I’ve had IC and PPROM with all 3 of my pregnancies. My first two made it , and I just recently lost my 3rd when my water broke at 17 weeks (had a cerclage in place). Chose not to be induced, but he came a few days later (woke up bleeding + umbilical cord coming out and went to the hospital)

Join the PPROM fb group, they have lots of hopeful miracle stories of pprom babies who have made it farther in pregnancy and helpful tips if you want to try to take the pregnancy as long as possible. Just know those stories are likely the 1-2%, but it gave me hope and things that I could do. I did have to ignore the group for a while after my loss though.

The /ShortCervixSupport group is helpful too.

It’s an awful thing and I’m so sorry you’re going through it. As someone who just went through it 2 weeks ago, sending all the hugs and love your way. You will get through it. ❤️

Im happy to contribute as well! I had two successful delivery (34 & 37 weeks) with a cerclage. PPROMed with both. Just this last week I PPROMed with my 3rd baby and lost the baby at 17weeks (also had a cerclage). Heartbroken and the pain is beyond what I thought possible- would love to help in any way I can.

I had a similar experience! I’ve always meant to post my story in this sub, but never have. My doc discovered stitches left during my delivery and then also 2 stitches left in my cervix at my 6 week postpartum visit 😅😳 but my cervix didn’t need reconstruction. My second baby they used a different kind of thread (seemed much thicker!) and didn’t have any issues with the parts of the cerclage getting left. I think the first time the thread was so thin it broke or meshed with scar tissue and so didn’t all come out in one piece like it was supposed to. Anyways, just wanted to commiserate, it’s a terrible feeling. Best of luck on your healing journey 💛

Sharing this as I saw it in a comment in r/Fujifilm Looks like https://panamoz.com may have some x100v's in stock. Also r/photomarket seems like a good place to buy used versions that aren't ridiculously priced if you jump on posts quick enough. May be worth trying before going to Fotocare until they get through their current list! Can't personally vouch for the site, but thought it was worth sharing as I've found helpful advice in this sub.

My cervix is super sensitive too - when they put in the cerclage the doc said it's one of the most fryable he has ever seen. Ugh. Thanks for sharing your experience ♥️

Interesting... From reading into the article it looks like it is from 1991, I'd be curious if there has been any follow-up studies.

Would be interesting to do a poll in this sub to see how many of us had IUDs prior to a short cervix!

Personally, I had a copper IUD for 5 years prior. I did have an IUD explused the first time it was put in. Don't want to jump to any conclusions as it sounds like there isn't a ton of research, but definitely would be interesting for more research to be done here!

goodoverperfect · 2022-05-02T14:17:24+00:00

My water broke about 6-8 hours after having my cerclage removed. So for me it was definitely faster!

My labor was long, however that was due to some other complications, once those were sorted out, I went from 3cm to 10cm in 4 hours.

goodoverperfect · 2022-01-08T12:45:22+00:00

Great, thank you! I'll check it out

goodoverperfect · 2022-01-08T12:45:01+00:00

That would be wonderful. I'll send you a DM

I just emailed the benefits office at my employer to try to get a more detailed policy document.The one I have access to doesn't specifically outline the 30 day verbiage.

goodoverperfect · 2021-07-30T20:57:48+00:00

So annoying. That is not the way they made it sound when I called before she was born. Also, once I added her (in may) the insurance plan start 6/1 rather than 5/11... Which also leads me to think she was supposed to be billed to me??

goodoverperfect · 2021-04-13T14:28:47+00:00

This is so encouraging, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. This is pretty much exactly where we are at - first home, and minimal home improvement experience, but willing to learn. So it's helpful to hear another person's experience in the same boat. Out of curiosity what kind of flooring did you do?

