Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Dear Ladies Hello from England! This is my first post, but I am a regular visitor at your excellent and nuturing chat group. I am 31 years old and I have a UU diagnosed by US last year (first picked up when I was 6 weeks pregnant, and confirmed after that pregnancy sadly ended). I am currently 8+5, and fingers crossed! I would so welcome a bit of advice from your group, espcially from any other UU out there. Naturally, I am very anxious about the pregnancy and how it will progress, as I have been told by my obstetrician here that I have an increased chance of premature delivery. I have two specific questions, as in the UK we don't have REs or doctors which specialise in these kind of problems. Sorry to bombard you guys, but any advice would be so much appreciated. 1) What is the standard recommended care that women with a UU receive in the USA during pregnancy? Is a cervical stitch routine? If so, what have been people's experiences of having it? Do people get regular cervical length measurement? If so how often? How about fibronectin testing? I have been recommended to take 8 weeks off work from 20-28 weeks and be at home, resting as much as possible. This seems like good advice, but is this standard? 2) The second thing is that I would love to hear from any UK ladies out there who are currently pregnant with UU or any other MA, especially anyone who lives London. I would really enjoy the nutual support of someone who understands the uncertainity of our situation during pregnancy.
