I have what they call an incompetent cervix,  which puts me at high risk for preterm labor or late miscarriage.  Unfortunately,  with this condition a woman loses 1 or more pregnancies before its determined thats what's wrong with her. I lost my 1st baby at 22 wks pregnant,  my cervix dilated or gave way due to it being too weak to sustain the preg. I delivered a baby boy just over a pound, the doc told me if I would've delivered a wk or so later the baby may lived :( I became pregnant  a year later and had a cerclage put in at 16 wks & on strict bed rest. My doc removed the cerclage at 37 wks and I went into labor the next day & delivered a 6 lb 5.8 oz baby girl! I went on over the next decade to have 2 more miscarriages, both during the 1st trimester. Here I am again 13 yrs after the birth of my daughter 28 wks preg baby girl #2! This time my doc put in the cerclage at 14 wks, so far no bed rest & still working! So do what you gotta do and good luck!

Hey, I was on progesterone 200mg since 27 weeks as my cervix was only measuring .8cm. I was pit onto bedrest, but have good news for you. I am now 36+6, stopped taking my progesterone at 35 weeks and my cervix got down to .5 cm. I am no longer on bedrest and am awaiting the arrival of my little girl. There is every chance that you will go to full term. Good luck
