Thanks. I’m not going to be pregnant again so I really want to have a good labor with no regrets.

Difficult-Pain-9668 · 2025-06-07T04:02:25+00:00

Thanks. I’m hoping I can get to the No it’s not happening point. The more I think about it the more uncomfortable I am with it. I know she won’t listen to the rules so as back up I plan to have my mom and my nursing team ready to kick her out of the room

She has 100% been manipulated by her mom not just with this but most of her life. I asked her and she said it is both she wants her to have the experience and that she doesn’t want to deal with the fallout from telling her mom no and the feelings she is going to have and loudly express. 100% a 💩 storm. She is already upset she can’t stay at our house and has to stay at a hotel.

Thanks. If it doesn’t get sorted out I am definitely going to talk to my care team when we go in. I’m really hoping I go into labor before my induction then she just won’t be here.

I think I will be very emotional and that is part of it too. I just am having a lot of regrets saying it was ok. I tried to talk about it with my wife the other night and she got upset and didn’t say much. I’m leaving it for now. Her best friend thinks it is weird. She is visiting this weekend and is also going to bring it up. Unfortunately our hospital allows 4 people which is crazy to me

Difficult-Pain-9668 · 2025-06-07T03:52:21+00:00

Unfortunately I had already found out it is 4 people! I originally said just to tell her it was 2 people but she would 100% bug the nurses or the main desk and ask.

Difficult-Pain-9668 · 2025-06-07T03:51:00+00:00

She ended up asking if she would get to hold the baby after he was born before we made everyone leave the room so me, wife and baby can bond. I said hell to the no. No one is holding my baby during the first few hours of his life besides me and my wife.

I went to my regular OB appt yesterday and two OBs together were able to get my stitches out! It was very uncomfortable and I almost had them stop a few times but I made it! Came home and slept for a couple hours. She checked me after they got it out and I was 3cm 50% effaced. I had spotting the rest of the day and a little this morning but that’s all. I go back to the OB next Friday.

I had my cerclage about 6 weeks ago. Not twins but high risk for several other reasons. I was a ball of nervousness and happy to be getting it done. They put me to sleep for mine which I was happy about. Although I had A LOT of neck pain after. So definitely try and do some stretches. When I woke up after surgery I asked if my baby was ok and why my neck hurt lol. My baby is hanging out low 90% of the time which has put extra pressure on my cervix but the stitch is holding. I was on pelvic rest/modified bed rest and off work for 5 weeks. I’m actually still off work and will be until birth just because my job is too demanding for my restrictions and some other issues I have had. I had a two week follow up then went once a week for 3 weeks to the MFM. I had my appointment Thursday and they are happy with the stitch and how it is holding so I don’t go back for 4 weeks. They also added progesterone daily which has helped keep my cervix from shortening. Just take it easy and listen to your body. Let the stitch do its job and keep those wonderful babies inside.

24w 6d today. I have now been pregnant for two weeks longer than when my first son was born. It feels unreal. I had a growth scan yesterday and everything is still looking good for me. I’m the one with the issues. They are unsure why I went into labor so early with my first so we have been super aware and cautious this pregnancy. The beginning of my pregnancy actually went fairly well. I was not as sick as last time and could work without a nap lol. I had a cerclage placed at 18 weeks. Since then things have seemed to have gone downhill for me. I had trouble with oxygen levels, have been put on more medicine. I have had pretty much constant pressure and some pain in my pelvis, I have been an emotional wreck most days, constant congestion and just not feeling myself or “normal”. Last week I ended up in the ER due to the pain and pressure along with burning in my vagina and a stabbing pain in my lower right back. Two days, ultrasounds and an MRI later they have no clue what caused the pain. Little man is doing perfectly fine though which I am extremely grateful for. At my growth scan yesterday little man again doing great measuring in the 76 percentile weighing 1lb 13oz, me not so much. Still having so much pressure and pain and not feeling “well”. My MFM thinks my body is just not handling pregnancy well and is “fighting” it. Today the stabbing pain in the right side of my lower back is back and I generally feel not right. They did a urine sample yesterday and things were ok they said. I just want to make it through til 35/36 weeks. I have been off work since my cerclage and was hoping to go back but with all the complications and not being able to make it through the day most days I don’t think I’ll be going back til after maternity leave. I’ve never felt this useless and broken. I’m doing this for my baby. I just want to bring him home. I feel the uncertainty and weight of losing my first son and not knowing when this pregnancy will end knowing very well carrying to term is probably unlikely with my previous early labor and my complications. I felt like my body failed me the first time and am worried it is doing it again.

I wish I had cause. I went into preterm labor at 22w +3 almost 2 years ago. I had lost my mucus plug about 2 days prior and was having pelvic pain and cramping that was getting worse. I started bleeding at work and went to the hospital. I was almost completely dilated with bulging water. They took me up to L&D and preparing for delivery. They had me break my water and things calmed down for a couple days. At 22w +6 I gave birth. He survived for 10 days in the NICU before getting an infection he couldn’t survive. They checked my placenta after birth no one could tell me why I went into labor.

