RB - 23+5wks for a stitch.. I would have been terrified.. I wonder if any 'emergency' stitches late in pregnancy have worked.. Mine didn't and I was 19wks. I still went into labour though.. Maybe if I hadn't started contractiong I would have lasted longer?
I was terrified!! There were so many risks involved with doing it that late but the head OB said that they could not do nothing as they could not risk it.
I think they were also trying to cover the other OB's butt who should have stitched back at 14 weeks (grrr but that is another post)
I went into labour the night that I got the stitch and I was stuck on complete bedrest (no getting up for toilet anything) and the bed tilted backwards.
Fortunately they stopped it and I at least got all my steroids in.
It does seem that later stitches are no were near as successful as earlier ones.
