I found out as my cervix was funneling so it was basically weakening under the pressure of the baby, i would recommend always getting your cervix measured and making sure your staying within the 3.5-5cm (or what your gyno says is safe) just to be confident in your pregnancy
Thats exactly what im doing at the moment i have the cerclage and just got a scan today

Currently I'm on bed rest, just try to be careful don't do too much. If u feel any discomfort go to the doctor. Last week I was in the hospital in preterm labor I was only 25 weeks at the time. They had to give me magnesium to stop labor and steroid shots for the baby lungs. I wish u ladies a safe pregnancy we're almost there.

I have an incompetent cervix also, when I went for my 20 week scan I was told my cervix was short so the doctor told me to go to the hospital immediately. When I get to the hospital and they check my cervix it was actually open the doctor told me she could see the baby membrane. The next day I did the cerclage,  so far it's holding up.
