10mm cervix- Looking for support
Hi there,
I saw MFM today as I had a preterm baby at 34 weeks after sustaining a fall. Basically they assumed that my preterm labor was in relation to this, but I just got some bad news today that seems to show otherwise. I'm only 22 weeks and only 2 weeks ago my cervix was almost 4 cm (so very much normal) and today it as only 10 mm. I have not had any cramping, have not done anything different activity wise, etc so to find out this news was complete and total shock.
Basically I follow up in 1 week and they are putting me on vaginal progesterone suppositories in the mean time. If it gets any worse, I'll be hospitalized. They basically didn't give me any hope and at times point I likely won't even make it to a viable spot. I guess I don"t know how to feel or what I'm looking for. I've given up and am trying to accept the fact that now we will likely lose this baby and I will no longer have this child. If anyone else has gone through something similar, I would love to hear you story for support. Thank you so much.
UPDATE: So the day I was told about my shortened cervix I ended up seeing 2 providers because one had to be pulled to care for another patient. I found out yesterday that my cervix was 20mm NOT 10mm...and I had another u/s done after the first 20 mm reading for a second opinion with a different doctor. It basically read the same (21mm) and so I discussed a cerclage with him. He told me if it would get down to the 1cm/10mm spot then we would discuss a cerclage, but at this point he thinks a cerclage is too risky and has started me on vaginal progesterone and modified bedrest. If I make it, I will be 23 weeks tomorrow.
