Hi ladies,
If you have or had a shortening cervix or PTL issues, did you have any warning signs (even if in hindsight)?
My cervix had shortened at 18 weeks to about a 3, but my doctors weren't concerned since total length was still longer than 2.5. I have my next MFM appointment next week. He has told me to pay attention to any stomach muscle tightening that lasts longer than 30 seconds with 4 or more episodes in an hour.
Did you have any other warning signs? I know I'm being paranoid, but I'm just worried about having further cervical changes and not realizing that anything is going on. I'm also having some general discomfort and pains, but I think it's just the weight of the babies (as I'll feel the baby move and then the pain goes away).
Thanks!
