Aww sorry your having a rough go at things. Ive had problems with a short cervix with both my pregnancies. Mne is caused from a.cranky uterus i basically contract my whole pregnancy until my cervix shortens and begins to open. They base it on an average length of cervix per week. With my first i was put on strict strict bedrest for 12 weeks. Hopefully that helps explain it a little and i hope things get better for you soon.
I'm 16 weeks . I'm not i did want a girl and everyone was telling me it was a girl but I'm over it.
What's stressful about finding out your having a boy?
Well on the bright side congrats that it is a boy! Now you have a little something to be happy about. I am sorry about all the issues you are facing. It is good that your doctor knows and can keep you monitered. It is horrible not having support. I hope your spouse smartens up. You can always talk to us girls. Keep up updated on your progress. How far along are you?
