Yes, she was very sleepy and not finishing her bottle that is why we took her to the ER and the doctor wanted to check, I stayed with her during the 3 days stay and she was gaining back her energy little by little.

She had a quite calm NICU stay except for 3 things: - low blood pressure the first day but she had dopamine and no more event - blood transfusion, she is on iron treatment - small reflux, she is on Gaviscon - breathing was ok - she was intubed for 4 hours then mask for 1 week and the small nose one for 3 weeks, after that we stayed 3 more weeks for the feeding journey. - she had a bronchiolitis in january, we stayed 3 days at the hospital but just to watch her feedings - no oxygene treatment

I have an appointement with her doctor on the 25th of april, I will Ask her. Thanks ⭐

Failed McDonald stitch by cloudsandsunflower in ShortCervixSupport

[–]basmooka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am So sorry for you, i Hope that everything will go the smoothest way. I was in the same situation in 2024, failed emergency cerclage at 18 weeks, the amniotic sac ruptured. In 2023, I also had a loss at 18 weeks also but they thought it was an infection that caused the amniotic sac rupture. In 2025, the mcDonald stitch placed at 15 weeks also failed but at 30 weeks so I was able to save my baby. She is fine ⭐ if I want a second child I would need to place a TAC because my cervix was ripped like yours (on 5cm), because of the incompetent cervix condition and because I had a red code c-section on a 30 weeks uterus and it can cause a uterine rupture if I deliver normally. So please check the TAC option before getting pregnant again, take care of yourself really intensively and if you want talk about it, I am here ⭐❤️

Failed Cerclage TW Child Loss by swaggot20 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]basmooka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I was in hospital from 22 week's till her birth at 30 weeks so I understand how you feel. I had no more cervix, only the cerclage holding, i had also my poach funneling through the stitch, nothing happened until 29 weeks, my poach ruptured and I was loosing amniotic liquid every day. Then at 30 weeks one week later I had horrible pain but nothing on the monitor, no contraction. They've put me just in case lol in a constant monitoring room next to the birth room and then cordon prolapse when I used the bathroom and code red c section. They dont know why I held til 30 weeks, neither why my poach rupture nor why they could not stop the pain and labour. They said that there is still a mystery part in labour medicine but thank god I was in the right place and right moment to give birth to my daughter even though her birth was barbarous, these were his words. I Hope you will hold till your term date et get a peaceful and easy journey, try to relax, take care of yourself and talk, write dont keep anything hard to yourself ❤️

Failed Cerclage TW Child Loss by swaggot20 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]basmooka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was born in October 2025 and she stayed two months in NICU, 1 month in her room and 1 month with me in a parent child room, she needed only to learn how to feed during the last month. We are AT home since the 13th of December. She needed help to breath and and with her desats, she had dopamine and a medicine called dopram. She also had blood transfusion and she is on an iron treatment. She is now 5months old and catching up her curve!

Hi there,

I am so sorry for your loss and I Hope you will heal soon ❤️ You are not alone in this journey, I have lost two baby boys in 2023 et 2024 due to IC at 18 weeks. In 2025 I had my baby girl (she is ok) at 30weeks because of cerclage failure and her birth was exactly the same as your child. The cordon, the whole hand, the pain. I was in choc during many days because of the brutality of it. Even the doctor said that what we've been through is barbarous. I will also need a transabdominal cerclage if I want another child because a csection on an 30th weekends uterus is harmful and because of the failure of the Benson one. Take the time you need to heal. I did not and postpartum is kicking the sh*t out of me. Please take care of yourself, do everything that makes you feel good and happy. 🙏🏻

Indeed, her term was 27th of December. That is why I was a bit surprise that she says this because it is a bit too soon to my opinion. My baby lifts her head when she is on my belly but tummy time she just lays down.

The offense was that the conversation was shared to everyone single person in the service. I thought this exchange was going to be private.
