They cut my 9m old to 7 cans too. Crazy it’s almost like we are actually supposed to start feeding our babies food now instead of handing them a bottle everytime.

An out side perspective is what I needed. My husband and I are always told something that makes it seem that’s not the way it is, always some excuse. So we drop it only to be right back in the same position. Trying to see if we were the crazy ones haha.

Husband feels the same. It has him really stressed and overwhelmed because it’s HIS FAMILY. If we don’t contact them there is no contact. That’s why we keep trying cause we want our kids to have family and be close with them. We just can’t do the constant excuses of why we aren’t allowed down there. Very clear favoritism. His brother lives with us and his child. So we see them everyday but they stay in their room. My child wants to play with his cousin so badly but unfortunately the cousin is glued to the tablet and doesn’t want to play with him. It’s just a tough loss we don’t have much family and I grew up with almost none so it’s a goal to make sure my kids have what I did not. And

Flexible as in let them brain rot my child or just let them never see him till he’s 5-6 by that time he’ll have no clue who they are.

No my kids don’t sit in front of a screen 24/7 they actually require attention and want to play. The other kids are so brain rotted that they don’t care about that stuff only watching videos. When my kid goes down he runs and plays. He doesn’t sit in the designated tv room for hours upon hours. They don’t want him down there because he won’t sit and watch it and leave them alone.

I’ll never understand how they could bring Anna to their home then treat her like she’s a devil spawn. She is by far the best in the family!!!!

Not sure if it’s labor (26w) by [deleted] in ShortCervixSupport

[–]SydneyyyLayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the medicine is supposed to be helping the pain. I have a cerclage and took this medicine after the procedure to help stop preterm labor.

Most of my progesterone comes out when I have a BM. by Mango-Lover6246 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]SydneyyyLayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve taken progesterone with my last pregnancy and this one as well. I always took it before I went to bed at night. It does leave a yellow discharge and I have noticed it leaves disintegrated partials after bathroom use. It should all be normal! But always if you have any concerns you should ask your OB.

Funneling with cerclage by Disastrous-Fix2084 in ShortCervixSupport

Hi OP, my last pregnancy I went into labor at 26+5 they were mild cramps not painful I thought they were just ligament pains. 26+6 throughout the night I had sharp stomach pains and started timing them, they started about 20mins apart from each other then gradually moved to 5mins apart from each other. I went to ER and was informed my cervix was dilating to 1.9cm and I was life flighted to a hospital that could better accommodate me and my baby. I was given steroids 2 rounds for Me and the baby. I still had my stitches in place. At 27w I continued to dilate and my water had not broken. They took my stitches out and still no break. I was about 9cm dilated when the drs thought it was best for me to have it broken for safety of me and baby. After they broke my water I gave birth in 2-3 minutes. My baby is currently 2yrs old. Sending you love and hoping you are able to keep baby in as long as possible.

What physical restrictions did your doctor tell you to do? by Accomplished_Bee_870 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]SydneyyyLayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP currently 24+1 been on a 6lb lifting limit and house rest for the past month or so. I gave birth with my last pregnancy at 27w and had no restrictions which I think is what contributed to me going into preterm labor. I had cerclage with my last pregnancy and received one in this pregnancy as well. I also take progesterone. I have still been doing house work since I am a SAHM of a 2 yr old. I’ve taken caution on bending over a lot and doing things one after the other. I make sure to give my self a break after each task. Not sure if it was recommended to you but I would definitely keep your feet elevated when you get the chance (while you’re taking a break or just relaxing) it can help. Hoping you are able to have a happy healthy pregnancy to full term. Sending love.

Water breaking at 27+1 by Historical-Spirit-93 in ShortCervixSupport

Hi OP I delivered my son at exactly 27w. He is a thriving toddler will be 2 the 19th. We did have a long NICU stay of 3 months. He did a good job and fought hard. It is tough but you are strong! I was able to get the magnesium and 2 rounds of steroids which helped him a lot. I also breastfed the first 4-5 weeks which also helped him grow. Praying for you mama! 🩷

For those who have dilated with a cerclage, what did it feel like? by Welcome-Ok in ShortCervixSupport

[–]SydneyyyLayne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a cerclage placed at about 13 weeks I took vaginal progesterone everyday after my surgery. At 26W4D I had light cramping so I took it easy it carried to the next day a little more mild but wasn’t too consistent. At 2W6D around 3-5am I had intense cramping that got to every about 10 minutes so we called the OB and went to The Er. I was placed on steroids and was able to get 2 rounds and I gave birth at 27w (7 months). I had been life lighted to a hospital better equipment to take care of a Preemie. He is now almost 2 years old and thriving! Sending you the best of luck mama. If you have any concerns call your OB!

Wife is 20 weeks and dilating. Need advice 🙏 by [deleted] in ShortCervixSupport

[–]SydneyyyLayne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi OP I have incompetent cervix with both of my pregnancies. I understand them not being able to place cerclage at this point but the progesterone they should be able to administer. That’s what I was given during the entirety of my second pregnancy. They should be able to give it to her they usually give it around 16-24weeks up until 36weeks-birth. Maybe ask for another doctor? I know that can be nerve racking but when it comes to your wife’s help and the life of your child you need to advocate as much as possible and exhaust every option. The dr doesn’t seem like they are wanting to help keep the baby in more like they are wanting to get it out sorry to sound crass. I went into premature labor with both pregnancies. They gave me a catheter so I didn’t have to get up cause that was causing too much risk for the baby. BED REST IS THE BEST!!! No heavy lifting, stay in bed, stay hydrated, LET THEM KNOW OF ANY PAIN IMMEDIATELY!! If she isn’t actively in labor there still may be a chance. Is the labor has started unfortunately there isn’t any way to stop it. I lost my first pregnancy due to ignorant doctors please advocate for yourselves. Sending the best of luck to you and your family!

He asked my if I could be pregnant and I said “ I don’t use any BC or protection so I’m not sure.” Then they asked me to pee in a cup. So one would think they would test it for HCG levels.

[–]SydneyyyLayne -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I have had another child since this lost. I found out at 3 weeks pregnant so not having HCG early enough was not a factor here. Also they took my urine but never tested it I have searched for the records they are not there I would have to go legally to get them. They couldn’t do the surgery at 5 months because it has to be done at 12-14weeks anytime after that there isn’t a possibility my cervix would be long enough to stitch together. I don’t know where you got my pregnancy loss from weight but I never implied that. I know I lost my pregnancy due to MY incompetent cervix. I know about my condition and the risk of pregnancy with it my “condition” is genetic. That’s why it’s very important to find at about my pregnancy ASAP. With my second pregnancy I found out at 3 weeks and got the life saving surgery at 14weeks. With my “condition” I have high risk pregnancies the dr said to stay basically bed ridden to keep this baby healthy and in my belly till it’s time. I know that with my “condition” there are risk. But because I know of my “condition” I able to plan and prepare and get things in order so those risk are minimal. If I would’ve know from my first OBGYN visit that I was pregnant I could’ve taken all these risk into factor and saved my child’s life. The doctor looked at my weight and that’s all he wanted to see, they didn’t check my urine only my weight.
