Preterm baby

Is anyone else aware they are not able to go full term? I have a bicornuate uterus and my uterus is smaller than the normal size so have been told I won’t be able to carry full term as baby won’t have the full space to grow. When people keep asking my due date I’m like erm who knows! 🤦🏼‍♀️ it is what it is and I can’t do anything about it so trying to be chilled about it but just wondered if anyone else has been in similar situations and how far you got?

I had this! But I had mine rectified with surgery. But this does mean I am now at risk of preterm due to the fact I have had uterine surgery…

Out of interest - have you had a normal Papp-a score? Mines come back as a low one and I’m just wondering if there’s any link… x

Have they told you how far along they think you will get? My dr said to be hopefully to about 32 weeks but I haven’t had my 12 week scan yet it’s on the 12th dec so guessing I will be told more then x

no - haven’t had anything like that. Just been told at risk of preterm etc. I am consultant lead so will see what they say next week at my first consultant appt x

let me know after your 12 weeks what’s your Papp-a (if you go for screening) I’m nearly 15 weeks now xx

how did you get on xx

hiya so my scan all went well thank you 🙏🏼 I was concerned because I am really big already but they said because my uterus is tilted forward this is why. I won’t have the blood results back probably until Friday so don’t no any more at the moment. I am waiting for an appointment with my consultant too. Did you have yours? x

my notes have just been updated and it says Low -A 0.86 MoM
I’m not sure what that means 🤷‍♀️

I think that will be your Papp-a. See if they follow up with a call? Interesting if there is a link between uterine abnormalities and Papp-a being low then! I’ll ask my consultant next week see what she says. I don’t know what my measure was. It wasn’t on my notes 🤔 xx

Avatar

so is a low score good? They said if it was high or urgent they would call. I’ll see if anyone calls tomorrow as it’s only gone on my notes tonight x

I’m not sure what it’s measured out of. So I don’t know about the measure. If I knew mine I could compare 😩 mine being low has me on aspirin for the rest of the pregnancy. But like I say, unsure on what my measure is… isn’t pregnancy a bunch of fun. Totally not stressful at all 😂 I’ll dm you xx

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!
