means you the baby will stay in longer! Yay

lots of love, liv

 

[liven1980]

I was also wondering about something else...what is the worst "position" for the cervix? is it walking, standing or sitting? I think I read some kind of 'order', but do not remember what came first and last...

 

[liven1980]

Yes, I am thinking about BF to. Everyday. Oh, i hope she and her babies are well. I wanted to tell her that there is a documentary on high risk pregnancies from a norweian hospital every wednesday going now. This wed it was about an early birth of twins because they shared the amniotic sac (instead of having one each) and they arrived in week 29. They were in NICU of course, and there was a lot of stress and worries for the parents...but everything went very well! We met them one year later as well, and they where so fine

 

[chistiana]

Kate- hey hun, so sorry you ve been having a down time... I totally agree with jimmy saying that now you re much closer all the anxieties you would have normally had before i coming on. You know, we stand up and be tough for our babies but once we can relax everything kind of hits us in the face. I m sure you ll do fine with 2 kids, it s only normal to feel stressed but remember you ve already done it once so you already know a lot more than you did eith poppy. Plus i can undertand being grumpy especially with sleep deprivation, i m the same too, but remember this time is going to be different and at the end of the day even if you re grumpy your family gets you. I hope you re alreayd feeling better hun, just put everything into perspective if you can...you ve done it perfectly once you ll do t perfectly again.

Jimmy- your time out sounds relaxing babe, good for you! Just picture that probably pretty soon you ll be enjoying more and more time at home! I m actually pretty sure your docs are going to relax once you hit 30 weeks so that s not so far away ay? Anyway hope you rr doing good hun!

Liven- although i m not 100% about it i doubt the stitch can hold liquids in so i doubt it would stip blood from coming out. I would call my doc though hun just to put your mind to rest.

BF- girl, we re all worried, where are you?

 

[lizziedripping]

Hi ladies, how is everyone?

Kate, your 'wet' feeling is probably your body gearing up for labour. It could be days or weeks, there really is no way of knowing. I have a feeling though that things won't drag on for you once the stitch is out. Hope you're ok, and feeling a bit more positive? We all have the 'oh no, another newborn - how will I cope' moments, especially when you have just got some semblance of a life back after the last baby. It's normal, takes a while to adjust but oddly falls into place when lo arrives.

Somehow having suffered a traumatic pregnancy only serves to make the feeling more intense because you aren't 'allowed' to express it openly like every other expectant Mum. You are supposed to be so grateful to have got safely to term that all these normal fears and anxieties are supposed not to exist for us. Of course they do, and probably more so. The shock of the previous few months leaves you so drained you fel even less able to cope with what lies ahead.

Trust me tho Hun, you're gonna be fine and your new baby will fit right in. I am awful when sleep deprived, and spend much of the first few months grumping and snapping my way through. Everyone adapts, and politely overlooks my mood - it is after all only temporary and our family is strong enough to take it.................I hope lol. You might even be surprised by how easy it all is second time around.

JJ - you and the poly holding up ok?

Christiana, you still ok sweet?

Bf darlin, so so worried now Thoughts are with you every day my love

Liven, Olga, MA, Helen and everyone else, past and present - hope you're all doing fine xxx

 

[JimmyJam]

Hi Everyone,

Hope you're all doing ok. O Lizzie, I am worried about BF too. I think about her a lot & just hope she's ok. It's been ages since we heard anything. BF if you're lurking just let us know you're alright.

I'm alright. Gigantic now & defo gearing up for another amnioreduction this week. I went home for a few hours on Sunday, whih was lovely, but I cried all the way back to the hospital. I am so sick of this now, I just want to go home for good. The amnio is such a horrid procedure, I'm dreading it.

Other than that no news. Worried the weight of extra luid will be impacting on cervix but guess I'll find out in Clinic tmrw.

Have started watching Downtown Abbey. Haven't seen it before & have whole back catalogue. That should keep me happy ...

Keen to hear all yr news ladies, check in soon

Lots of Love,

JJ xxxx

 

[lizziedripping]

Hi JJ - I just looked back at BFs last post, and she talk about cervix pinching and gas pains - all of which had taken her to checked out at A&E that day. I do hope it wasn't anything sinister for her - I had similar aches and pains with the twins, but it never amounted to anything. I almost daren't even say the words out loud, but I do hope I'm wrong for even thinking it Not sure what to think, but I'm feeling more concerned by the day.

