Sucks to be back here again...
Everything has been going so well. I've been feeling great and cervix has been measuring long and closed. As of yesterday I was put on bed rest b/c my cervix was 2.4-2.1cm and funneling. It happened a lot sooner this time around and I'm a lot more nervous this time around. With Zach it happened at 25 weeks and was on bed rest for 12 weeks....this time it is looking like 16 weeks =( Not sure how I'm going to do it with a very active little boy at home. Prayer needed!!!

Re: Sucks to be back here again...
Yeah I agree...sorry you have to be here. It's not great but you do what you have to do.
If you can get a list of people who can perhaps pop in at various times during the day, that could help. Failing this, have everything accessible for your little one on the floor near where you will be lying. Change him on the floor, feed him on the floor, even have him nap on the floor. Perhaps have your H prepare snacks for you and feeds for the baby the night before so you can reduce your time standing in the kitchen.
Oh and don't forget to gate off dangerous areas in the house where you don't want to have to keep chasing your little one away.
Be well and let us know how you're doing.
I'm sorry you are here
At my 17w check-up, my cervix was 2.9 and 2.7 with pressure. A week later I was feeling so uncomfortable and it was down to 1.9
I have now being seeing MFM's and we have been getting measurements between 2.3 and 2.9.
After my 1.9 measurement, I got put on progesterone and modified bedrest. I have a 3.5 year old and a 15 month old at home, so I feel your pain. You do what you have to do. We can't afford help 24/7 and my DH works almost 70 hours a week. My mom is in the area, but she is not that reliable and my MIL leaves out of state. My OB's said to just rest as much as possible and sit whenever I can. I have stopped doing housework and am trying not to pick up the kids, but I still cook them their meals because when no one is here to cook, I can't let them starve
Just listen to your body. When the boys are playing, I sit on the floor with them or in our glider (which is in our playroom). We watch movies together (too much TV watching going on lately!) or we sit at the table and do crafts together.
Probably a bit more than I should be doing, but my children still need my attention.
GL!
That does suck & I know at 21 weeks (i think that's what your ticker said) that the feeling of not being 'viable' SUCKS. I haven't been able to treat bedrest this time around anything like I did last time around with Peyton + her Dr. Appt's & Mine.
I was highly disappointed when I found out at 20 weeks that we had issues, as I was given a very low (exact words were slim to none) chance of anything placenta wise going wrong again.
I don't know much about IC but did you decide against having a cerclage or something to that effect placed this time around? Or did the dr's not think it was necessary. JW.
