Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone’s been in the same position.

I’m 33 weeks 3 days pregnant.
Cerclage placed at 20 weeks after funnelling being observed on my scan.

Iv been admitted to hospital - this was following me wakening up yesterday morning to find spots of water on my bedsheet and pressure within my pelvic area. I went to triage who completed the pre term labour and amniotic fluid tests (don’t remember professional name) and they both came back positive. I was reviewed by one of the senior doctors via speculum/scan and she could see baby’s head pressure down right at the entrance of my cervix. It was decided that my cerclage be removed and I be admitted to the labour ward. Iv had numerous mild contractions/tightenings throughout the day into the early hours of this morning, constant need to urinate, waters continue to leak slowly and my pains being maintained on paracetamol and dihydrocodeine .. iv just received some morphine half an hour ago due to some intermittent shooting pain up inside my vagina, being unable to sleep and feeling really unsettled/uncomfortable.. iv also received steroids for baby’s lungs and two lots of IV anti biotics as I have strep B.

Labour doesn’t appear to be progressing anywhere tbh. Has this ever happened to someone before and what was the outcome?

Thanks xx

Something similar-ish happened for me. My waters went at 33+2 and I ended up being induced at 33+3 due to worries around infection (otherwise they may have tried to continue the pregnancy). Baby was born 33+4. She did really well and is now a hap out and healthy 10 year old