Glad you checked in Hun, all has gone mysteriously quiet here, I felt like I was wandering through a ghost town earlier. Now even wondering if Kate might have gone into labour - particularly because lo was engaged and she had the excessive discharge - again Kate, hope you're ok.

I'll have fingers crossed for you tomorrow JJ. Is your poly feeling as uncomfortable as it did originally? Take into account that lo is also bigger now, so will add to the feeling of bloating. At nearly 27wks(?) you really do begin to feel big and the expansion is fairly rapid. Sending love and hugs for tomorrow, and hoping the experience isn't too bad

 

[kateqpr]

Hey everyone!!

Lizzie - i'm still here. No sign of baby, but stitch out in less than a week so operation escape will start in earnest next week. Last time, i had reflexology and sex in the same day - waters broke that night. Probably a fluke, but may give that formula another try if i can be bothered to coerce my mass body into sexy mode. So unlikely! I have been getting lots of period type cramps and bad lower back pain, which is where i felt contractions last time, but i suspect it's all wishful thinking on mine part that it might mean something.

Oh, and thanks for your words on dealing with a new born and other sibling. I know you're right, it will all be okay. Horribly tiring for the first three months or so, but then things get into a rhythm and hopefully the sleep deprivation will begin to ease slightly. I guess i've forgotten in all this, that i will also be in love and obsessed with the new baby. I think i've just been worrying about the down sides, and forgetting all the wonderful squidgy warm feelings you have too. And i'm already grumpy through lack of sleep now, so not such a big shock to the system this time!

JJ - i was thinking of you on Sunday! Spent the day in my parents garden in Chiswick making petal perfume with Poppy (it stinks...) and hoped you were feeling the same warm sun on your skin. So lovely. You cant help but have glimmers of hope when Spring sun starts to shine.

It so amazing that you've made it this far without another amnio, so obviously it works well on your body. Is it three weeks now? Brilliant. If you can just get through one procedure ( I know it's horrible, but at least this time you know what to expect), then hopefully that would take you up to the 30 week mark, which is just unimaginably fantastic. Are they still talking about giving you a c section early? I know they mentioned 26 week before, but i'm guessing the goal posts are constantly moving. You're nearly at 28 weeks, and i promise you will start to feel better.

Also, i was starting to feel very uncomfortable at 27 weeks, strong kicks, big belly, aching back etc. I feel for you, with the extra poly weight to carry. But try not to panic if you do feel massive - unfortunately, as Lizzie says, you're getting to the bloody uncomfortable stage now anyway. Just try and relax into it. I'm awful for feeling slightly panicky and trapped by how uncomfortable i feel. Unable to reach the floor, see my girl bits, put on shoes or knickers unassisted....my floor is awash with things i can't be bothered to try and pick up anymore!

Christiana - i hope you're okay honey! Nearly 28 weeks!

Liv - hoping any bits of red discharge are now gone. These things tend to settle themselves, even though we worry so much at the time.

Bookfish - am thinking of you and hoping you're okay and just lost your internet connection, or something silly like that. You've not logged on since the 4th, so hoping that's the reason why xxx

Hope everyone else is okay. I am off now to plough my way through my latest creation - blueberry & almond tart. Piglet!!!

[chistiana]

Hello everyone! I was typing answers over and over again yesterday like a good old addict and everytime they would just nOt upload!it was sooooo annoying i finally gave up at midnight!!

Jimmy- well i know it s no consolation but at least it lasted 3 weeks (the amnioreduction) so even of you have to have another one this week you ll be at least 30w next time (if not more) so that s really good. Glad you had some time off and as i said before hopefully you ll be able to spend more and more time at home really soon!!

Lizzie- i m ok hun, how are you doing? Can i ask you an irrelevant (and the a relevant!) question?...did you do cloth diapering with your babies? I am considerating it but i m very scared to try it!

Kate-ok i have to comment, it seems that everytime you re off to make some delicious treat....i want in on some of that!!!!and...you had sex one night before birth....MY HERO!!!

Question now re this pg: i was on the coutch yesterday and my lo was playing next to me...he accidentally kicked me really hard on my bump and even though i be felt my baby move since then i have this bruised kind of pain all over. Could something be wrong? I called the doc and he said to monitor contractions, leaking fluid and bleeding but i ve only had one painful contraction since, nothing else. Should i be more worried? Had it even happened to any of you ladies??

Hope EVERYONE is still doing ok, thinking of everyone!
