Just popping in to say a quick hello and have a huge vent. Sorry for lack of perssies but will try to catch up soon, promise. I have 3 more weeks til this event is over (without one day off!) and can then take some time for myself.
Few things first:
Chez, welcome to our wonderful thread but I really wish you didn't have to find yourself here. I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Ryan.
Nae, so very happy for you sweets. What wonderful news. Sebastian was due on the 13th November, and this one is due on the 11th.
Jo, wow can't believe how ready to pop you almost are! Am with you all the way.
AFM, I met my new OB on Friday and he is so very lovely. He is a high risk OB and his office is right across the hall from my old OB so it was quite hard going back there and it stirred up loads of emotions and memories. Anway, I was talking to my new OB about my history and he got out my old file and had a read and concluded that I don't have an incompetent cervix, and truly believes an infection caused me to go into premature labour that anitibiotics could have fixed!! I told him my old OB said the infection I had came on when my waters broke but he disagreed and said the infection seemed to have started at about 14 weeks and basically nothing was done about it (which was when I first started complaining of pain with the old OB so it makes sense). I can't believe it.... I cried and cried so much in his office when he revealed all this stuff. To think a course of antibiotics could have saved Sebastian and all the while my old OB was telling me it was my cervix. What an absolute butcher. I am seriously considering legal action atm.
Anyway, so for this pg, he wants me on antibiotics from 10 weeks (5 tablets a month) and 1 progesterone pessarie until 34 weeks (new study has found it helps with PROM). He said I won't need to have a stitch and will monitor me every week - he must have seen the look of horror on my face but said if I was set on getting it, then he would. I have until I'm 14 weeks to decide.
Really not sure what to do. I want to put all my faith in this new OB but I'm scared. I put all my faith in my old OB and look where it got me...
To stitch or not to stitch... that is the question. Any advice?
big big hugs to all