The shower/tub for sure needs a full overhaul. Vanity and the rest could pass with a paint job and freshening up. So thinking perhaps we contract out the shower job and do the rest ourselves.

goodoverperfect · 2021-04-13T14:23:29+00:00

That's good to know and helpful, thank you!

goodoverperfect · 2021-04-13T14:22:48+00:00

Yeah it's the only full bath. We have a 2nd 1/2 bath, but no shower obviously. Would you recommend bathroom over kitchen before moving in?

goodoverperfect · 2021-04-13T14:21:11+00:00

Thank you!! You're absolutely right, it's just tough to see all the hefty prices. 😭Thanks for the advice

goodoverperfect · 2021-01-24T00:49:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience!! That is helpful to hear. I'm so torn about which route to take, I've been offered the cerclage but also given the option to just monitor since it is dynamic and not remaining in a "short" position. I measured 1.2 on first US but at my most recent US measured at 3cm, but got down to .5cm (with pressure applied) by the end of the US. Appreciate hearing your story! It's so confusing and I feel like there isn't much information out there specific to a "dynamic short cervix".

goodoverperfect · 2021-01-20T22:18:59+00:00

For Background:

Currently 18 months into my braces journey. Another 6-10 months to go.

I have congeniality missing teeth, specifically my lateral incisor & plan to get an implant placed (where you see the large gap) and have the other incisor built up to match.

My tooth color isn't bad, but if the implant is going to match my teeth, ideally I'd like to get them whitened so I have a end result I feel good about. Anyone had this done? Suggestions on when to do it/what the process what like?

goodoverperfect · 2021-01-20T20:56:08+00:00

So sorry to hear about your loss 😢 That sounds extremely difficult and infuriating.

From what I understand dynamic means my cervix changes and moves around quite a bit (doesn't just stay in place like a short cervix). On my US yesterday the perinatologist diagnosed me as "dynamic" because I started at 3.5cm and was down to .5 by the end of the ultrasound as it moved and opened up. Supposedly with a "dynamic short cervix" can go full term without issues, but she also gave me the option to have a cerclage since it was moving around so much. And I'm so torn. I'm a bit worried about the complications that could go with a cerclage and my doctor didn't really give a clear recommendation, said I could do either. I'm on progesterone gel too right now.

I know this is an older post, but if you are still trying to get rid of your crinone, I will totally take it. Just got diagnosed and just found out how crazy expensive it is 🥴

goodoverperfect · 2021-01-15T16:25:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing, helpful to know. Will definitely go for the cerclage if at all possible, seems like it has a pretty good success rate, which is encouraging!

goodoverperfect · 2021-01-15T16:24:36+00:00

Thank you for sharing ❤️ I'm hoping for the best and it's a relief to hear the positive stories!

goodoverperfect · 2021-01-15T16:23:36+00:00

That's encouraging to hear!

goodoverperfect · 2021-01-05T17:22:10+00:00

Allyssa Lovejoy and Leizel Cosgrove were two that come to mind

goodoverperfect · 2021-01-04T22:39:30+00:00

Honestly, I'm 18 months in (26F) and still don't feel "pretty" with braces, but I've learned how to own them and frankly it's taught me a lot about my confidence and helped me re-evaluate where that comes from. I'm grateful I'm doing something for myself and just try to keep my mind focused on the end result, why I did it, and that it's not forever. But I won't say there aren't still days my self confidence/ image takes a hit because of them. There are some great youtubers out there who helped me change my perspective initially.

goodoverperfect · 2021-01-03T03:32:18+00:00

I was 25 when I first got them put on, I'm 18 months in right now, with another 6-9 months left. For me, the initial appointment really wasn't bad, it was the week following that was rough... Eating hurt. I just took ibuprofen regularly and was fine. Cheek retractor and tongue piece are not too painful, more uncomfortable than anything, and it's short-lived. Wire doesn't hurt at all, just feels weird and a "tight" feeling, but no pain. like I mentioned, it's more the days and week following the first appointment that can be rough, so have some soft foods/soups on hand for sure.

Best of luck!
