Aa
just a question
At my 16week and 1day appointment they checked my cervixs for any dilation and it was 4.5cms witch they said its good and then at my appointment Friday they checked baby she was growing fine and very active and my cervixs was at 3.4cms is it ok does it look like its gone down they said it it was anywhere by 2.something then that wouldn't be good and then they will give me a stitch but I'm just worried abit
I'm not on about or saying ove got group b strep from my boyfriend I no where and what group b strep is and I what it does to some people I've been threw it twice and I've got it with this pregnancy I'm a carrier of it so every time I get pregnant I'll have it. And don't matter
Group b strep woukd not be from your boyfriend its naturally found in womens vagina and anus thats why they test for it but its not good for baby
Stepholson88 ok hun thank you message me andni'll reply tomorrow I'm tired and babys kicking the crap out of me lol she's saying mommy do you mind I wanna go sleep lol
They take a swab like a Pap smear but put in a liquid instead which enables them to look under a microscope!! My belief is that uf I do have it my bf got it from his ex and pasted to me and I have carried it all these years which horrifies me I spent two days crying cause I'm not that kind of person!! But it is classified like vaginitis so all I take is an antibiotic for 7 days
That's what I said I've bee with the same person for 8 yrs and before that never had unprotected sex!! This is my fourth child and have had all routine check Pap smears that always came back clean for years!! Had my dr redo the test in his office wIting in results!! It was just a suggestion!!
No sorry that's what I mean they were checking for any shorting/dilation and funerling but they Sid its good but what bout if its wrong and I was dilating abit
So they didn't check you for dilation then right? They checked the length of your cervix... it's perfectly normal for cervix to shorten a lil bit over time, as long as it's not below a 2 I think it's okay. If it's too short, you'd have what's called an incompetent cervix which could pose danger to the baby. But I wouldn't worry if the drs are not worried. because the thing with these measurements is that there is a lot of deviation. slightly off could mean huge in terms of numbers. And depends on who's doing it, you could get different results too.
I wouldnt have a std/trichomoniasis I've been checked before I got pregnant and during witch they do at 12week appointment and I have swabs done and I'm clear and I've only slept with 1 person witch is my boyfriend of 4years and he isnt like that either so I don't know I will ask for it thow just to check what does it include and how do they do it
Tell them you want a wet mount slide done!! I have been dealing with preterm labor since 21 weeks and just found out I have a std called trichomoniasis!! It is the most common one but apparently they don't check for it!! I have had it for years and never know they just kept tell me I had yeast infections
ash060115 I'm from UK and I go to the women's hospital and they no my history with my 3 pregnancys they use a speculum to open up and look I don't like the finger checking I hate it I I asked my dad if his driving and he said no and I told him I might be having concrations and thY and he didn't even ask his people for a lift and I asked my mom and they said both said phone ambulance and I said I can't because I'm at my boyfriends moms house and I prefer someone to drive me or otherwise I had to catch bus and thats a risk I'm not bleeding or my waters haven't broke but having that sort of stitch sort of pain that felt like it was in my chest aswell
Sorry just seen this... you should go to your maternity hospital and see someone in there.
I'm in Ireland they've a little er room in the maternityhhospital for under 24weeks or you go delivery suit if over 24.
I really think you should go hospital by the time u see ur gp you and I both know he will send u t hospital.
I'd go just to make sure all is ok.
The other girls here can't use the hospital like we can coz America uses insurances etc..
its completely different that why I asked were u are from.
I reckon go get checked hunni you'll only be a hour there xxx

Im 37 weeks and 3 days and my cervix has not been checked and neither has my midwife mentioned anything about checking it and my next appointment will be when i am 39 weeks
And I think I've got an infection because its stinging down below and inside I even rang the hospital aswell and they said I need to ring my gp in the morning but I don't wanna wait that long I have swabs done every 2weeks to check for infections and I have scans to check on my baby I'm high risk and to check on my group b STREP sometimes my discharge looks green but I'm not sure but sometimes its white my swab came back normal but I no sonthings not right
No read it again I said at my 16week and 1day appointment they said my cervixs was nice and long at 4.5cms witch is good and then at my appointment Friday they checked babys growth and she's growing fine and they checked my cervixs and they said that its at 3.4cms apparently everythinks good but I'm just worried as I'm 20weeks and 4days I've only got 8days until I'm 21+6days witch is when I losted my baby girl in November at that week
