Went to my dr appt today and discovered my cervix is shorter than last week, at 10mm now, and I'm dilated 1cm. I know I have read on here before from some of you that you are already dilated. Anyone dilated at or around 27? If so, did you make it pretty far past that?
I do realize everyone is different... but just thought I would ask.
Re: Dilated at 27 wks
They found out I was dilated at 22w5days (less than a cm) and they put me in the hospital for an emergency cerclage. You might be too late for a cerclage at this point- might be too risky.
So, what did your docs say? Were you already doing the prometrium?
GL! And I will be sending T&P's that you keep LO cooking!
Thank you for your stories everyone.It's good to know that it's possible to keep going.
The doctor really didn't say anything new. I've been on bedrest for 6 weeks so he just sent me back home. I didn't have contractions so he wasn't too concerned. When my cervix started shortening at 22 weeks they didn't want to do a cerclage at that point. Even before I got pregnant the peri didn't think a cerclage was relevant in my case... It seems more people have them then not, but I don't suppose it really matters anymore.
What is prometrium? I've been taking progesterone.
Did the dr let you off bedrest at 34 weeks, or have you been there the whole time?
Oh ok. I believe the medication bottle says hydro(something)progesterone. So maybe it is the same, or similar. I just wanted to know if it was something that I would be taking eventually or I should be...
