Hi everyone..has been great to read others who are dealing with or dealt with what I am going though..I really need support as sitting here at home all day is so emotional..not to mention not having friends and family around makes it all the worse..but hubby and sister is here and they are very ssupportive.
I went in for my normal scan at 21 wks. Everything was great until they said that my cervix looked to be a little open. A vaginal scan measured me to be at 15mm ( I think..was all so fuzzy around that time)
I was sent to emergency surgery to have a stitch put in the next morning...
Doctor said it went well and I could go on as normal just take it easy..he also gave us the okay to go on our planned holiday...a 5 day cruise. I had a look at my white notes and it said cervix funneling at 1.5cm and polply outside of cervix (he even drew a little picture
)
Everything seemed fine..was hard to go to the loo..due to the catheder I think...and also I had a bit of bleeding...called doctor and he assured me that it was because I have a polyp sitting on my cervix and it is aggrivated..said it should stop in a few days..I didnt have alot of pain but when I walked for too long or too fast I got really tired and had cramps..I then decided to only walk a little and have frequent naps or just lie downs..Doctor didnt say I needed bedrest but I felt like I might ahve been doing too much. The last two days of the holiday I felt great and just took it easy..walking around more and having a great time. I didnt think anything else..as the bleeding stopped and I was feeling fine..I also had started using the progestrone inserts every evening and was hoping that they were helping but wasnt sure what they were doing anyway.
When we returned home I felt very tired and didnt do much but the following day we went for a movie and dinner and thats when things started feeling weired..this was two days ago..
After the movie I felt cramps and called a friend (who is a GP) he said that I should be on bedrest or doing as little as possiable..and my doctor should have put me on atleast minimum bedrest for two weeks after stitch put in...
So since then I have been on the lounge with my legs up over two pillows..I have gotten up for as long as 15 mins or so..and to go to the loo or for a shower...
Im not sure if I have contractions becasue I dont know what that feels like but I do have these cramps that sort of come and go so I started recording them just in case they are actaully contractions. Yesterday they seemed to happen about every half hour and last about 5 mins. I had them in the morning for a few hours then again at night..so it wasnt all day long ..now today I have just a mild pain in my hips..but none of the abdomin cramps that I had yesterday..I dont know if it is because I am doing nothing and that is helping... The pains yesterday were quite painful..and we said if they went though the night or here again today we would go to hospital..The pains were in my abdomin and down below sort of..I also felt pressure down bellow in my whooha and bum area..but today I dont feel this..
I am also worried because baby is very very active..which I love but sometiems when she kicks/moves it hurts down below..I dont know if that means she is kicking my stitch..or if this is even a normal pregnancy symptom..It feels like she is kicking my whooha and the inside of my bum (sorry TMI)...but its sort of intense..its only when she really gets to moving and kicking..other times its sort of just intense feelings but not really pain sort of say.
Anyway sorry for the long post ..but just wanted to put my story and issues out there for anyone who could help me ...support ..or send me a message if you want..
Im so worried as the stitch was put in over a week ago..I am now 22w 3d...and hubby has just started showing signs of worries about loosing our baby girl. Ive been trying not to show my worry to be strong and i knwo he is doing the same..but its just really hard to keep it together this early on...We have our follow up on thursday which she will be 23 weeks.
ps hope my rambels make sense
