Great to hear it went well Helen - like you said, at least you know now that you have done everything you can to try and help this pg.
I was sick after the GA too but I'm not sure if it was the GA or the morphine that set me off as I had had a GA with my D&C in May and was fine. At least it doesn't last long hey?!
Did you get told anything about swimming and bathing by any chance (as in, being allowed or not)?
I too was given no antibiotics after & have had no swabs and all has been fine.
Good luck at your checkup
He didn't say anything about swimming or baths, but I had asked my GP, when we confirmed the preg and she just said it is a very low risk, but still a risk so just avoid it, so I am! Maybe you are right it could have been the morphine, as I have had GA before and never had a problem.
Im 16wks pregnant. Ive have sufferd two late miscarriages 21wks and 25wks.
I have been messed around since the beginning of this pregnancy and they have now said i need the suture stitch. Im soooo scared its un-real, i cant lose another child it will push me over the edge.
My 7yr old son is my rock and ive kept it together for him. My fiancce does his best but men just dont understand as well as another woman.
I feel sooo alone and scared about having this done.
Can neone shed ne light on this for me plzzzzzzzzz
Vicki, I am so sorry you have to find us here, and to have suffered two lost babies is undescribable. How far are you with this pregnancy? I had the stitch put in at 13+wks and don't regret it for an instant. We were not sure whether the infection caused our baby's early arrival or if I had IC. I am happy to say I will be 37 wks tomorrow, and have not had any significant shortening this pregnancy. You need to make sure you have Drs/OBs that take you VERY seriously and monitor you closely. I had monthly US to check on the stitch but they would have been weekly/fortnightly if I had chosen not too, at least in the danger period.
Good luck I really hope this little one makes it safely into your arms.
I am so sorry to read of your losses; how truly heartbreaking to have to lose 2 children.
I just wanted to let you know that the cervical stitch was the best thing I did and you can see in my signature that I am a success story
If you read this thread from the beginning, my story ended at about 19 weeks with my previous post, so to complete the story my u/s at 21 weeks showed my cervix had shortened quite dramatically so I was put in hospital on bedrest for 3 weeks and then had to rest at home. I had regular u/s up until 28 weeks which showed everything was stable and I was basically able to live a normal life from about 30 weeks.
At 38 weeks I went in to have the stitch removed and after some drama with that, was induced and delivered our princess with no problems.
I hope my story helps somewhat - 16w is still a great early stage to have the stitch placed and with regular u/s hopefully they can catch any problems early and you will go on to bring your baby home.
Good luck x
ps. Helen - I can't believe you are 37 weeks already!!
I am so torn. I think its because I have just entered 2nd tri and have some anxieties. I am seeing a specialist every week who is keeping a close eye on things and so far no problems to mention. I am also going to ask about a certain swab test that a girl had in another thread for a particular infection.
That being said part of me is starting to wonder if I should have a stitch - my Ob doesn't think I need one but the instant something changes he will put one in. I think its just my fears rather than "instinct" it is such a tricky time emotionally as I have Niki's first birthday just 9 days away.
I think I will bring it up with my Ob again in 2 weeks.
Thankyou sooo much for seein and replying to my post.
I have felt soo much more confident since reading your success stories. Im goin into hospital on Wednesday 20th so fingers crossed and if there is someone up there hope he smiles down on me with my babies by his side giving me their blessings.
