Cervix starting to funnel
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.

Re: Cervix starting to funnel
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.
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
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.
