Cervix length with twins. (Tw)
Do any of you out there have a history with a shortening cervix? I'm currently 15w 6d with twins. I just had my 3rd cervix length check and I was measuring 3.47, which I know is still good but the two previous weeks I was 4.1. The doctor basically told me there's nothing they can do for me and told me if it does continue to shorten just prepare myself for another loss. I left my appointment in tears. This particular mfm practice won't place cerclages with multiple pregnancies.
I'm currently on progesterone suppositories which he said is the only thing they would do for me anyways.
I had a loss at 16 weeks previous with a single baby. They still don't know what caused me to lose her, but don't believe it was incompetent cervix.

As I said, everyone is different, but for me the short length has not been an issue. Best of luck!!
They repeated the cervix checks for awhile until I was too far along for it to really tell them much.
I watched when the tech did measurements and we agreed it would funnel and shorten when my DD, who was head down, would be pushing her head down into it. We explained it to my doctor and she agreed it was a possibility. Maybe look to see if this *could* be it? Or at least causing a bit of the issue?
I'm sorry, I don't remember the lengths anymore to compare for you and I'm extremely sorry for your loss.
For us, the cervix ended up not being an issue. My blood pressure spiked and they found out I had preeclampsia at 35 w 4 d and needed a c section right away.
I hope everything works out for you. You'll be in my thoughts. I'd look into your insurance to try and find another mfm around you for another opinion.
