Anyone had a ruptured cervix/uterus experience?

you shouldnt pack anything! hubby should pack for you.

i had 2 full term normal pregancies, my son born at 39 weeks, 2.9kg and my daughter at 37 weeks, 3kg, new born was huge on both on them and they wore premie cloths, so i think premie and newborn will be fine. 0-3 months is like 5-7kg if im not mistaken and i highly doubt ur lo will be that big. best of luck and ur in my prayers.

Hello Chanz,

I had a discharge and some discomfort but the discomfort was gone in a week. My gynae had warned me about both and he advised me to use panty liners. So I was using them for the rest of my pregnancy because I still had the discharge. My gynae explained that the suture is a foreign object in the body thats why there will be the discharge.
Each time you go for check-ups just ask your doctor to check that the suture is still in place and still holding the cervix closed.
My gynae told me that I most likely will need the suture each time i get pregnant but he will definitely be doing the cervical scans to see how my cervix shortens and from that determine whether he will put in one.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and the baby.

Hi ladies

Thanks Sicha for your experience. Really helpful. I have also been wondering if I would experience this with number 2. So at least I know dr has to monitor.
I have a real personal question for you Sicha. After your suture was put in, did you have a milky kinda discharge for a couple days afterwards?

So now I need to get my and baby's bags ready. What did you ladies find absolutely necessary? I am wondering whether I should pack just newborn and tiny clothes or if I should pack newborn and a couple 0-3 months.

Chanz all will be fine. Just relax and follow the Dr advice. Am praying for you. Strongs

dear Chanz,
just wanted to wish you all the best and to say that like me, there are probably hundreds of ladies on this forum, quietly reading your thread, who are crossing fingers/toes that you lo makes it.
if i was a praying person i'd be adding LOTS of prayer, but i'll leave that up to those with better credentials!
*hug*

Sending some serious prayers your way Chanz!! Stay in bed and keep us updated. Wish you all the best!!

Hello Chanz, This is what I experienced as I have an incompetent/weak cervix. I lost my baby in 2009 at 22 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. I also had bleeding but for me it was too late to put the cerclage then because my cervical length was already too short. That was my first pregnancy and my doc did not know that I could have an incompetent cervix because i have never had any procedures done down there. So he did not have any reason for doing cervical scans(This is not meant to scare you)

I fell pregnant again in Dec 2009. My doc started doing cervical length scans from my first appointment, these are done vaginally. At 13 weeks my cervical length was 4.2cm and at 17weeks it had shortened to 3.2cm. At that point my doc booked me in for the cerclage and it was done that same week. I stayed at home for a week, then went back to work. With an incompetent cervix, you have to rest as much as you can, no hard work.
I didn't experience anything else out of the ordinary afterwards. My LG was born via c-section on 10 August last year. They took out the cerclage during the c-section after the baby was born. I had taking the cerclage off is also a bit painful.

There is an international organisation called Sidelines. Their website address is www.sidelines.org/. They are also on facebook and twitter. They are a non-profit organization providing international support for women and their families experiencing complicated pregnancies and premature births. I used them during my pregnancy and my support person was of great help. What they do is they link you up with someone who has had a similar experience as you and you get to chat and the person usually gives you lots of support.

I hope and pray that everything works out well for you and the baby.
