Isisgrl13- I am happy to have you on this site. Is this your first cerclage, and will you be put on bed rest also?

isisgrl13 - 84 days ago.

Kaylie24- I am not sure the difference in between short or incompetent cervix. In a future pregnancy I would think your doctor would do a preventative cerclage. Bed rest is something some doctors strongly believe in, and other doctors don't. You have to talk to your doctor about your circumstance and discuss your options with him to know for sure.

Brownie bite- I lost my son Aiden in November of 2009. I am 20.2 weeks now with my second pregnancy, had cerclage placed at 12.4 weeks and am doing great this time around. My cervix is staying at 2.4-2.5 cm throughout this pregnancy. Which is really reassuring. With an early cerclage and strict bed rest I think you will do great.

Monika01- congrats on the healthy baby girl. I was wondering how other moms with incompetent cervix felt about having more children. I always wanted to have a big family. Now after having ic and bed rest throughout my pregnancy I don't think I will do this again.

Beegee- congrats on the healthy baby! I was wondering if you were on bed rest? Also when did you deliver, did you make it full term.

Kaylie24 - 84 days ago.
I am so glad I found this forum...I delivered my son 8 months ago at 32 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Well the doctor said I have a 'short cervix', rather than incompetent...Is there any difference?? The research I have done does not have a very good distinction between the two.The doctor was unaware of my condition until 30 weeks when I was admitted to the hospital with significant bleeding. At that point it was too late for a cerclage. While my husband and I are not ready to start trying for baby #2 just yet I was wondering would my options would be... Is bedrest mandated when a cerclage is placed? This is something my husband and I would strongly have to consider as I contribute a great financial portion to our household? Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks! P.S. For any moms worried about delivering prematurely..my son is doing awesome and is such a joy to our lives :)

wow, it's nice to see all the others that have I.c doing soo good! Forthose of you have had an i.c and a erclage done before how long did you wait to ttc again ? it's going to be offically 4 weeks on wednesday since I deliered at 21 weeks. picked up my daughter's ashes today too :/ my docotr says at least 3 normal af, which he says to wait 6 moths. I do wanna wait and give my body some time. it was sooooo tramautic and hard! but I do want to know someday it will happen!

god luck ladies... i was on bed rest from wk 13 to 28 and modersate till 32.. i delivered my lil baby at 34.4 and they had to remove the cerclage b/c she would have torn through it. bed rest is hard but worth it... so worth it.. i took baths... though i have a large enough tub to be lying down almost float in it... i felt more pressure when sitting. i am probably not going to have more babies b/c of my tramatic removal and the long bed rest that would be longer next time... but i wish u all the best... watch v shows google as much as posible read... learn a language.. shop on amazon... i coloured alot printed lots on adult colouring pages painted a bit. and slept .. alot. best of luck to u all!!!

dmayla and dominique- whats up ladies?? Hey I'm so sorry I've been MIA. Let me tell you, I'm soooo in love. Well I'm finally at work again, at my normal job, so I can check the status of all my friends on her. I'm so excited to see some familiar names in here, and even more excited to be of any help to you ladies that are currently pregnant with IC. I too am one of the success stories with cerclage and progesterone injections after suffering a second trimester loss. Any questions, I'd be more than happy to help. Good luck to all of you!!! And I'm so jealous!!!

Yildirim- I am 20 weeks today, the farthest that I have made it in pregnancy so far! As for help I have lots of it. Right now I am staying at my parents house so I have help around the clock. My husband works away from home so my parents and younger sister feed me and keep my little refrigerator in my room stocked with snacks. For Christmas I will be 25 weeks, not sure if I will be able to participate are not. I am hoping I will. I kinda bummed, I don't have any doctors appointment this week, so outings for me.

yildirim - 87 days ago.
Exactly! And also making food etc the way you like it etc. But its such a small price to pay to keep our babies healthy - which is the most important thing. My Mum is coming to stay and help out from 13th Dec - really looking forward to that - as my poor husband is doing everything and his job at the same time! How are you managing with cooking cleaning etc? i hope you have someone to take care of everything too. Yea im also looking forward to getting dressed and visiting the doctor - its like a day out - with fresh air and to see the world! Well i think Baby showers are more of an American thing - as we dont really do them - But Christmas is coming up and its the same really isnt it with gifts and all! we have Christmas all planned - and im really looking forward to it - i will be 31 weeks Christmas day (i hope i get that far) - so i have decided i will actually sit (with my feet up) at the dinner table for Christmas dinner for 30 mins or so! i cant have Christmas dinner in bed or on the sofa...! Just fingers crossed and praying that i get that far - that would be the best Christmas gift.

babybuller - 87 days ago.
Yildirim- I know how you feel about the showering every other day. It makes us appreciate all of the little things in life so much more. I look forward to my doctors appointments to get dressed and get out of the house. What are you doing about your baby shower? I don't know what I am going to do about it, being on bed rest and all.

