Happy new year momshies! 👋👋👋
Dami ko na backlogs na kwento. Sorry dahil sobrang pagoda na ang kwarentahin nyong OB 🤣
Dahil ako ay kasalukuyang nagle labor watch ay naisip kong mag post ng story today. Ang isheshare ko ay ang story ni mommy Kristine. 🥰
I first met them February last year. They had just lost their first baby (after struggling with infertility for 3 years) after giving birth prematurely at 21 weeks. They were seeking advise in preparation for their next pregnancy, but first we had to manage her abnormal me**es.
After 3 months, they came back with positive PT. 🥳🎉 Nagstart na kami ng meds and frequent monitoring. We did cerclage at 14 weeks.
At 26 weeks, when we did cervical length measurement, wala na akong makitang functional cervix. When I did IE, 2cm dilated na sya kaya agad agad kong inadmit. Natakot kami dahil may nahimatay - pero hindi si Kristine kundi sa daddy! Ganun pala sya kapag may nangyayari kay momsh. (True love yern? 😂).
Feeling ko ang mga patients ko ay pinagko connect ni Lord, dahil that week ay may nagrequest na magpapa pessary (Hello Momsh Pixie!!!) on top of her cerclage para sure na sure na di sya magdeliver ng preterm. Kaya nireserve ko na sa kanya yung last pessary na stock ko. Yun pala ay yun ang magagamit ko for Kristine. Nakakatuwa dahil napigilan namin ang tuloy tuloy na contraction, at the same time ay nalagyan ko agad sya ng pessary. Natapos na rin namin ang steroids.
Napauwi pa namin sya with promise na bed rest at magiging compliant sa meds. 🥰 at around 34 weeks ay nagsimula naman tumaas ang BP nya, na nacontrol pa naman namin.
At 37 weeks ay tinanggal na namin ang cerclage at pessary nya. Upon IE ay 5cm na sya. Kaya lang hindi na nagprogress ang labor at 8cm kaya nag CS kami. Kaya pala di bumababa ay may mahigpit na cord coil sa leeg ni baby. Finally ay may baby na sila..🥳🥳🥳🌈🌈🌈
Salamat, Lord sa guidance nyo po sa amin. Thank You at umabot kami sa term. 🙏🙏🙏
* as for Maam Pixie naman, I was able to insert her pessary once dumating yung bagong stocks. She is currently at 33 4/7 weeks. 🥰
