    This is inspiring. Im confined now for the same reason but Thanks God my cervix is improving Im 28 weeks pregnant. Your testimony gives me encouragement. Because yes it is really lonely here in the hospital and yet I cant see my husband,Visitors are not allowed because of Covid. Im just praying for us to make it full term😍

      I hope you make it full term as well. I couldn't imagine not being able to see my family. I was at least able to have my husband visit over the weekend. It got really tough being alone in the hospital, but hopefully you won't have to be there much longer and they release you early. I wish you the best on your journey. It will all be worth it when your little one is safe in your arms!

      @@ayedicko6452 I'm so sorry for your loss. My doctor did not put me on bed rest this time. Instead I was put on pelvic rest the entire time I had the cerclage. However, I did try to take it easy as much as possible. I was also high risk so I had doctor visits every 2 weeks. Pregnancy can be extremely scary and I can't imagine how you must feel after losing your baby. But I hope that your next pregnancy goes incredibly smooth. You never know unless you try, right?

      Alisha Jones good luck. I had my son at 29 weeks because they refused to listen to me and my concerns. I told them I was high risk with my daughter but it was 10 years ago. I had bed rest with her and made it until 38 weeks. I know my body so I should have demanded they treat me and my son! I argued at 27 weeks there was something wrong and they checked me and then I was in the hospital until I had him. Good luck!!

      I'm glad you were able to get your surgery! I hope your pregnancy goes very smooothly! And all I can suggest is to follow your doctors orders! I laid on the couch and in bed with my feet up when I had the cerclage placed and I only got up to use the restroom. If you do this, I would suggest wearing compression socks to keep blood flowing. And drink lots of water!! Congrats and best wishes!

  • @CoyatheVirgo
    @CoyatheVirgo Před 4 lety +13

    I went to my ultrasound appointment on Christmas Eve and found out that I was 5 cm dilated. It was a normal appointment and it wasn’t high risk at all. My obgyn sent me to the hospital and the maternal fetal doctor told me I could get a cerclage but they would have to test my amniotic fluid first which I was not happy about so I didn’t want to risk rupturing my sac. Basically on Friday 12/27/19, I went into labor with my baby girl and she did not make it. I have 3 full term kids ages 3,6,&9. This has never happened before and I had no risk before this. It was devastating. I later found out that my placenta had an infection so even if they tested my amniotic fluid, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my baby. This may or may not have anything to do with my situation, but with my kids I had an African American doctor and they checked for EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME... this pregnancy I had a female Caucasian doctor and I kept telling her something didn’t feel right. Instead of actually checking me to be on the safe side she kept having me take UTI meds and yeast infection cream. Not knowing if that was really the issue. Maybe I feel that it would have happened differently or maybe I would have found out sooner had I went to my old ob. Not sure but I can’t fathom the situation fully and still have unanswered questions. I pray for anyone who went through or is going through this. If you were able to carry full term, congrats and God bless you and your family. If you loss your child, understand to take it a day at a time and to cope with it how you need to cope with it. There are also support groups and etc available to moms like me.. I am also here too!

      new list Hi hunn! I am so sorry to hear that you experienced a loss. I understand completely how you feel! You loss something so precious and oh so valuable to you and your life and it hurts. It’s devastating! Understand that experiencing a loss never gets “easier” but as time goes on you learn to cope with it a little more each day. I believe that doctors of other ethnicities should take extra precaution with (black) woman. Especially when we’re experiencing discomfort. Take this journey a day at a time.. and grieve as healthy as possible. I still cry thinking about my baby and as a mother we always will. Chat with me if you need to, I’m here for you! ❤️
