Hiya. I discovered I am pregnant today and although it am happy I am also filled with worry.
In 2006 I lost a baby at 24wks due to weak cervix and strep b. the consultant at the time would not do an emergency stitch as I was bleeding and 5cm dilated.
My boy just didn't make the birth and was born and angel.
In 2008 I became pregnant again and at 12 wks had the stitch with no problems. At my local hospital they did not measure the cervix at the time and agreed I could go to London fortnightly to have it done. At 21 wks the professor who carried out the measuring discovered that I was basically holding the baby on the stitch and he said the only thing he could advise was that I lay down and give myself high levels of progesterone.
All in all I was on bed rest for over 12wks and at 34 wks the stitch finally broke and they got my son out due to risk of infection. Unfortunately he did have an infection and I had a very traumatic birth and my son was whisked away from me....however he pulled through after a couple of weeks in neo natal... and I now have a happy healthy son.
It was also diabetic in pregnancy...is that likely to happen again? I have lost nearly 4 stone,but not sure if it's hormonal or diet?
The other worry I have is that I slipped my disks in my back and am on gaberpentin( for nerve damage) and Tramadol. I have a docs appointment Moro... I hope it has done any permanent damage, I know you cannot just stop these types of meds. Any advice would be greatly recieved.
I know it is early days....I had a very early miscarriage last year. I am trying to stay positive yet realistic....it's hard and not let my imangination run wild about names and buggies etc!
Frankly I,m happy but trying not to be just I case if that makes sense...
Thanks for listening.
