Anyone else with a pessary

So my DS was born at 27 weeks and I'm now 25+4 with twins. Because of my hx I've been getting weekly U/S since 22 weeks for cervical length. Yesterday it was 1.1cm (2.5 a week ago) with significant funnelling. I had a pessary inserted to help support my cervix, and got a dose of steroids (my second is this afternoon). I'm still on MBR at home.

Any other pessary experiences? Like everything else with twins there doesn't seem to be a lot of research.

No personal experience, but I use to fit pessaries for work.

No, there is not a lot of data, but every bit of support on the pelvic floor helps. Definitely worth the try!

No experience here but I'm curious as well. So far my cervix has been cooperative following a scare early on, but my OB mentioned this as an option should it start to shorten. Hope yours makes a difference and keeps those babies where they need to be!

Thanks ladies! Hoping to make it at least into the new year, which would make it 30 weeks - modest goals at this point!!
