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?

What is your due date @Bumblebee902021?

I'm 34+4 so not that far behind!

I’m so glad everything is going well for you OP. My friend had this and was on bed rest from 24 weeks. Gave birth to a beautiful girl at 39 weeks. X

@Bumblebee902021 that is so great! I hope you're feeling well. Are you still on bed rest or just acting normally and waiting to see what happens?

everything is fine here! 29 weeks tomorrow.

Just found this thread and read all your updates while biting my nails, OP! How are you doing?

Fab news you have ditched the stitch, wishing you a nice speedy delivery when he does decided to make an appearance!

OP ive just read through this thread like it was a good book 😂🤦‍♀️ My nerves were gone at the start but omg I am so so glad to read that you have now ditched the stitch and baby is doing well! I’m sure you can’t believe how far you’ve come. X

Thank you. To update everyone on here. I delivered a healthy baby boy at 37 weeks 5 days so in terms of this I am a success story and my baby is my world and miracle 💙 I thank everyone on here for all the support, it has helped me massively to keep me sane through the days and months of bed rest. It really has kept me sane and positive and my baby boy is healthy and absolutely beautiful.

Unfortunately labour was traumatic and endured ventouse and forcepts which left me with 4th degree tear, 2 surgeries and numerous blood transfusions so this is my next challenge which will come up in a new thread. But to anyone reading this, I have a great success story in that an emergency cerclage, plenty of bed rest and faith helped get my baby to term 💙

And also if anyone has any questions for me that are going through the same with their cervix, please feel free. I am more than happy to help as the help here has been amazing and id love to be able to help or listen to anyone

I've been watching away, I'm delighted you've had your baby boy. Congratulations to you, enjoy it all

Yayy! Massive congratulations xxxx

Huge congratulations OP. I've no experience of it myself but just found this thread and have been reading your updates. It must be extra amazing to hold him in your arms

Congratulations op

Sorry you had a rough time but you did amazing

Huge congratulations on your healthy baby boy!

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Congratulations @Bumblebee902021 - so pleased to hear your baby is healthy.

I'm really sorry the birth was so traumatic and you're dealing with difficulties now. That sounds very challenging. Sending a lot of love and strength for a speedy recovery x

Got a lump in my throat reading this. Huge congratulations, so very pleased for you.

Wishing you lots of happiness with your little boy and a safe and gentle recovery from the birth.

Thank you all so much. Your kindness makes me have tears of joy. Holding my baby boy is the best feeling in the entire world x

Oh OP! I just read your whole thread and am so happy it turned out for you! It’s made me a little emotional and I’m an ice-queen normally!

If it makes you feel better; your birth sounds just like my first (4 years ago). Ventouse, forceps, 3d tear and PPH with airlift for blood transfusion. It’s now a distant memory! I did need Physio for my pelvic floor though (standard here in Switzerland but not in the UK - ask for it). I has a C-section the second time around; highly recommend it!

Oh @Bumblebee902021 I'm soooo soooo happy for you. I can remember your first post and to see you got to term fills me with so much joy. You beat incompetent cervix 👏
I wish you a speedy recovery

Just read through this whole thread, what a lovely and positive story! Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations. 💐💙
