Has anyone experienced Cervical funneling?

I've had a cervical cerclage (stitch) but my cervix is still gradually opening, I'm only 21wks. Now on progesterone. My little pumpkin seems perfectly fine in there but Im so scared😢

This sounds scary! How often are they monitoring you? Are you on bedrest? Know that babies are viable at 22 weeks, ask for steroid treatment if you get to a point they know baby is coming early. Even 24 hours of steroid treatment can help baby's lung development SIGNIFICANTLY. Do some research on the 22 weekers and know your options so you can fight to save your baby if it comes to that. Each week you progress from this point is helpful to baby. ❤ sending love and good vibes to you

Thank you C-Lee, I'm taking it so easy now with work and everything. Thankfully no discharge so that is reassuring. I'm trying to remain calm.

Reduced movements

Baby hadn’t moved for about 2 hours (that I can be sure of) but has now got hiccups and moving slightly again. Should I still go to triage or is that enough for things to be ok?

Growth scan

Just had a growth scan 35 + 2 and they said baby is weighing 3.5lbs, I had a growth scan at 28 weeks and he was 3lbs then. I’m back for a scan in 2 weeks but they said if he drops again they will look to induce me at 37-38 weeks now I’m scared!

Braxton hicks

Where do you feel these in your belly ? Top or bottom?

How regular do you feel them?
I’m having constant period pains low down getting worse each day and lost lots of clumpy snotty looking like discharge yesterday

Is anyone super sweaty down there?

I am around 21 weeks now, doing shopping today and was genuinely panicking my waters had leaked. Rang the local antenatal assessment and was suggested to change, pad up and monitor for an hour and go in to be checked if necessary. Been monitoring with toilet paper wads (as I didn't have maternity pads this early on!) and regular checking and luckily I think everything is okay... But seriously, was it just sweat??! Has anyone else experienced this?

Change of Midwife

I’m gutted, had the same midwife the whole way through (because my original midwife who I never actually saw was on long term sick leave) and now they have put me with the one that was off 😭 I’m probably being dramatic but I’m 5 weeks away from my due date and had so much confidence in my midwife and now I’ve been put with someone I’ve never met and not comfortable with 😭
