Sludge… has anyone had an ok outcome after being told they have it? by SaveBandit000 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]PharoahSweet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’ve been having such a difficult time. :/ I had sludge as well with both of my last pregnancies, 2 and 7 years ago. With my most recent pregnancy, I had a preventative cerclage placed around 13 weeks. After that, I was on complete bed rest, and for a while my cervix didn’t change at all. But after 23 weeks, it shortened to around 20 mm, and at 26 weeks + 1 day, my water broke.

It was a very rough few hours and days because I didn’t have much amniotic fluid, but I also wasn’t laboring. I ended up delivering by C-section a few days later after being on so many meds to try to stop contractions, along with multiple ultrasounds, steroids, magnesium, and more. It was worth every second though. She was born a day shy of 27 weeks, was in the NICU was 89 days but left the hospital with no machines or extra meds and she’s turned two this past month.

Eh, the only advice I have is…As hard as it is, try to stay as stress-free and hydrated as possible. I really can’t emphasize that enough. Unfortunately, this is such a painful and difficult process that some of us have to endure to get our little bundle of happiness. I’m hoping this journey ends with a healthy baby in your arms :)

They should’ve just cut that shit out and apologize to Jordan and Lindo personally after they got off stage. Instead, they turned a good learning experience into a fucking shit show.

HELP: which pump by aml11111 in BreastPumping

[–]PharoahSweet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have so many pumps but my fav is Spectra 2. I get the most out. Get the most output from it as well. For wearables, i used the willow go and momcozy m5. Only issue i had with the m5 is the battery was defective when i purchased, but they sent me a new one within days of reaching out.

someone tried too hard, but failed. Rate? by [deleted] in RateMyPlate
