Yea i had the steroid shots at 27 weeks and stopped them due to having an allergic reaction with chest pains. Well my pessary seems to be keeping everything together - still 1-2 cm dilated last 4 weeks - next check up 27th Dec and 30 weeks yesterday! They said they will not removed pessary until 37 weeks!!! I think ill want it out at 35 as our baby is sooo chubby and doing well already - i think she is gonna be a big baby! She is nearly 4 pounds!! I hope everyone ele is doing ok - I am really worried about Babybulller - she has not been on here for over 2 weeks - im still praying for her as well as everyone else - so i hope she is ok....

yildirim-I thinks its because of the holidays, that's why the room is so empty. Congrats on getting to 29. Did you take the 2 steroid injections? I'm glad that you are being good on the bedrest, I pushed it, but I had the cerclage too. For you it's different. Few more weeks till you hold your little one. You must be so excited ISIS- so did you get the cerclage? How did it go? I had them put me under local because I was terrified of the epi. Hope you and baby are doing well

Is everyone OK?? Very quiet here.... Well i went for my check up yesterday - cervix has stayed the same and is still at 1-2cm dilated - and nothing has changed in last 3 weeks! So really pleased - that i went to the supermarket (promised myself just 10mins) Ended up on my feet for over an hour! Back to my bedrest until my Christmas dinner. Hope everyone is ok.

monika01- A loss with the TAC is not very common. It can happen though but a TAC pregnancy is so much easier with no bed rest. It is as close to having a regular pregnancy than we can get. There are Dr.s in Canada that do this procedure though. There are more Dr.s in the states but it is also offered in Canada. I was afraid before I had the TAC done too. But after I had it placed I had no problems what so ever. I didn't need to be on bed rest. I did take it easy though. I wish they would have offered it to me on my previous pregnancies so I would not of had so many losses but the past can't be changed now. The great thing about the TAC also is I never have to have another surgery to have a cerlcage placed ever again just to deliver the baby. We plan to use it again in 6 to 12 months.

they have now decided to give me an epidurle as apose to putting me to sleep. i am afraid. plus they delayed my stitch day to one more day. i just want that over with lol.

mymiracle-thanks. Your story is so touching, your baby girl really is a miracle. Monika-I still can't believe that you went so early. But we both have healthy little babies now, so all is well.

monika01 - 70 days ago.
THe TAC is a great option.. though my ob said the dr is in Californai and another one in new jersey... i decided that i will probably no tbe having another baby b/c i am too scared of having a loss with a tac.. though maybe .. honestly the only way.. it would be prvate b/c i am in Canada$. no drs here. the removal process of my cerclage was honestly.. horrific and i still cry when i remember it.. contractions were easy .. Beegee we were pg at the same time and it so funny we have completly diff. stories...lol... you were du befreo me and i had mine first..lol.. wow. so glad we have our LO now its so awesome !.

monika01 - 70 days ago.
I think it is really hard not to worry about your length and even more whne you have had a loss . After my loss of Annabella at 19.6 i was terrified when pg again... i was on FUll bed rest... from cerclage wk 13 to wk 28 when i startd to move around... no sitting now nothing bathroom and dr's was my only activiy... i even only took baths to not put pressure. my cervix was mostly around 2 though did go to 3.1 and down to 1.5 . i had Alanna at 34.4 wks and she was NICU for 2 wks jsu t to be able to eatt more .. she got tired fast.. she was 7.9 lbs .. if i was not on bed rewst it woundld have worked... i have IC misshaped C and short C... triple wammy...

Buggy- I would call ur doc. Someone will be able to help you. I am on the indo now to stop contractions. I don't know if it will affect you without contracting or not. There will be a Dr on call at your ob office to ask. Or you could even try to call a local hospital? Good luck, I am sure everything will be just fine! Don't stress to much about it, they wouldn't have prescribed the meds if they were harmful to you or your baby.

