Hi everyone

Welcome to the group Joselyn and congrats on your pg. I think I congratulated you in the TTC group too but another one won't hurt
I am an IC girl - we lost our son Luke in 2007 at 21 weeks after I painlessly dilated. Went into hospital after a bit of blood appeared & my waters broke not long after that. This pg I had a stitch put in at 14 wks & then had regular CL (cervical length) ultrasounds - 16 wks, 19 wks, & then 21 wks where my CL showed it had halved in length in less than 2 wks. I then had 3 wks in hospital on bedrest as a precaution, another u/s at 24 wks showed my CL had grown so I was allowed home on rest. CL u/s at 26 wks showed another increase, as did my last CL check at 28 wks. I have since had no more CL ultrasounds & get around pretty much as normal now. I didn't go back to work at all after my hospital admission & am now on mat leave.
Ummm, that is about it for my experiences this time around! Of course there has been a bundle of fear, uncertainties, and excitement along the way, as all these women have experienced. All I can recommend is setting yourself goals as you go. For me, in the early days it was the weekly ob appts, then the NT scan, then the stitch, then each u/s etc etc. Meeting each milestone was what I needed to get through as I couldn't bear to think too far ahead.
Anyway, any questions about the stitch operation or whatever, I am more than happy to share

Laney - I am so happy to read your latest update and see that your boy is growing so well. Such wonderful news

Tildy, Jude and Rozzie - not long now for you all...good to hear you are all taking it easy and it will be great to see all your announcements. And then I think I might be next?

Theresa - hope the m/s hasn't hit you and things are still going well.

Nothing new with me. Ob appt on Friday showed our little girl is still head down (yay!) and all is great with my BP etc. I see my ob again next week and then my stitch comes out in just over 3 weeks...
I had my baby shower on Sunday and it was great. My friends did a great job with the organising and I have LOTS of pink items. I got given some beautiful gifts and was pretty spoiled I think

Hope everyone has a good Friday and weekend.
