2nd Trimester

prayers please...had to have an emergent cerclage yesterday!!

Little man and I are in need of any and all prayers! I went for our big ultrasound and the tech nervously said that my cervix was incredibly short that we would need to speak to the doctor as soon as she was done taking measurements.  It turns out my cervix is only 15mm and litterally shortened right infront of the tech. I went in to get an emergent cerclage yesterday afternoon and is now on bed rest.  I was told to get to 25 weeks and everyday after that is a blessing from God.

I'm scared out of my mind! Anyone else go or going through this?

TIA!!

  • I'm so sorry you're going through this.  It must be so scary.  T&P for him to stay inside until he's good & ready to face the world.

  • Sending you and your little boy lots of thoughts and prayers.  Keep us updated on how you two are doing!
  • I don't have personal experience with this (honestly just googled it to learn more) & will definitely keep you in my T&Ps.

    GL & keep that LO cooking for as long as you possibly can!


  • I am worried b/c of a previous m/c, but my cervix is fine thus far.

    I had a friend a few years ago that had a m/c at work and lost the baby at 4-4&1/2 months.  Next time she was pregnant (seemed like only 3-4 montsh after) she had a cerlage and she had a BEAUTIFUL baby girl full term.

    G/L and I hope everything will be fine :-)

  • T&P coming your way!  I hope your little boy waits a very long time to make an appearance!!

  • Oh I'm so sorry to hear that hun.  Lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way.  Keep little Mason safe in there. 
  • T & P to you and your little man.  I had one done with my DS.  It was put in at 21 weeks for a short cervix and I was on modified bed rest until 32 weeks.  I carried him to 38 weeks and everything was fine.  Glad they caught it early.

  • I'm so sorry.  Thoughts and prayers definetly with you that he makes it much longer than 25 weeks!  Hang in there little guy! 

    I would also try the high-risk pregnancy board for more support from those who may be going through the same thing.

  • You will definitely be in my T&P's!

  • My stepdaughter was born at 27 weeks for the same thing - incompetent cervix. BUT, they didn't catch her mom's cervix issues until she was already dialating around 24 weeks. It's scary but happens more than you know. She is a thriving, healthy, very happy and very intelligent 3 1/2 year old. Listen to your doctor's and know that medicine is amazing today. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  • T&P for you, LO and DH! Be thankful that they caught it in time and could take steps to help. Now get some rest!

  • Oh, I am so sorry that this is happening. It is great that they caught it and could do something about it. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
  • Sending lots of good thoughts your way! Glad they caught it early, hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here until he is born nice and fat and healthy!
  • I know what you're going though. I have a different condition, and bed rest wont help my condition, but I have been told that my LO is going to be super early too. I'm going to see a specialist soon, but right now, it's an any day now type thing and it is terrifying. T&P for you and your LO.

  • Prayers and thoughts with you and Mason!! I am very worried about this myself. I had a LEEP procedure 10 yrs ago and had to get a cervix check at 16 weeks, will have another one at my 21 week ultrasound next week and then a few times after that (not exactly sure when).

    Hang in there and hopefully Mason will stay inside as close to delivery date as possible!!   

    Did you have any symptoms or realize there was anything the matter or was this a complete surprise?  Either way-- this would be terrifying, I am just curious due to my own situation, so ignore if this is too private to answer.
