I will be having my 5th c-section Due Dec 4th, will deliver the 27th if not sooner depending on the holiday and my Dr's schedule. I'm high risk also.
High Risk Buddy
So I am due Dec. 16, delivering Nov. 27. I get my cerclage on Monday. 5th pregnancy, 4th baby, 4th csection... is there any other high risk mommas out there wanting to go thru the journey delivering around the same time? I am high risk cause of incompetent cervix, previous preterm babies, thin uterus, lupus, and a clotting disorder.

I'm high risk as well. This will be my 5th c section. I've also had gastric bypass and last baby I had a bowl obstruction that is common from the bypass and pregnancy. They don't want baby getting too big so they (they being OB and maternal fetal specialist) are going to take baby 34-36 weeks. My actual due date is December 9th.
TI
yup same with me, there 2 weeks, she now 15, IQ 143, has been 90th percentile all her younger years.
Ma
The baby I just had last year they took at 36 weeks. When the neonatologists did their assessment in NICU (we were there for only 2 weeks) they said he was more like 32/33 gestation. Now hes 76 percentile and been walking for 2 months. He will turn 1 on the 15th.
TI
Oh wow! Good luck! I am always nervous about the early csection. Though it was unavoidable, my 1st, they thought I was 36 weeks, once they baby was born and they completed the assessment realized they were 3 weeks off.
I've been labeled high risk as well. Due to high blood pressure (which only happens at the OB's office) & having a 34 weeker. Supposed to start progesterone shots at 16 weeks.
TI
this pregnancy she has be doing suppositories and shots... not looking forward to either
Ma
I've had to do suppositories for last 3 pregnancies. I had no idea about the shots. Would have taken care of alot of mess lol
De
It will be injections I believe. I'm still not 100% convinced I need them. My daughter came due to my water breaking spontaneously & was completely healthy.
I'm not officially labeled high risk yet but have had two 35 weekers for no known reason and last pregnancy had marginal previa that never moved. I'm back to the OB who delivered my first (insurance changes cause me to go back and forth and this is my 4th kid) and she said we will keep a close eye on things and head to the high risk doc if needed for a consultation. I will be starting Makena shots at 16 weeks to hopefully get me past 35 weeks.

I think they are pretty much the same thing. Yes, they are done weekly from weeks 16-36.
TI
Yea, my cervix is labeled incompetent cause I go from long and closed to labor prior to 37 weeks. They typically can't stop it. Is Makena taken weekly like 17P? or is it the same thing?
Hey Tina. I'm high risk for now as well. This will be 3rd pregnancy second baby. I start progesterone shots and cervical length checks via us at 16 wks. I hope it all goes well this time.
TI
I have 2 boys (one a son in love) 2 girls, I kinda want the surprise factor!
TI
Good luck girl! Thanks for sharing!
Sa
I lost a girl to ic in January I'm hoping for another girl cause I already have a boy.
4th pregnancy! Just got my cervical cerclage in on Wednesday! High risk due too imcompentent cervix.
Dr
Night before so that could be. Same thang a lot of cramping and took off 4days and went back to work a little bit more sore this time because I had a toddler now all over me but so far so good no bleeding or anything feels like a regular pregnancy! 🤗🤗
Dr
Know when I would dose off. First time I woke up just fine and cramping a lot barely any bleeding and rested all week and went back to work until 39weeks and had to still be induced even after getting the stitch out! But this time it took me awhile to open my eyes but I didn't get any sleep the
Dr

The doctors and nurse I had very informative and nice and explained everything step by step from preparing everything and when go to the surgery room letting me
