Thanks all for answering

Crumpet: Where did you go? Did you get knocked out or have an epidural? Were you in hosp overnight? Did you bleed at all? How are you now? Can you feel it at all? And pain?
I will be 14 weeks next Tueday when I get it done. I am getting it done at the Mercy Hospital with the OB who delievered my last baby that didnt survive so she knows my past. I am scared of getting an infection or anything going wrong. I wanted to be knocked out but yesterday she told me it was best to get en epidural, which I am not that happy about.
i had my stitch done at northpark private in bundoora.....

i had mine done with a spinal block and light sedation, and spend most of it asleep coz i take to sedation well!!
i stayed in hospital overnight was meant to be 2 but i was really over being in there and just wanted to go home, my OB agreed to it so they let me go early.
yep i had some mild bleeding, was prob about the same as the first day of ur period, and then i spotted for probably 4 days, only noticed it when i wiped though.
im doing really well now, have just had a scan today and it looks like the stitch is in a great spot so i cant complain!!!
its great u know who will be doing it for you, it will make u feel more at ease.

if i didnt have the op i wouldnt know the stitch was there, i was a bit achy for a few days afterwards and occasionally i get a bit heavy but thats pretty normal.

are they going to put u on antibiotics???
for the 5 nights before my stitch my OB put me on a antibiotic cream that i had to insert and then i had IV antibiotics in hospital for 24hrs and then i was on tablets till yesterday, I was also put on nifedipine to help stop contractions or anythign like that happening.

just check with ur OB when u go in about the antibiotics and im sure they will give u some.

my OB was worried about infection as well, because not only did i have incompetant cervix last pregnancy i scored a major infection so we had to work hard to comabt it just incase....

i delivered at the mercy in jan, at 22weeks, and the staff were amazing!! u will be in good hands hun!
