24wks n funneling - what to expect

BethStacy

I went to my bi-wkly check up today to find my cervix has shortened further and I'm showing signs of funneling. I'm 2cm and I had a preventative cerclage put in at wk 14 for 2 previous loses from what we're guessing is an IC. I am on progesterone supplements that I take daily and have been on modified bed rest since 17Wks. after today's visit the doctor sent me to L&D to get a steroid shot to help the lung development. i feel like there is nothing left and I'm just beaten. Does anyone know if there is much else that can be done besides sit and wait?

Sounds like you might need to be prepared for stricter bed rest. This was a waiting game for me when I had DS. I just did everything I could to follow the doctor's orders and keep DS in as long as possible. (We made it to 36 weeks.)

I showed signs of funneling last week {23 weeks} and was put on progesterone suppositories and placed on bed rest as well.

Unfortunately all we can do is sit and wait. My doctor said at a minimum I need to bake the baby for 10 more weeks. Eek!
