Great idea! I didn't even know this thread existed.. Hi Kim & Sarah

I think a few people know me around here but I will introduce myself anyway..

I have a congenital heart condition, so when I fell pregnant with my twins in 2008 I was immediately labelled as high risk.. My heart however was the least of my problems

In 2008 my beautiful 1st born twin sons were born at 24wks. I had an emergency cervical stitch placed after my 19wk scan showed my cervix had opened and was funnelling. Unfortunately though I still went into labour at 23wks, holding on til 24 when the boys were born. They both had brain hemorrhages at 8days old, and we made the heartbreaking decision to turn off their life support at 12 days old

Fast forward to now.. Pregnant after 2yrs of trying, this bub was conceived with clomid. I had a stitch placed at 14wks. Scan showed at 16wks everything was good, stitch in place and cervix still long and closed. Yesterday I had my 19wk scan and my cervix has opened BUT only to the stitch, so at this stage the stitch is doing it's job.. I didn't have an OB appointment yesterday, but the registrar I saw quickly, advised bed rest until I see the OB on Monday.. I have also been on progesterone pessaries since 16wks, but also been having mild braxton hicks contractions since then as well..

So, I am terrified. I am so scared of having another prem, but even more than that, so scared of losing this baby. I am trying not to get ahead of myself, but at this stage it does look like I will have a pre term bub. I also have placenta previa. It's completely covering the cervix..
