Preterm Labor: Anything and Everything / Re: Shortening cervix after cerclage

« on: August 17, 2018 at 01:41 PM »

Hello,
I am 32 weeks today. My doctors stopped checking my cervix awhile ago. So, I do not know the exact measurements.

Four weeks until they remove the cerclage and I can stop taking the progesterone shots!

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. My doctor said that my cervix is closed and that it looks like my stitch is holding.

Preterm Labor: Anything and Everything / Shortening cervix after cerclage

« on: July 01, 2018 at 04:35 PM »

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on this forum. A little background, I had my first son at 35 weeks and 5 days after my water broke 2 days before I delivered him. That was 3.5 years ago. 
I am currently 25 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I had a cerclage placed a little less then 4 weeks ago. When I had it placed my cervix was around 2.5 cm. I have had lots of tightening and some pain. 1.5 weeks ago I was measured at 1.5 - 1.3 and I'm funneling to the stitch. I was placed on modified bed rest. I was just wondering if it is typical for the cervix to shorten after the cerclage was placed or if I should be concerned.
Thank you for reading the long post!
