wooo hooo for 12 weeks, it is a fabulous milestone!! for a short cervix but great that the stitch will be going in soon, when mine was 2.2cm my OB said between 12-14 weeks, but after my MC finished it relengthened again, so we are going with the fortnightly scans, and hopefully we can keep it above 2.5cm, as I am nervous about getting a stitch done so late.

I have added in IC at the top of the page and also what all the acronyms mean, SPD means Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction, my physio referred to it as Pelvic Instability, I just found this description of it:

The two halves of your pelvis are connected at the front by a stiff joint called the symphysis pubis. This joint is strengthened by a dense network of tough, flexible tissues, called ligaments. To help your baby pass through your pelvis as easily as possible, your body produces a hormone called relaxin, which softens the ligaments. As a result, these joints move more during and just after pregnancy (Kristiansson 1997; Bjorkland et al 1999; Bjorkland et al 2000), causing inflammation and pain, known as symphysis pubis dysfunction or SPD.

In other words it hurts, I had it worse with DD, this time I have only had to wear the belt a couple of times, which holds everything together better
thanks hun, it was a bit exciting!!!!

when i was preg with Gus we were on fortnightly scans, then i had my 20w one all look ok, as it can with a 2.5cm cervix then a week later the ***** hit the fan, my poor OB he was stunned i felt sorry for him... u coukd see how shocked he was when it happened so quick, hence his reason to go straght for a stitch this time


oh yep i have herd of that..... i had a fewe issues with my hips with Gus and my osteo thought i might have been heading down that path but nothing seemed to happen....
it sounds sooo painful! i hope it doesnt get to bad for u girls, just what u need one more big ache!
