Forum: Incompetent Cervix - Cervical Issues

Hey everyone. So, first, a condensed version of our story. My wife and I lost a pregnancy with our son Joseph at 16+6 back in 2010 due to unexplained PPROM. After a year or so of unexplained infertility, and some failed Clomid cycles, she got pregnant with injectibles + IUI with twins in...

So the good news is that I'm 35 weeks tomorrow (YAY!) My cerclage is still holding and I'm about 1-2cm dilated and really soft. Length is still good though. But I've been having crampy contractions all day and am debating whether or not to go in. The Dr said at this point if I were to go into labor...

So I have this phobic-like issue with anything being done to my cervix. Probably because I have endo and even bd hurts, so the idea of anything more than a pap smear (which in itself makes me queasy, especially if it's done around my period) is awful. Anyways, I had my cervix manually dilated for a...

Hi everyone! I'm Sarah, and I'm currently pg with identical twins, 6wk 4d..so very early still. I had a LEEP procedure on Nov 8th due to having high grade cervical lesions. Thankfully it appears that they removed it all, since the exam of the tissue showed tissue around the lesion was normal. I...

I have 8 weeks to go (friggin 2 more months of this). This weekend a co worker came over to visit and acted as if I was...

I had my twins at 31 weeks after my cervix began shortening and funneling at 22 weeks. At 22 weeks I was put on bed rest, procardia and progesterone suppositories until I gave birth at 31 weeks 3days. I am now 14 weeks pregnant with a singleton and am very worried about having an incompetent...

Hi, I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I've been on bed rest since I was 21 weeks. My peri told me last week that I would be on bed rest until 36 weeks. Ok, I am so sad and depressed about it but that's a whole other story. You can read about the hard time I am going through on my blog at...

I am 21 weeks pregnant with twins. I had a cerclage placed at 18 weeks when my cervix was measuring at 2.5 cm. Last week, I went in to my doctor's and my cervix was measuring at 1.6 cm. I had been on modified bedrest and now he's placed me on strict bedrest. I'm really freaking out about this...

So, I recently posted the story of my first pregnancy in the following thread: http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/incompetent-cervix-cervical-issues/688713-ic-cerclage-success-stories.html This is my second pregnancy... I have been lucky enough to not lose a child to my IC thus far, but I've...

Hello, I was placed on strict bed rest by my peri due to a shortening cervix that is funneling. I had a cerclage placed three weeks ago( at 21 weeks). My cervix funneled to a 2.3 before the cerclage and to a 2.1 after the cerclage. Anyway, was told my my dr that I have to drink a gallon of water a...

Hello, I am new to this forum but have already found it to be extremely helpful! I am currently 23 weeks pregnant on complete bedrest. Last year I had a twin pregnancy that turned out to be a "partial molar" pregnancy that ended in a d&c. After the d&c my hcg levels were still super high, over...

I've been thinking of you ladies!! Please update when you can. I hope that everything is still going well.

Hey Ladies! I've had my cerclage since week 13, now week 18+ and my doctors don't seem to think that I need bedrest since losing one of my twins. I feel good, some occasional cramping but nothing alarming. I see the doctor weekly and the peri bi-weekly and all have been great. Cervix is...

Hi all, I had rescue cerclage 9 days ago at exactly 21 weeks. I went in for an ultrasound because I felt some pelvic discomfort, no pain or cramping. Tech told me that my cervix is open and I need to go to L&D right away. That night I had 1 stitch placed. I was 1cm dilated and I remember...

I had a shortened non-funneled cervix going down to 2.0 at my last measurement at 24 weeks. Did 4 months of bed rest and vaginal prometrium. Delivered exactly 38 weeks. We are thinking about TTC in the new year. Is there a recommended wait time for the cervix to recover? Thanks!

I am currently 16 weeks pregnant with twins. For the last month, my cervical length has decreased from 5 cm, to 4 cm and most recently 3.6 cm on Friday. My high-risk OB put me on bedrest and I'll go back again today, Tuesday, to re-check the length. If things haven't improved or have gotten worse,...

I had my cerclage placed yesterday and the procedure itself was not too bad. I had general anesthesia and had minor pain afterwards. Before the procedure we were shocked to learn that one of our babies had stopped growing and there was no heartbeat. I was sick to my stomach. Over the weekend we had...

*****Post mentioning pregnancy loss************ Hi girls, I hope you are all well. Yesterday I went to a peri to discuss about the loss of our twin girls (21 weeks). The doctor at the hospital told me I have an IC and that was the reason for the early labor. It was the first time I heard...

Hello friends: I'm having a preventive cerclage placed on Tues. and I have to decide whether to have general or spinal anesthesia. I was leaning toward general but the anesthesiologist said that most people get spinal because it's relatively less complicated but that general would not harm the...

Last week cervix was over 3 cm and I have a TAC. I am still on bed rest but have gotten up a little more to grab food, etc. Nothing crazy. Tonight he is breech and it feels like he is trying to break out. Worried my cervix has shortened to nothing with how strong his kicks are on my cervix....

Hi all, I've been reading over the various threads in this forum and am so heartened by all the success stories... and hoping I'll be one of them! I have a 13 month old little boy and while pregnant with him my cervix shortened to 0.7cm so I was in hospital from weeks 25-34. I didn't have a...

I've been wondering how you are doing, as I have not heard from you in awhile. I hope that everything is ok and that you are just resting and baking those precious babies of yours! Please update when you can. Tasha

******WARNING: Pregnancy loss and DD MENTIONED******* I've been thinking alot about my pregnancy with my DD lately. To quickly summarize...I had two D&Cs for missed miscarriages and a uterine septum resection. My cervix was 2.9 at 15 weeks, shortening down to 2.0 at 24 weeks with no...
