Im sorry your going through this

you seem so strong. As hard as it is try and stay as positive as possible.

My consultant told me at 16 weeks that my boy was probably going to die, now hes over 2 months old and noisey as ever lol

I hope your LO stays in there as long as possible, and wish yous all the luck in the world xx

As Violet says I would ask again about the stitch....why would the consultant mention it if he doesn't think it would do any good, that's a bit backwards.x

Think i'll ask him on thurs morning & see what he says... although i'm assuming that the stitch only works for ladies with incompetent cervix caused by weight of baby pressing down on it & forcing it to open (preventing baby from being born prematurely)? so if fluid is leaking a stitch won't make any difference as fluid would still get through??

I'll definitely ask him to clarify this for me though so thanks for mentioning it.
