Re: Re: Advice needed on when to start TTC: UU/BU/SU

[Guest guest]

Gabi

Thank you for your helpful message. Contratulations on

your little boy.

1) You said your boy was born at 33 weeks. That must

have been difficult. How is he now?

2) My RE (high risk specialist) says the median term

for a uterus like mine is 31 weeks (I don't know if he

means a UU, BU or SU - but on my medical

advice/summary letters he calls it a UU and sometimes

at BU). He has recommended a cervical stitch and

finishing work at 29 weeks. If you had your time

again, would you have had a stitch or gone onto

bedrest to avoid pre-term labour?

I hope to hear from you. Thanks again.
