30weeks 5 days 90%effaced and 1.5 cm

[babybrown2]

At 28 weeks I had an ultrasound because I was having pressure and cramps in the previous weeks and I was told my cervix has shortened to 2.6 I think that's about 50-60 % effaced ??I was put on pills to help slow things down and have weekly Dr appointments at 29 weeks my cervix changed again to 70% effaced and 1 cm dilated I was placed on bed rest and given a shot to help baby's lungs develop faster. I'm now 30weeks 5 days yesterday was my Dr appointment and my cervix has changed again 90% effaced 1-1.5 cm dilated at this point I dont know what to expect it seems I keep progressing each week I'm so nervous I am hoping baby will stay in at least till I make it to 34 weeks any one else going through something similar or have gone through something similar or even know someone who has or is what was the outcome or how to deal anything  please

I also tested positive for that preterm labor fetal fibronectin test.

I went to l&d on Thursday at 32+6 because I had noticed an increase in bh contractions and less movement of baby. They monitored and I was in preterm labor. I received a shot to try and stop labor that didn't work, I ended up on an iv with fluids and medication, I also was given pills continually for two more days straight and received two shots to help the babies lung development. My Dr needs me to make it to at least 34wks but our goal is 35wks. I'm currently on complete bed rest...hopefully our little ones bake a little bit longer!

That's how I was with my last son. He was born at 37+3 6lbs 2oz and perfectly healthy. Just try and take it as easy to possible.

One of my mates is in the same position. She had hospital rest for 3 weeks, bed rest before that for 2. And the cervix kept getting thinner. Shes made it to 37 and a half w now. Gets induced on Monday. On top of what u ladies have said, pills and shot for babies lungs they gave her pessaries, ie like a suppository but in the vagina, for the cervix. It seemed to make a big difference. All I can advise from her situation is eat as much fat as u can make urself. Nuts avocado, good oils seeds. Even a piece of cake every day. Fatter u get at this stage, the fatter bubs will be, the better the survival chances. Oh, and dont move. except to pee n shower. Less calories u use, more bubs gets. Fingers crossed for you both

I'm 32 weeks and I went L&D last night because I had been having consistent contractions for the last 2 days. I tested positive for the fetal fibronectin and was given a shot to stop the contractions.  Now I'm on strict bed rest and medication to stop future contractions. I'm terrified too... I'm not prepared and still have so much to do. I hope you make it to 34 weeks and are able to take your baby home. Sending prayers and well wishes!
