I jus found out today and even though I have cerclage im still nervous cause anything can happen even with it. Hope my lil guy can stay in long enough!
@USMCwifemommy101107 Its a stitch tied around my cervix to keep it closed...an thanks. @TricesBaby Thanks. I get weekly injections to prevent preterm labor but they dont seem to be working. I just have the stitch holding my cervix closed.
I'm praying for you and your baby. Last week I was 1.7 with funneling next week I find out if I'm dilated and I hope I'm not b/c I'm only 24 weeks. But again you will be in my prayers...
Prayers being sent hun, question though, why are you not on bed rest? That's usually hand and hand with a cerclage and you should e now especially since you're 2cm dilated.
I have a cerclage as Well it was placed on March 7 I was 16wks I'm now 31wks n I haven't had any problems since I hope dat my babii hold out until next Month n good luck to u as well...@Proudmum
One of my coworkers just had her twins at 24.5 weeks and they are actualy doing amazingly well...in the NICU of course...but doing good. Hang in there!
Oh, goodness.! Sweetheart, you and your little one are in my thoughts and prayers. My nephew was born at 21 weeks, so I know how difficult the process can be! Today, he's a healthy 2 yr old and mean as ever...! I hope your little one holds off, at least for 6-8 more weeks.! Good Luck..
Good luck mama & im prayin for u as well. I have a cerclage & gettin those 17p injections as well. Ur story has me scared cause I thought I was in da safe zone.....keep us updated
Aww I hope the injections work for you and your baby. I didn't know you can still dilate with the cerclage. I was told I also have a weak cervix and might need to get the stitch as well. I will be only 20wks in a few days. Do they know why you started to dilate? I looked up weak cervix and I cant find a reasom why this is happening to us. I do wish you luck
@Trisharose I started my injections at 18wks so I dont think they r working for me. They said sometimes the body jus does what it wants to do no matter what they do. @bri2186 Thanks for the insight.
@Proudmum Strict bed rest. Had an appt today and my funneling is closing up. Keep your feet on a pillow and when your laying on your side put a pillow in between your knees. Doctor told me to do this and it seems to be working wonders for me!!! #:-s
@proudmum you will be in my prayers...but keep ur head up I went in preterm labor w our 1st at 21weeks and w meds and bedrest he didn't come out till 37wks and 3days...and I needed pitocin then to help keep contractions regular I guess he'd changed his mind lol keep faith and rest a lot! Good luck!

Funneling is when your cervix
starts opening from the
inside.
