Hi! I'm 28 weeks pregnant right now, and have a very short cervix. I found out last week that my cervix measured to 6mm, a week before that was 9mm. I'll have another vaginal ultrasound tomorrow. I'm scared that it shortened again. Do any of guys have the same experience as mines?? I have an older son who is 6 years old now & was born on my 36th week, he's doing really good, I'm so glad I didn't deliver so much earlier for him. I'm currently taking the hormone shot (17p). I know the survival rate for my baby right now is high, but I still don't want to deliver early like most of us..due to the baby will be tiny and will require longer hospital stay. I need you guys opinion..I'm always worried everyday..I try not to cry. I just pray and hope that God will answer our prayers. Thanks a Bunch!

Hi! I am only 9 weeks, but am researching this because with my son who is 3 now, I was put on immediate bed rest at 30 weeks. I was in for an ultrasound for the position of my placenta, I was diagnosed with placenta previa at 20 weeks. The placenta had moved. I was elated, and quickly they took me into the office and told me I was in preterm labor with a shortened cervix. I carried my son 40 weeks...in fact I was induced on his due date. I have high hopes that because it was found early I was able to take precautions. Listen to your doctor...stay OFF your feet. I am a teacher and this was very hard for me to go on bed rest, but lookiing back I am grateful my family held me to the bed rest! Good Luck.
