Right that's it. I am definitely not creating the next thread as we seem to have a horrible thread creator/problem rate. Either physically or emotionally and I am not a MAYBIE anymore we are DEFINITELYS. You all are the strongest nicest and most supportive people I have ever met and I will not have one more woman feeling rubbish. We should be blooming and glowing not prolapsing and not Wong supported and not feeling like the loved and cherished baby-vessels that we are!

Although great advice from our resident vet

How U doing mum

They're keeping me in overnight. Gynaecologist said i probably have an incompetent cervix. But did say when she did an internal that she would normally expect to see a head as she thinks im going to miscarry.

Everything crossed for you Mum. Praying for you and the little one that things are ok.

Fingers crossed mumof2

Ladies I need you all to promise me that none of you will do any heaving lifting, I dont care if it is your own child or not or just a bag of shopping. I didn't respect the fact that I was pregnant and I may pay the price.

Oh mumof2 sending hugs, please don't beat yourself up- be kind to yourself!

I hope it works out for you!

Thinking of you & praying for you & your little one, mumof2. Just woke up & saw your posts. Please don't best yourself up- it's not your fault.

That should say beat not best!

mumof2 don't blame yourself for anything! Cut that out right now.
How are things this morning? I'm keeping everything crossed for you xxxx

Best wishes for little and mumof2.
I went to the hospital on Friday and found out that my waters didn't leak, but instead I have twin to twin transfusion syndrome and I am going to London today to have laser treatment.

Gosh Alyss. Hope everything is okay! Let us know how you get on in London. You feeling okay otherwise?
It's been such bad news on this thread lately not fair as we have such a brilliant bunch of women on here.

When gynaecologist checked my cervix she said it looked closed. I couldn't pass urine though so they kept me in as they think it may be a bladder prolapse so I have a catheter. Im not convinced though, I know my body and I dont feel confident that baby is ok. Going to have a scan later today they said.

Bloody hell mumof2 lots of love xx

Thinking of you mumof2 and your baby. Really hope you are wrong and its just the bladder and baby is ok. Stay strong

Thinking of you both and your little ones mumof2 and Alyss, and keeping fingers crossed for good news from you both today. xx

Mumof2 and Alyss, keeping everything crossed for you both.

Alyss and Mumoftwo good luck today. Good thoughts and prayers for you and the babies.

Oh Mumand Alyss. I hope you get well looked after in hospital and I've my fingers crossed for you too.

Braxton hicks has started today. I am so upset over that and also feel so selfish for feeling sorry for myself after what others have and are going through. The BH are so sore and I can barely function and look after the 2 girls here. 17 weeks. But i know i'm lucky if thats the worst of it.

Alyss and Mumof2 Good luck ladies we're with you x x

Hi everyone

Littlebairn so so sorry to hear your news. Imogen is a beautiful name. Your positivity throughout all of this has been inspiring. Thinking of you and your dh and little Imogen and sending hugs xxxxxxx

Mumof2 and alyss - fingers crossed for today, thinking of you both . Mumof2 please don't blame yourself these things just happen.

Oh my at twin to twin transfusion !! Have you had scan to check growth Alyss?

mumof2, what rotten luck. I really hope they can sort you out quickly and have you back to your normal (?) pregnant self.

As for any hint of self blame: at least 50 times in the last few months I have cursed myself for some supposed mistake (yesterday bowling a few rounds! Which was not a good idea) only to have to remind myself, as I am reminding you, that we are all alive as well as being pregnant. Life comes with a huge range of activities and moment to moment decisions that we cannot always be perfectly prepared for. You just get on with it the best you can like everyone else, and try to learn something along the way.

Take care
Exx

mumof2 and alyss, I really hope everythin works/is working out ok for you.

I think I've got a kidney infection. I've had two types of antibiotic for this UTI and still don't feel like I've shaken it, and now I'm getting pains in my upper back - right where they were when I had a kidney infection last time. I'm just hoping I've pulled a muscle or something.

mumof2 really really hope they're right and it's bladder - but you are right, you know your body and push for all checks you can get. But don't blame yourself one bit, I echo Elasti there are lots of activities that come with being alive and we can't wrap ourselves up in cotton wool for 9months. If you do have an incompetant cervix it is nothing that you caused. hoping and praying for a healthy little one in there and that they can correct all that is needed with a stich or whatever is necessary.

Alyss also thinking of you - I hope everything goes well today, please let us know.

Will be thinking of you both today and have every faith that there will be some positive outcomes - sending all the positive vibes possible in your direction
