Intro and Question

in High-Risk Pregnancy

Hey everyone!  I am currecntly 13wks with my second pregnancy, first time I have gotten this far though.  I am high risk because of Factor V Leiden, a blood clotting disorder that makes me more prone to clots.  I have had tons of bleeding in the first tri due to three SCHs, but they have disolved/bled out.  So things are going pretty well right now.  It is great to have this board to relate to everyone.  I have a question for you ladies:  Who had to get their cervix measured?  I had a few LEEP procurders about 6 years ago and they want to make sure my cervix is not too short.  My question is, how do they measure it?  I'm assuming ultrasound?  What do they recommend if it is short?  I know all plans of action are different, just want to be a little prepared.  TIA!

    Transvaginal ultrasound. My MFM doc did one at 12 weeks for a "baseline" but said they really weren't as accurate until around 16 weeks. For what it's worth, my first measurement was the same as my twin pregnancy which freaked me out. My latter ones up
