In L & D! Prayers please! ((UPDATE #2 in post))

Went in for my bi-weekly cervix check and my cervix has shortened from 3.0 to 1.2cm so I got sent to L & D for observation and possibly a cerclage. I'm terrified. 5th pregnancy and no living babies... And at 20w4d he's too little to enter this crazy world.. So please keep me in your thoughts! I'll update as soon as I can.
Update #1:
They had baby and I on a monitor for 30 minutes and no signs of contractions or distress. He was not thrilled with the monitor and was kicking up a storm. Also just had another vaginal sono and they measured my cervix between 1.6 and 2.4 & think I have a dynamic cervix that just is all over the place but they don't like where it is now. Sono showed no sign of dialation however doctor said she may be back to check with her fingers just to be sure. They also said I'll likely be on bedrest the rest of the pregnancy... And back on progesterone and a possible cerclage. The on call OB went off to talk with a high risk doctor and then will be back to officially tell me the plan. So fingers crossed.. But things are as good as they can be so far! Thank you all for the prayers!
Update #2:
So after a manual cervix check and consult with the high risk OB -- I got put back in progestrone and ordered to a week of "taking it easy/couch rest and no work (meaning not strict bed rest, yet.)
I hope I never have to see L & D till 40 weeks. Being in there at 20 weeks felt awful cuz I knew very well that there wasn't much they could do.. Thank God for things being ok for now. Deffinitely going to take it extra easy during the next week untill my follow up high risk doctor doctor/perinatalologist appointment where they'll do another non-stress test and ultrasound to re-check baby and the cervix. For now we are back home resting and he's kicking up a storm as we speak... I hope this is not forshadowing what's in store for me with having a little boy ... cuz i'm gonna have a heart attack by his 1st birthday at this rate
