I just had an U/S to check my cervix because my last baby was born at 31 weeks. They said my cervix is 3.5mm but is starting to funnel. I am wondering if anyone else had this happen and what your course of treatment and outcomes are. I am thinking I should go on 2 weeks U/S checks but I am not sure if I am a candidate for bedrest or not. Any insights or thoughts are appreciated.
They found my funneling at my anatomy scan ~20w and recommended biweekly checks and bed rest. I was not satisfied w/this and went to an MFM. She recommended progesterone supps and twice weekly checks. It was on the third of these that I was dilating and got an emergency cerclage @ 21 1/2 wks.
Not to freak you out, but if I had waited 2 wks to go back to the OB, I could have very well have lost my babies. You don't say how far along you are, but I would definitely be proactive, since funneling/dynamic can go downhill quickly, even on bedrest. Best of luck.

I am 24 weeks so I think I am too late for a cerclage. I am going to see MFM on Monday for a full work up. I have been put on half time at work and told to take it really easy until Monday.
definitely take it easy and relax at home for the weekend.
after complaining about the pelvic pressure for a couple of weeks and a trip to l&d where i had the nurse check me twice and a dr check me said my cervix was soft and funneling but suggested calling the dr on monday morning for an u/s and i did. had a u/s tuesday and was found to have a dynamic cervix with funneling at 28 weeks. I was in the hospital for a week sent home for a week went to dr appt put back in for a week because i was 2 cm dilated. the dr was surprised that i made it to 36 weeks when i went in for the induction and was already 5 cm dilated.