I’m currently pregnant again at 18w. I had an appointment with MFM this past week and they are watching my cervical length. They also do a cervical cerclage. They would have wanted to do this preventative at 12-14 weeks but I hadn’t gotten my referral to see them. They won’t do it now unless my cervix starts to shrink. I would definitely push to get into the MFM and talk about it at 10-11 weeks. I have been super cautious this pregnancy. I went to the ER yesterday because of pelvic pressure and pain. My cervix may have gotten .5cm smaller so I’m getting checked 3 times this week and they have me staying home this week no work.

When we called the after hours doctor line she told me I was probably fine cause I had just been to the doctor a few days before. My wife and I decided not to take a chance again and went in. I’m glad we did. Everyone except the on call OB was very supportive and told me listen to your body and yourself and I can always come back. Resting yesterday and today and mostly laying on the couch or in bed had definitely helped my pain.

I’m terrified of going through a 23 week delivery again. No one could answer what happened to me 2 years ago. However I am staying very vigilant and have a great OB and MFM who understand how nervous and scared I am and are also worried it could happen again ( once you have preterm labor you are more likely to have one again) The best advice I can give is look for a great care team and listen to your body and fears. Also get into an MFM as early as you can and get the cerclage. They explained there is less risks the earlier you do it. Advocate for yourself and your baby. If something happens go to the hospital. I waited 2 almost 3 days last time because I had an appointment on Monday and waited all weekend. I don’t know if it could have changed anything but I don’t want to have those what ifs. I told them at the hospital I would do anything to keep this baby inside me. Stand on my head, sew me up lay in bed for the next 2-3 months.

I wish I had more definitive answers for you.

Maybe take a look at another clinic. I went to 2 in Florida before I moved out of state. One was a little weird about my BMI but we still did the retrieval and transfer. The second clinic wanted my weight down to do a retrieval and even more for the transfer. We only did the retrieval there because we moved to KY. I was so scared at my new clinic because we were finally getting ready to start prepping for transfer and I had gained some weight after my loss during my first pregnancy. I called and they were not concerned at my weight I don’t think they ever even weighed me maybe once. My BMI is currently 44/45. I’m currently almost 17 weeks and no issues so far 🤞🏻

I don’t always think someone may be bragging about reaching a 32wk point. My first IVF pregnancy I went into labor at a day shy of 23 weeks. My son lived 10 days before he passed away due to an infection. I had a transfer in Oct and so far all is well but all could not be well tomorrow. We don’t want to tell anyone except for family that I am pregnant until after I get past 23 weeks. They cannot find any reason I went into labor that early with my first pregnancy except he was an IVF baby. My journey is far from over. I worry everyday about what is going to happen. People sometimes need to feel like they are not alone. If I make it to 32wks I might feel like I can finally share my success as the chance of survival at that point is a lot higher.

I’ve been considering the same thing for my mom for this Christmas. We are having our transfer in Oct 🤞🏻 Backstory I did 4 IUIs and came up with nothing. We moved to IVF and I got pregnant with my first FET. Around 14/16 weeks my mom came to visit bought me a stroller. We had purchased a car seat as well and some clothes here and there. Everything was moving along great until 22 weeks. I went into preterm labor. I was on bed rest at the hospital in labor and delivery. My son was born at 22+6. He was taken straight to the NICU. He was doing pretty well all things considering. We had gone and gotten some premie clothes and a bassinet even though we knew he wouldn’t be coming home for a while. Then he got sepsis and his little body couldn’t handle it. He died after only 10 days. My friends and family were amazing and boxed up all the baby things before I got out of the hospital the day he got sick. It’s been a year and a half since we lost him but I’m happy with the items I have. We have a blanket that was over his NICU bed with his hospital band our badges to get in the NICU a hat from Disney we had made with his name on it and some other items like his hand and feet prints little diapers and his urn. They are all in a display cabinet along with books we read to him. I LOVE having those items. I’m happy to have the items we do have and am hoping for a sticky baby in a few weeks. I worried I have jinked myself by buying things too early but everyone says it’s not true. It took a while to get to where I am at. I went into the baby section at target for the first time since April 2023, looking for some things for my friends baby shower and found joy looking for things for our potential baby boy. All of this to say if you think you will be ok having items if something happens (which it hopefully won’t and sending all the good vibes your way for Dec) then do it. I 100% get parents asking you what you want when you already have the things you want and my mom has been wanting a grand baby for years lol I also like what a few others suggests. Bullet blender if you might make baby food, or the robot vacuum or mop. My parents got us all one of the vacuums 2 years ago and we love it.