Beegee-I also followed your story. I am so glad you had your beautiful baby. I was letting the new ladies know that I had a successful rescue cerclage placed at 20 weeks and complete bedrest until I started dilating through my cerclage at 33 weeks. My daughter was born via c-section. She was in the NICU for 3 weeks and has done great. I fortunately was already seeing a peri due to having a LEEP 4 years ago. At my routine appt I told them I was feeling pressure and was down to 2.0 which isn't bad but was funneling and dilated to a 2. So I was a lucky one! I fortunately never experienced a loss and truthfully was told I could never have kids and I wnded up pregnant! I am glad I got my one child, I had a rroutine pap done about 6 months ago and my cells were turning cancerous so had a hysterectomy done 8/11. I knew if I was going to have anothe one I wanted to have the abdominal stitch placed but instead nature made the call for me not to have any more. I think of you all everyday and wish nothing but the best for everybody!

isisgrl13 - 74 days ago.
what kind of stitch did you have beegee? yes yet another question?lol

beegee - 74 days ago.
isis and yildrim- keep positive ladies.

beegee - 74 days ago.
mymiracle- I don't know what your story is. I looked at your profile, and there wasn't anything there either. Are you pregnant again?

beegee - 74 days ago.
babybuller-calm down. My cervix was 1.2 since week 22ish, and funneled right down to the cerclage. I was on bedrest, but after 28wks, I pushed it a lot more. Layer a paver walk way, helping to build my deck. But I took it easy on other days, and lots of breaks. My cervix was half of what yours is right now, nd I eneded up holding my beautiful baby girl. You will too

mymiracle1 - 75 days ago.
the darn comment box is annoying! As for me being on bedrest alot depended on my job. I worked with animals so alot of lifting, standing, and well wrestling at times. So my doc said 'no way' to me working. It madde it quite hard on the budget but was worth it in the end. I also had some BP issues which also contributed. Good thing was it was dead summer around here so I wasn't missing the 105 degree weather and humidity in Missouri! If you all ever need some one to chat with, please let me know. I think my post was deleted about my story and I recovered all my info! Thinking of you all!

isisgrl13 - 75 days ago.
ty i need evey good story i can find. i pray i can have tow babies but one right now is my goal. i have noticed that some ppl have bed rest and others not at all i wonder what differs from both? would be nice to enjoy and prepare for christmas but i cant they say. sorry if this is all weird the silly window in which to type is frigge up yet again. hugs

yildirim - 75 days ago.
wow what a great positive story - im sure it gives us all hope when we hear a success story. Glad your daughter is doing well after arriving premature. But sorry to hear the sad news of having to have a hysterectomy - at least you managed to have you daughter first :o)

Just came back from local nurse/doctors - they said her heart beat is 135 beats per min - apparently normally.... so i hope everything is ok ....

yildirim - 76 days ago.
Babybuller dont panic - that isnt too bad and you have that cerclage holding everything there too. Dont forget the length can go up and down all the time - or can stay like that. What did the high risk doctor suggest or say? Well i feel really worried today - since i left that terrible hospital on monday - i have had hardly any movements - normally she kicks punches and has hiccups all throughout the day! But last few days - hardly anything... Im going to local doctor to see if they can listen to heartbeat - if not i will go to my normal doctor for an ultrasound.

isisgrl13 - 76 days ago.
see my doc today. stitch day thursday!! pray for us as i pray for you all. dont have much to say lol. its gonna work out damn it! hugs. i wish my doc was more positive but i guess hes for real more so. hummmmmm. life?

babybuller - 76 days ago.
Well just got back from my high risk doctor my cervix went from 2.4- 2.1cm. My doctor is really concerned now. I am so scared.

benz824 - 76 days ago.
Thank you so much! They added another medication to stop contractions and trended my bed (angled down with feet higher than head). If there is a next time I will immediately get the abdominal. It's great to hear its more successful.
