22 weeks leakage and cervix funneling

[Bumblebee902021]

Hello,

After 4 miscarriages last year all at first trimester which included a missed miscarriage, I am now 22 weeks pregnant and desperately hoping to have a healthy first born child.

Yesterday went for a cervical length scan as I worry about everything and wanted to make sure I wasn't at risk of pre term.. And they discovered a shortening cervix at 18mm with funnelling but they could not do emergency stitch because I am also leaking a bit of amnio fluid 😢

Has anyone experienced this before and had a successful outcome?

@Bumblebee902021 I stopped just shy of 36 weeks - normally people stop anywhere from 34-37. I started on 400mg once at night then when I had the funnelling at 28 weeks was put up to 400mg twice a day, and had no side effects the whole time x

@Bumblebee902021 I am so pleased to hear you're doing well! Are you still on (self-imposed) bed rest?

Everything is fine with me. I'm at 21 weeks and my cervical scans have all been normal, keeping fingers crossed things keep going smoothly.

Sending you lots of positive vibes!

Baby was born last night 39+1 waters broke at 4.45pm he was here by 7.12pm

Congratulations @boymum88 - that is so fast! Hope you and baby are well

We are both well just a bit sore but all ready to go home just waitin to be discharged x

@boymum88 massive congratulations!!! Was it at birth unit? Glad to hear mum and baby doing well! How much does he weigh? Can't believe you lasted another 3 weeks since stitch removal!!

Yer had him at the birth unit with gas and air. He was 6.9lb

Just came looking for this thread to see how you are getting on OP, I'm so glad baby is still hanging on in there!

Also huge congratulations on your baby boy @boymum88

@LarsErickssong still on bed rest and at 30w3days 😀 next milestone 32w 🤞 I'm slowly going to try and walk around a bit more etc as feel I need strength etc leading up to delivery as after 8 weeks in bed, it's taken a massive toll but so worth it!

30 weeks is incredible I'm so pleased for you, fingers crossed baby will sit tight a good while longer 🤞🏻

Well done on reaching 30 weeks op

That's great news op!! Well done I've been thinking of you and so pleased you've reached 30 weeks!!
Got my fingers crossed to see you getting to 32!! One day at a time

@Bumblebee902021 how are you getting on? Am I right in thinking you should be about 33 weeks now?

Hi all,

33 weeks on Sunday 🙂 next milestone 34 weeks!

Hope you are all well, have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend x

@Bumblebee902021 that's great ( what a bit of prolene can help achieve ) have they given u a ditch the stitch date ?

@Bumblebee902021 that's amazing, what a crazy 11 weeks you have had! You are so close to full term now

Hi @Bumblebee902021 - hope you're doing well :) how are you getting on? I'm 26 weeks and was just discharged from the cervical clinic as it looks like everything is ok.

Hello guys!

Glad to hear @WolfMother326! Has it remained stable and long?

I am ditching the stitch in 2 weeks! At the start, never thought I'd say that sentence!!

Thrilled for you that you've come this far. Not long to go now...

@Bumblebee902021 it did shorten slightly but they said it was within a normal range - slightly more than the average woman but that I do not need a stitch or bed rest and I shouldn't worry. I feel ok about it, the consultant in charge saw me 4 times and explained everything in great detail. Feeling good!

Omg @Bumblebee902021 you will soon have that baby in ur arms x

So excited for your updates!!

Amazing news @Bumblebee902021

Hope all is going well @Bumblebee902021! good luck with the stitch removal

Thank you guys! Stitch is now ditched so now baby can arrive in his own time. How is everyone?
