| Hey Ebony hows those little ones going. hope all is well with the 3 of you Deb | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hi kim! I'm Vero (RSA). I've read ur story n it gives me courage n it also inspires me. I had 2 miscarrages previously, one at 7months(2006),then the gynae doc diagnosed me with uterus incompetent. The other one was at 5months(2008) of which i had a shrodkar stitch and my membrane raptured. I really don't understand whether the doctor was neglegent coz he wanted 2 make money according 2 what he said or what? Coz i contacted the other gynae doc like him then he told me that i was suppose 2 be taking antibiotics after the stitch was put till i go on delivery.: To help with fighting the infections and bacterias. And he spoke about also to strengthen the membrane to avoid rapturing of the membrane.Right now i'm 12w and i had a macdonald stitch 2 days ago. May i ask if u were give any antibiotics after it was done until u deliver at 33w? My doctor told me that i will deliver at 34w. Plz help me my dear! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I lost my daughter in Febuary 2007 at 24 and a half weeks, that is when the doctors decided i was suffering from ic.IT is the hardest thing to have to walk out of the hospital knowing your not taking your baby home.I have got a carer for my mother and my partner is helping alot more around the house and with my two other children,so i can get more rest time know. I am willing to try anything to save these little bundles of joy i have growing inside me. I am keeping positive and cant wait for the day i walk out of hospital with my arms full. chat again soon.

| hai ebony I joined this link October 2007 after I lost my daughter to ic in 22weeks. The confidence that the people in this link gave me has helped me to become the mother of a beautiful boy. My son was born in 37 weeks and weighed 7 pounds. Ic can be beaten so hang on. When u get tired of bed rest just think of the happiness ur going to get for the rest of ur life because of this 9 mths of adjustment. When u hold ur baby I assure u, it will be definitely worth all the trouble. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hi Deb i have two children aged 10 and 11.I still have a fare bit of cramping so i have made a doctors app today,i'll let you know how i go.Up untill now i have had no one to talk to about my ci problem,i was starting to feel as though i am the only one who has suffered so much.The doctors haven't said anything about taking it easy or that i might end up on full bed rest.I live in Geelong also, I have to go to my app now. Bye Ebony | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Ebony Im 45 and we lost 7 pregnancies 8 babies we now have 2 adopted boys and 2 biological boys eldest is 13 youngest 3. we did not loose them all to ci only 1 and the 2 boys l had the stitch in for. l hope your cramping has settled. l had no-one to talk to about my fears and my grief, l had to work through it myself and my husband so you feel free to talk to me anytime you want. l hope if anything comes out of the years of pain we went through its that we l can help others to cope with what there going through. l'm not shy about any of it feel free to ask any question and l'll answer the best l can. Where in vic do you live l'm in Geelong. My friends say l should right a book about fertility treatments miscarriages cervical incompetence depression and adoptiion. Life can throw alot at you.Has the doctor told you that you will probably end up on full rest later especially carrying twins. Hope to hear from you soon and that all is going well Deb |

| hi to all of you, it was great to come across this chat site and read everyone else's stories, this is my first pregnancy so dont really know alot about anything but hearing that other people have been through similar things is a great comfort. im currently 27 weeks pregnant with idnetical twins and so have been getting weekly scans and lots of care, but the docs have discovered that my cervix is now only 4mm and so are going to put in a suture. does anyone know much about the risks? is there anyway that you cervix can lengthen? as 4mm seems really short compared to everyone else! or is it only going to get shorter now? any info anybody has would be great. best of luck to anyone that is going through the same thing, my thoughts are with you x | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Ebony. First thing is to have plenty of rest and put those feet up, you need to keep the pressure off the stitch for a while. l did have bit of cramping after the proceedure.But some cramping is not that unusual at the beginning of a pregnancy when the uterus is moving. The important thing is if you have any doubts or fears call your doctor, thats what they are there for. Its your pregnancy and you have the right to feel confident about it. Bug the hell out of your Doc if you want, thats what there there for. Have you peviously lost a baby to CI or did your Doc notice a shortening of the cervix. Where do you live l'm in Vic you can email me directly if you want to talk l remember how scary it was and luckily l had a good doc who let me come see him at the drop of the hat.Hope all goes well with all three of you.

| Hi Debbie my name is Ebony and i am 15 weeks pregnant with twins,i had a servical stitch put in on thursday 27/11. this is the first time i have had one of these put in and i am unsure of what to expect.I have been suffering with alot of cramping pains is this normal after the procedure? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi ladies! Just wanted to share that I'm going through this right now, with the best outlook from my doctors. My cervical incompetence was detected at 19w5d on my ultrasound. It has been a long week on bedrest, but my doctors have told me repeatedly how lucky I am. (not to rub it in, I'm sorry). I received 2 stitches in my 1.5cm cervix that was already tunnelling. It was almost missed however, so PLEASE be sure to get it measured with every ultrasound. I would have lost this baby if I hadn't asked her to check! |

| hi Jane We lost our gaughter at 16 weeks and tried again.I also had difficulty conceiving which made tring again a hard decision. We had a great daoctor who placed a servical stitch and l went on to have 2 pregnancies both successful. l knoy how hard it is and what you must be feeling. If you need someone to talk to email me or l'll give you my phone number. what state do you live in. All the luck in the world with your decision Debbie |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The only thing more scarey than trying for another baby is not trying believe me. l lost seven pregnancies. 6 were during fertility treatments for PCOS and went on to adopt 2 children only to fall pregnant out of the blue and loose her to CI. l had to make the decision to try again best decision l ever made.l had hard pregnancies but managed to have 2 successful ones with the stitch. l am the mother of 4 boys and although l will never forget the pain of loosing my children, l will never forget the joy of looking into the faces of my newborn sons. To all you ladies out there hang in there it may not feel it now but its worth it all in the end. Good luck to you all. Debbie |

| Hi, 2 yrs ago I went into labour with my daughter at 32 weeks, she was fine but I was at odds as to why I went into labour so early. a year after I was 20 weeks pregnant when i lost my son. I found out that I had an IC, I am so scared to try for another baby because I cant go through that again, is it possible I will be able to? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| wow, just found this thread. I am currebtly lying in hospital at 21 weeks. I came in 1 week ago for a stitch due to cervix being 1.4 the op went bad and no stitch could be placed and also my waters broke. Doc said I would go into labour and it wuld be all over. Well no labour etc and we are fighting to get out little girl to 30 weeks. in 4 weeks we can start helpng with drugs etc. This has to be the wrost time of our lives. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hello, i lost my first son Mason, 1 week ago at 18 weeks due to ic, a condition i'd heard of but didn't think would happen to me especially after all we went through to concieve. I have poly cystic ovaries and endometriosis, so losing him has been the hardest and most testing time of my life, after going through A.I. I am totally suprised how much ic has affected sooo many people, and am grateful to hear of the success stories that have been posted, it gives me and my husband hope for the future, thanks for sharing your stories it is truly helping us through this most difficult time in our life. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
