Short Cervix - how short?

Just curious how long I can stay pregnant.

 My cervix was 0.7 cm last check.  Practically gone.  I've been on hospital bedrest for 2 weeks now.  How long can I go?

Any good stories?

    Mine was 0.7 at 27w.  I went on hospital bedrest for a week and remeasured.  It was 1.1cm  I got to go home on bedrest.  A week later it was 1.5cm and I 'm still pregnant.  It has been 4 weeks since I've been on bedrest.  It's possible.  I was in the same boat and soooo scared for a bit.  Just relax, do what the docs tell you and focus on keeping the LO cooking.  A lot of the girls here are great support and got me through my scared sh**less phase.  Set small goals and celebrate each day!

    My cervix has been .5 since I was 22 weeks, I just think of everyday as a blessing at this point. Good luck to you!

    Thanks!   My DH will be glad to hear this.  He's worried more than I am, I think.  The NICU NP came to discuss what would happen if DS is a preemie today, and I just have been thinking ever since if there is ANYTHING I can do to prevent that, I will.

     I'm glad I found this board.

    At 27 weeks I got a measurement of .6 cm.  At 28 weeks it was up to about 1.2 cm, and it stayed up there.  I am still pregnant and have been off of bedrest for 1.5 weeks without going into labor.  I may have no cervix, but whatever I have seems to be doing the job!

    Mine was that same length last time they checked at 28 weeks. I'm still at home on bedrest, no sign of labor! Hang in there, you can make it. :)

    Wow, that brings a lot of hope to me! Do you get to stay at home on bedrest?

    I was on hbr from 22 to 30 weeks and now I am home. There are a lot of success stories on this site: https://community.babycenter.com/groups/a619715/cervical_disorders

    But you are doing so well 28 weeks is truly amazing, and I am sure you will get much further.
