yea yesterday at the scan he told me another 2 weeks would be even better. now i have reached 34 weeks he's setting me new goals,lol. i would be a lot happier if i was at 36 weeks, but at least i know im in a safe zone now.
when my partner and i arrived there yesterday the receptionist said 'oh we were just talking about you!' and i said 'what whether i would make it here or not?' and she was like 'yeaa.' lol! bet they are placing bets on how far i'l go, lol!

At 35 weeks today Saw the midwife today and she told me babys head was engaging!! OMG I think I'm going to have him in the next week, at least I made it to my 34 week goal, hopefully I will get to 36 weeks still. Every week counts! Going for a scan on Monday to measure my cervix so will know more then. xx

Sounds like things are going great for you! Glad to see you made it to 35 weeks and still counting.
there really is no explanation for incompetent cervix. Unfortunately it just happens
I hope you have been on strict bed rest? If you can stay on your butt, in bed or on the couch and you don't do anything at all you could make it a couple more weeks Good look KUP

Yea I asked the midwife and she said it's unknown why, everyones different. No, no bed rest. I was told to just keep living my life normally, prehaps take things a bit easier but don't sit around all day.I was working up till 29 weeks ( I did have a seat) and have been walking everyday, however I have been doing a lot of sitting around too! lol. i did ask the scan doctor guy should i be on bedrest? and he said no its not good for you keep living life normally just take it easy.

I did go to the gym at first until I found out about the cervix problem at 24 weeks, and stopped cos I was worried.....been pilling on weight since!lol.I've put on over 2 stone this whole pregnancy!!

Thanks for all your messages I've really found they've helped me stay positive. xx

I'VE HAD MY BABY!!
At 36 weeks + 5 days so pretty much full term!! I'm so so happy that we got this far and he didn't have any problems at birth just a spot of jaundice, but that will soon clear up with lots of breastmilk and exposure to natural light
He is absolutly beautiful and I will post some pictures up when my OH tells me how to use the bluetooth device!! I am so so tired but when I look at how cute he is and how think how lucky I am to have a healthy baby its all worth it!

HIGHLY advise a water pool/tank birth!!

I hope everyone else is having a good pregnancy and thankyou so much for all your posts and help it really helped me to keep positive!! xx
