fitzierara - Monday, 22 September
hope your well, I have just read your profile I am having poblems with my cervix too its so scary..


babyl - Saturday, 13 September
Sorry for your losses. Congrats on your pregnancy. I have Hughes syndrome ( sticky blood) so the baby is losing oxygen due to blood clots so I take two Heparin shots a day. I did take Prometrium ( progesterone suppositories 3 times a day until week 13. Your daughter is beautiful. I am also on a high risk prenatal vitamin called Neevo. Everything is going well. We rented a heartbeat doppler and I listen to it every other day. The heartbeat is usually around 150-155. Good luck and I will be thinking of you and your family during this exciting time. Take care.


choppork5426 - Friday, 5 September

PregnantPrincess09 - Friday, 29 August

Hey lady! How are things going? Any verdict on the cerclage? Still on BR?


themommyofangels - Wednesday, 27 August
 AWWW. Y WAS SHE BORN EARLY?


rahomsw - Friday, 22 August
Hey there!! How are you?! As soon as my hubby gets home from the store, I'm getting my first shot and I sure hope you are right about the contractions stopping!!! It was SOOOO funny. We ended up going to Home Depot at the same time - he for work, me for home stuff. Anyways, this guy in line behind me was like...so you're drinking water for two. I said "no, for 3 and that guy who just passed you with that big cart of stuff did it to me." The guy started cracking up!!


dananbaby07 - Friday, 22 August
aw, im really sorry to hear u r on bedrest. Especially with already having a little one, im sure that is so hard! I hope everything gets btr for u!!!!! Your belly is to cute. Anyway, im good. We find out what we are having on sept 3! hopin for a girl, so well see! lol.


dananbaby07 - Friday, 22 August
 awww, so round and cute! how are u? i left u couple comments, nothin back! let me know how things r goin!


rahomsw - Thursday, 21 August
I'm not sure if I worded that correctly, but from what my doctor says, a lot of doctor's aren't doing cerclages anymore bc they have not necessarily been proven to prevent pre-term labor especially on people who are known to have pre-term contractions, like me. He said something about a cerclage can still open and contractions can make it do that. Basically, cerclages help to keep the cervix closed and a lot of people have had good success with them. I have no idea what to expect with them...... I'm so thankful to hear you haven't had any contractions since starting the shots. I hope I have the same luck!! Now if I can get over this back pain...which I just found out is not a UTI.


flavias1st - Thursday, 21 August
Hi! I like the pics you posted today, I am 15 weeks and am not showing at all... Hopefully this belly will pop up soon, I hope!


jessberr31 - Thursday, 21 August
Hey, go look on the "incompetent cervix" forum. There are ladies who have had cerclages done and what happened.............


jessberr31 - Thursday, 21 August
Heck no, I wish I did! All I know is my friend with the twins had one done, and it worked good, but thats it. I think there is someone in week 17/18 who has a cerclage. A couple actually. Cowgirlygirl knows a lot about that I think. I know bedrest is killing you, especially with a 1 year old! All for the best though, right?! I hope everything goes well at your u/s and you are all good and don't need one. It sucks you are going through so much! Oh, you might find some ladies that are going through the same thing in the other forums, like pre-term labor or something, check that out.


rahomsw - Thursday, 21 August
That's too funny about all of the people. My doc brought 3 residents plus the U/S tech with him to my U/S on Tuesday. I told him my IVF doc had 9 residents with him at my son's embryo transfer. He was funny..."said well ya that guy must be more popular than me!" They are friends. WHAT...they didn't get the paperwork for your cervical length?? Doesn't make sense. I'm a no as far as cerclages go at this point, unless something changes when I go back on Sept. 2nd. My cervical length was 30 mm until this week when it was 35 mm. My doc is really concerned that if I have contractions, it will bust the cerclage too early. I start Progesterone shots tomorrow and can't wait for that extra protection!! I still bet I'll only be working for a few weeks. I almost wish I didn't even have to start work until I'm 27 weeks...then at least I know the babies would have a good chance of survival. At this point...I'd almost rather stay home until 8 weeks after they are born...but then there's the money thing. AND I think I'll worry less when I'm working. UGHHHHH....are you having back pains?? My back was killing yesterday and now it's starting up again.


jessberr31 - Thursday, 21 August
Damn, I didn't know you were still bleeding. Well, thats good its slowing down though. Still on bedrest? Yeah, Melia is really pretty and it sounds good with your daughters name. Mayla & Melia, awwwwwwwwwww! So you find out if you have to get a cerclage in two weeks, huh? Well, whatever is best to keep her safe, right? My friend had one when she was pg with her twins. It kept them in until like 36 weeks, which I guess is good for twins.

I'm feeling good some days and horrible others. But it goes with the territory! I can't wait until this is over though. I'm ready to get back to myself, have my body back. This is it for me!

TTYL!


jessberr31 - Wednesday, 20 August
How have you been feeling? Have you decided on a name for your little girl already?! Melia? I was thinking of that myself for a girl, but I know someone with a Malia. I'm focusing more on boys names right now. But I just wanted to peek in on ya and see how your doing!


rahomsw - Tuesday, 19 August
Yeah...I have some friends who have had GREAT success with the shots!! I bet you can relate on this....I want to do everything possible to not have these babies before 32 weeks. My son had a TON of health problems, as I'm sure your daughter did. He had two heart surgeries within the first 10 months. I NEVER want to go through that again...though I'm realistic it MIGHT be a possibility. I went into pre-term labor with him at 29 weeks. They gave me the magnesium (UGH...that was terrible). He held off for 3 weeks and then my water broke at home.

The blood clots would have freaked me out.....if it makes you feel better I've been to the ER 3x's in the last month, once for spotting (a week ago). I am seeing a high risk doctor. Right now, I'm having ultrasounds every week while he considers whether or not to do the cerclage. Soooo....I'm assuming you are NOT getting one. Am I right?? Has your doctor mentioned anything about it or just the shots??
