let me know how she does .. she gets hers out first.. i will get a heads up...lol... i am hoping to god she come out... she juist keeps dropping i didnt think thre was more to drop but my vag is now slowly disappearingand my bbs no longer rest at all on my tummy... gonna need a bra soon..lol... is she more then 1 cm dialated? all those techniques to indue labour only speak of softening the cervix.. well i dont have on e really so... i will try stairs and going for a longer walk one its out if she dosent make her appearnce right away.

I have a friend on another forum wondering the same thing, her stitch is coming out this week but she has been completely dialated to the stitch since 26 weeks, all she has is less than a cm left below the stitch!

Hope all you ladies are doing great, can't wait for all the full term babies to their appearance soon, we are expecting a couple :) afm, I'll be 30 weeks on Sat and despite cheating on bedrest had my longest length since placement of 5 cm! My base length was 7 and at placement was 2.1 so its amazing to me to be moving around and still have an amazing length. Happy Baking ladies!

monika- I felt terrible burning with my cerclage. Every step I took killed me. After the cercalge was taken out it got better. Didn't go away totally, but it did get better.

it could be the baby causing pressure my vag appears to be swollen... so does the rest of me. ALso my left foot is more swollen then right... i wonder if maybe baby is on a nerve or something...... any ides on how i can get baby out faster... i heard sex .. b/c sperm softens cervix.. spicy food i am sure wont work as i eat loads of it a lot of the time... maybe a awarm lavender bath??? trying to figure it out as i get my stich out in 2 wks and i want her out shortly after.. i figure 36 wks is fine since she is 99 %

Monika, I dont remember feeling that with my cerclage but it may be normal with the baby putting more pressure on the cervix. To be safe get it checked out ASAP. Good luck and be positive your so far along already if baby comes a little early all will be great! Keep us posted. Big hug

i have been having some intense burnign around my abia and inside it feels like it Hurts really bad .. i have cried a few times...also when i try to get up and open y legs a little wide it feels like i m bout to tear....is this normal???? should i go to L and D?

jellybeann - 201 days ago.
Monika, I feel lots of pressure too. The nausea is also back and the heartburn is terrible. I feel like the baby is kicking my stomach and the acid reflux is unbearable. Jessa, that's an awesome measurement at 31 weeks. I stopped getting cl u/s at around 28 weeks but I'm so curious as to want the length is now. Keep up the good work your almost there. :)

Lol sorry ladies my message cut off. Monika & Beegee I'm so excited we are all days away from meeting our little miracle babies. Pregnancy is such an emotional rollercoaster for us all and I'm glad to start the next chapter of our life. My dd is so happy that baby is almost here.. she kisses my belly and says 'I love my brother' melts my heart everytime. I'll miss u all but I hope we stay in touch after babies come. Big hugs

Thanks jellybean. Monika- Haha bite your tongue! Still nothing on my end, boo. Tried bding last night which is a huge thing because my fiance jacked up his back about 2 wks ago. I was in pain last night thinking, ok, maybe this is it. Woke up this morning feeling perfectly fine I'm going to take my dog on a long walk this morning, maybe that will help push things along.

monika01 - 202 days ago.

monika01 - 203 days ago.
beegee~ i laugh b/ci remember when both you and i were so damn worried about thee babies falling out to soon.. now your really due and i am 33 wks and counting.. my lil one has moved up ... yup up.. shes head down but she was lower at 30 wks then now... i get a u/s on the 8th to determine size since i measure t 38 wks... my ob said last wk of august... most ikley no mater what if she is in the 99 % still.. which i guess she is since she had been since wk 13.

Beegee - 203 days ago.
Precious- you'll get there. And then you're going to be in my shoes saying, 'wtf, I have ic, they took out the stitch, and 2 wks later I'm still only 1cm dilated!' So now I'm trying to push things along, but man, this kid is stubborn!

I am so excited to see that all of you are doing well. I am still holding strong with the assistance of medications for labor delay and progesterone shots. If I can hang in there we get to start steroids for the baby and I am super excited to hopefully reach that point of 24 weeks and longer. Keeping my fingers crossed and doing what I can to stay pregnant. Thank you to all of you that have responded and best wished to all of you.

Had my last cervical scan today; it was 2.9 cm and I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow. I'm so thrilled! I think this bun is going to stay in the oven afterall. I've had two really easy deliveries with preemies; hmmmm.....wonder what it could be like to deliver a baby that is closer to term. We shall see. Hope everyone is feeling well.

mccoy- I had the same issue, but my dr said that sometimes you need to push. He also said that I could take Colace, there is a generic out there for it too, both aren't too expensive. My friend who is a maternity nurse swears by apple cider, then there is always the coffee to keep you regular. Good luck, but like I said, sometimes you just have to push through it

Also, hemriods... i use protofoam.. it works great.. i think preperation H is ok.. though should ask your dr i know protofoam is okay to put inside.. not sre about the other one.. but constipation an be caused by that and fixing that problem helps a million...

monika01 - 205 days ago.
mccoy~ i took actolose ( you get it at the pharasy.. no perscriptionneeded its behind the counter.. cheep like 20 $ and last for a few months... also take 2 table spns only)... also flax.. ground falx to be exct .. 2 tablespoon to 4 a day should help.. also fiber bars help they are yummy .. i like the choclate chip one :O) Good luck!!

Hay girls. This may be a bit tmi, but have ya'll had any problems with constipation? It kinda scares me to use 'those' muscles because of the weak cervix. They say the muscles you use to go #2 are the same you use to push with. Just a bit nervous. Have been drinking prune juice and lots of water. Also upped my fiber intake but it doesn't seem to help much.
