Hi I’m currently 27 weeks pregnant and since the last few days I have white and pale yellow snotty discharge it isn’t smelly or itchy at all.. just want to know if this is normal nearing the third trimester? I also have a stitch in

Hi,

I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant so probably getting way ahead of myself but I’ve always been a worrier and a planner.

Last year I lost my daughter at 20 weeks due to pprom. Drs aren’t sure why it happened but said this pregnancy to air on the side of caution they will treat it as being due to a shortened cervix.

My consultant very briefly mentioned after my loss that they would measure me frequently and have methods they use but I think I was just too in shock to process what was being said and ask any questions.

I’m just wondering what to expect this pregnancy treatment wise. I live in the UK so hoping some UK ladies can share how the NHS treatment plans went for them.

Is the cerclage as effective with twins than with a singleton pregnancy? I lost my first baby at 18 weeks due to pprom. My next pregnancy i got a preventative cerclage at 12 weeks that held until I had to deliver at 36 weeks. Im pregnant with twins now and just worried the cerclage wont hold as well due to the pressure of two babies. Any stories or advice are appreciated.

I lost my daughter Alexandra at 22.5 weeks on May 6th.

At 17 weeks I went for an ultrasound and OB check, everything looked fine. On the first anatomy scan at 14 weeks my servix was measuring 38mm, the pregnancy was considered low risk. My first pregnancy was also low risk. Everything perfect, I was induced at 39+2 weeks, ended up having an emergency c section and I have a healthy almost 3 years old boy.

I didn't make it to my second anatomy scan with this pregnancy that was scheduled for May 7th.

On the days previous to the loss I was perfectly fine, no spotting, no bleeding, no pain, no contractions. I didn't do anything weird, no heavy exercise, no heavy lifting, no sex, just went on short walks. The only thing I had was constantly wet underwear and white discharge that had no smell and wasn't much at all so I didn't think anything was not right. It turned up being the amniotic fluid leaking and parts of the mucus plug coming out 😮‍💨

I woke up as usual on May 5th, had breakfast, did some coloring with my son, went upstairs to change to go grocery shopping. I was constantly tired so I sat down for a minute and when I got up I felt a little bit of warm liquid coming out. I thought it was blood and immediately went to the bathroom. The liquid was transparent and had no smell. I started peeing and when I was finished I kept leaking a little I thought it was weird. I got up and it's when my water broke completely.

We went to see my OB and she confirmed I had no amniotic fluid and the servix was shorter than it should've been, I forgot what it measured. The baby girl was ok, with a strong heartbeat and moving a lot. Basically she said there was no was of saving the baby. She was too small. I felt so crushed, I just couldn't believe this was happening. An hour ago I was going grocery shopping and instead I had to be induced to give birth to my beautiful baby girl just for her to die. I was induced with oxytocin and had my baby 12 hours later. She went to be with Jesus shortly after birth.

The did all the tests and the placental pathology and everything came back fine. There was no infection in the urine nor in the uterus, the placenta was perfect. My doctor says there could have been an infection in the membranes or in the amniotic fluid itself, but I understand there's no way of knowing that. Also they don't think it was an insufficient servix, because I didn't have it with my first pregnancy and also I didn't have any contractions until about 3 hours after being induced with oxitocin.

It's so devastating not knowing what really happened and why. And the worst part is that even knowing that wouldn't bring my daughter back. She was so loved, she still is and always will be 💔 I know she's in the loving arms of Jesus, but it hurts so much not having her here with us.

It really is the worst pain ever and you never really understand it until it happens to you. My husband is very supportive, but I feel so alone in this. I miss my baby so much.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Have you been able to have a successful pregnancy after? I'd really like to connect with people who's also going through loss to walk this road together.

This is an IVF pregnancy after years of infertility and one loss.

I was traveling back home to see family and even did an ultrasound on 22w4days all was perfect , cervix was closed and long. When I hit 23 weeks something felt off, I felt strong pain under my belly near my pelvic area it came in waves and would last 1 min…at the time I thought it was round ligament pain. But it wasn’t , it was contractions. The only reason I went to the hospital was because I saw some bleeding later that night.

I got to labor and delivery, they do an abdominal ultrasound baby is ok and everything seems fine, but the dr said let’s do transvaginal to rule out anything. When she did the scan, she was shocked you could tell from her face.. she stayed quiet . Then told me I was 2-3 cm dilated and my cervix was completely gone… & I have bulging membranes . I didn’t understand. She told me you are losing this baby. I quickly let her call my dr and my dr writes up a list of medications to take and I’m admitted to the hospital…basically saying I’m going to give labor any moment.

My dr said he would come in the morning , as it was midnight and nothing could be done now. I didn’t sleep at all.

Next day I’m told we need to wait 2 days to see if the bulge would decrease , to see if can do the cervical cerclage. The 2 days pass they seem to think they can do it and I go into surgery & wake up and told there wasn’t enough cervix to perform the surgery. So we are on bed rest and meditation now. I’m now 24w+1day. The bulge changes in size everyday.

I’m so scared and worried . I just don’t know how to feel.

I didn’t have this issue in my last pregnancy and doctor said it’s not usually seen in someone who’s carried full term before.

My anatomy scan was at an mfm clinic and she started with measuring the cervix. She spent so long and I swear took like 6-10 measurements. I could see on the screen the measurements were not good— all under 3cm with most being about 2.6cm but the shortest being 2.2. The mfm didn’t seem concerned (maybe just really good bedside manner?) but I am starting progesterone and have weekly ultrasounds for the rest of the month. Mfm didn’t say anything about restrictions, made it seem like not a big deal and that only 10-20% (20% being untreated) of cases have preterm labor/birth. Everything online sounds way more serious and women are talking about bed rest and hospitalization. I have a son turning 2 this week and so I am pretty active between going on 30m-1hr walks, playing with my toddler, house work, and errands. My husband works long hours, if I can’t do my normal tasks our life is going to fall apart.

I did just have some food poisoning the past 2.5 days before my anatomy scan where my symptoms were abdominal cramping (felt like bad gas and constipation), nausea, and loss of appetite. I’m wondering if all of that irritated my uterus and led to some cervical shortening. I’m hoping I get better measurements next week.

Does anyone has pubic hair area pain like down there with discomfort? I'm currently 27 weeks with rescue cerclage at 22 weeks
