my wife is 21 wks and we had an abdominal suture inserted last year after 3 failed pregnancies, she is currently experiencing discomforts around the stitch and also uncomfortable feelings in her stomach. We are eager to speak 2 others with the same concerns or that are aware of any useful webs.
thanks

Gareth, due you mean a stitch in the cervix? To prevent miscarriage and early opening of the cervix?
If so I you can get discomfort with the changes in stretch and shape of the cervix as the womb enlarges and also with babies movements. I would check with your midwife/obstrician to be safe as cervical stiches can be ultrasounded to be sure they are still in the right place.
Hope that helps x


Baby no. 2 due on 26/03/2008
