Pessary #???

On Wednesday ended up with my cervix really low and open and bleeding. I called my midwife Linda and asked what I should do. Do I bother going to the hospital or just wait and see. She suggested Put my pessary back in so nothing falls out. 2. Check my urine for a UTI (which I did all ok besides leucocytes at 1 so will push fluids and check tomorrow) 3. Put a pad on and see if blood comes out on the pad. (I was wearing a home made one before out of material and was black) 4. Stay on all 4's try and tilt my cervix back to normal. 5. Take some Metamucil and try and poo normally6. If bleeding keeps going go to hospital after calling her7. Seeing her at 10 am tomorrow for cervix check if tonight goes alright. I put the pessary back in but it kept slipping out so I called the hospital and went in. 2 hours later I was seen and stated I needed to come back in the morning for a new pessary to be put. Told to sit still and not move too much till the next morning

Next day Aaron and I headed in the hospital again and waited again to see the gynecologist who fitted me for a HUGE pessary. Fitted well and baby is fine. He said all was ok. I would need my uterus to be fixed once baby is born and pinned back into the proper position so I don’t get issues in later life.

Unfortunately today pessary came out again. I tried to call the midwife but they haven’t called back yet, not sure what to do. Cervix is open 2 cm easily and I can feel the top of my uterus but the gyny didn’t seem worried. At the moment cervix is nice and high and no bleeding so might let is go for a bit and see what happens.
