Short cervix and UTI
Show your support
It’s called incompetent cervix. You should ask doctor about receiving a cerclage. It’s a stitch that helps keep the cervix closed until the baby is supposed to be born. I experienced it 3 times (lost two children due to them being born early because of it) but I have one in with my current pregnancy and I’m experiencing no issues.
@Nicole My Doctor said I don’t qualify for cerclage yet because it not under 15mm
How many weeks are you?
@Nicole what were your measurements and how early did you had your two babies if you don’t mind me asking? I’m sorry for your losses 🥺
22.5 weeks
@Gigi thank you. 17 weeks & 24 weeks. I’m not sure I just went into early labor, they couldn’t stop the contractions because my cervix was already shortening. & with the 24 week old I had an emergency c-section bc I was dilating & she was still breeched
@Nicole it must have been really tough, I can’t even imagine. I’m glad you have a healthy baby on it’s way 💖 my last scan I was having contractions which seem to be normal throughout the whole pregnancy but I couldn’t really feel anything. They just prescribed me progesterone. I pray every day and believe everything will be just fine 🙏🏽💖
@Gigi appreciate it🤍 congratulations to you!! When is your due date?
@Nicole sept 15th 🙏🏽
I was also diagnosed with short cervix and taking progesterone as well (vaginally). Although mine has been steadily about the same measurement, my doctor did tell me that a full bladder might make cervix a little smaller. I don’t know facts, it’s just my experience and what I was told I hope it helps!
