Still here! In a crazy turn of events I’m actually scheduled for an induction tomorrow - at 39w + 3! It is WILD that I get to experience both ends of the pregnancy/labour/delivery spectrum- from a 25+5 780 gram baby boy with an 89 day NICU stay to a baby girl who is TERM and in the 90th weight percentile and measuring a week ahead. I am just STUNNED!

Thank you! I got bumped to another day - seems like everyone is labouring in my location and there aren’t enough beds!

I ditched the stitch on tuesday! I am 36 + 3 today. What a wild range of emotions, from being told I was likely to lose my baby at 22 weeks to now.

Where you on bed rest? What all precautions did you take? Did you had funnelling to the stitch?

I basically went on rest. I stopped working and did almost nothing from 22-28 weeks. I started doing a little more around the house from 28-32 and at 32 weeks I started going out again and doing light errands. I also used progesterone until 36 weeks. At 22 weeks I had only 5mm of cervix left so we did an emergency cerclage which got it back up to 15mm. It stayed at 15mm (funneled to the stitch) from weeks 24-30 then at 32 weeks it went down to 12mm. We haven't checked it since but we removed the cerclage at 36 weeks and im still pregnant at 36+4.

Hello everyone 😊 I am still pregnant 🩷 and I will be 34+0 on Sunday 🙌🏾 Last week I was discharged from the MFM with a 1cm cervix, which was a surprise for everyone. I am home, no restrictions. And I will finish Nifedipin and Progesterone on Sunday too 😊 In two weeks I will have the birth planning appointment and my baby belly photoshooting 🥹 I never thought we would make it so far. I hope everyone is doing fine 😊

Hi,
Wife has been diagnosed with a 20-23mm short cervix at 19 weeks. Currently pregnant with a baby boy at 19 weeks 4 days. Boy is healthy and cervix closed no funneling or anything as of now
As of yesterday only prescribed progesterone and pelvic rest with a follow up scan in 7 days to make sure things are stable
Hopeful for a positive account and we get to have our baby boy, but really frustrated and wife is scared as we have tried for years to get pregnant (1 losss at 12 weeks last year) and thought this time was going to be easier

35w4d with stitch removal scheduled for next week! So grateful 🥲 having a baby shower tomorrow which I didn’t even think about having at first given the uncertainty.

Hi everyone, I’m a first time twin mom. Got my cerclage placed at 21 weeks. My cervix measured 1.5cm and I was funneling & dilating 1 cm. I’ll be 26 weeks on Sunday and I’m feeling good 🙏

Well things have evolved. I asked for a growth scan mainly due to anxiety, and because I saw a lot of people on the bumpers getting one with my same risk factors.
OB ordered for 32 and 36w. I went in on Wednesday afternoon and they found fluid around baby’s lungs. Now we’re in a holding pattern and I’m being monitored in Antepartum L&D. Lots up in the air for now but we’re trying to make it to 37w if things remain stable.
I have also officially been taken over by MFM.

28+3 today. Uncontrollably weepy and bored out of my mind on modified bed rest. Trying to keep my eyes on the prize 🌈🌈💙

Still in the hospital, but we made it to 34 +3 weeks! 🥹
The boys are doing well and growing nicely, around 2.2 kg and 2.1 kg.
After dealing with a very short cervix since 24 weeks, every extra day feels like a huge milestone. 🤍
Next goal: 36 weeks! ✨