yildirim - 87 days ago.
Babybuller - not so good memories for today - but this time around you will be fine - your cerclage is holding everything and you are taking it easy and your little man is cooking! No i mean an actual shower! Because i have limited myself to 1 shower every 2 days so i really look forward to having one - these small things that i took for granted before are now luxuries to me now lol.

babybuller - 88 days ago.
Benz824- I hope your Dr. Appointment goes well. For the holidays this year I will not be able to go. I keep thinking that it will all be worth it in the end. Next year I will be there with my little man! This site has been helping me pass a lot of time. I have went back and read all of the posts on this site, it just reassures me seeing all of the success stories. Dominique23- my doctor will only allow me to take showers. He said that baths increase the chances of getting an infection. I really miss my baths. Well I hope conceiving will be quick and easy for you. Yildirim- congrats on making it to 26 weeks, I am so happy for you. Hopefully your glucose test goes well. Have a great day at your baby shower that is so exciting! Today I am 19.6 weeks, this is when I lost my son Aiden 2 years ago. It is hard but I am so thankful that I am still pregnant and I have a really good chance this time around.

yildirim - 88 days ago.
WELCOME Benz824 - Sorry to hear of your losses - but im sure your angels are watching down on you.......At least this time you have a cerlage and you are now 20 weeks! If your cervix sty at 2.2 that would be great :o))) Im now 26 weeks and been on bedrest since 23 ( you can read my story on my profile ) - its gets boring but i am keeping busy with internet and tv etc i also try to play online scrabble as my pregnant brain is useless! Babybuller - Yes internet still a bit unreliable today. i have Glucose test on wednesday - not looking forward to that! And today is ' Shower Day ' Yayyyy!!

dominique23 - 88 days ago.
babybuller- we are trying now, however i just ovulated and my husband is out of town working soo try next month, i have pcos and am still breastfeeding so could take some time although i am getting regular periods. You ladies do know you can take baths, i know some women think for some reason they cant, only true after your water breaks. that is what i looked forward to everyday my nice relaxing bath, also helped with all the braxtin hicks contractions relaxed me so they would stop. Some docs are against cerclages and say bedrest is all you need so that was the concern soo im hoping she isnt that way if so just find someone else!

benz824 - 88 days ago.
Babybuller- I've heard having a schedule helps. I will have to come up with one quickly. I go to my high risk Dr again Tuesday. I'm hoping I can still attend all of the holiday dinners coming soon if I promise to take it easy and keep my feet elevated. But...I'm not getting my hopes up. This site should keep me busy for the duration. :).

babybuller - 88 days ago.
Benz824- Sorry to hear about your losses. Our stories are really similar. I will be 20 wks Sunday and I have been on bed rest since 12 weeks when my cerclage was placed. My cervix is measuring 2.4 right now. The hardest part of this pregnancy is bed rest. The thing that passes my time the quickest is having a liitle schedule. In the morning I watch T.L.C. A baby story. Then I read until lunch time then I watch tv for a while. In the afternoon I look things up on the Internet. Later in the evening I watch movies until bedtime. Just by putting a little structure in my day seems to make my days go by quicker.

benz824 - 88 days ago.
Hi ladies! I am new to this but a friend has encouraged me to join! A little about my situation...I've lost 2 babies a daughter at 19 weeks 2 days and my son at 19.5. 5 years later we decided to try again. I had a cerclage placed at 12 weeks and I will be 20 weeks tomorrow! My cervix went from 4.1 to 2.2 so as of yesterday here I am, on bedrest! It is so encouraging to see that most of you have babies so close to term. :). What do you do to get through your day? I've seen a lot of internet solutions but anything else?

babybuller - 88 days ago.
Yildirim- my internet is what keeps me occupied all day, I don't know what I would do without it. I only sit in the shower because my high risk doctor said that I need to stay off my feet. I know warm water relaxes your muscles but I didn't know that is would cause you to contract. I hope your doctors appointments go well. Keep us updated!

yildirim - 89 days ago.
My internet has been down for 2 days - the worse thing that can happen when on bedrest!! Lol thank goodness its on again....Babybuller - Do you find it more comfortable to sit when showering? i feel like im putting more pressure than when i stand - i try not to be too long in there anyway - my husband panics as he heard the warm water makes the muscles relax and start to contract - this scares me - did you hear of this? So i have my next appointment tuesday to check rubber cerclage and to see length and then wednesday with my normal doctor - i hope its all good news - i dont think i can handle anymore bad news! Chelle7 - im sorry to hear of your loss last month - atleast the next time around you know, and can be prepared for a cerclage and to take it easy or bedrest.

babybuller - 89 days ago.
Chelle7- I am so sorry for you loss. Next time around I would definitely get a cerclage early and bed rest for the duration of the pregnancy.

babybuller - 89 days ago.
Dominique- hopefully your new doctor will do the cerclage for you. I don't see why they wouldn't. They called it a recovery cerclage because I was already 5cm dilated, I guess it would be considered the same thing as the emergency cerclage. How soon are you planning on trying again?
