Incompetent Cervix

I was diagnosed last night with having an incompetent cervix due to trauma. Is there anything they can do besides the cerclage around 14 weeks to make sure the babies are ok. I was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix with my daughter but i was alot further along than i am now, i was well in my 2nd trimester when my cervix starting thinning out. I am so scared because i dont want to loose the twins.

I just read this post bellasmom2011 and it made me feel sad :( I'm so sorry you have to go thru this. I was in the hospital last week all week due to having pnemonia and each day I got more and more depressed becsause I would spend all day alone so I know that feeling. Just know that u can talk to me if u need to . I'm here . As for not having your husband with you I pray he can make it home to u asap so u can feel more comfort . Ill keep u in my thoughts and prayers :)

bedrest and the cerclage are they best things they can to do for you . I was given a shot to prevent perterm labor up until about two weeks ago but tthat was because i had allergic reaction to the shot . I know how scary this all is and i will keep u in my thoughts and prayers wishing u the best of luck. I would also ask the  why they are making u wait i know someone who had a cerclage done at 12 wks but again they didnt find my cervix issue until 20 wks and by the they werent going to be able to do it  and i have had to spend  the past 13 wks on complete bedrest granted i get to be home  on bedrest  again good luck  to you

i am so sorry you are going through this....what did your doc say? did they recommend bedrest? 3 weeks is a long time to wait and if i were in your shoes i would be worried too....
