Anyone else on bed rest whole for whole pregnancy

I was put on bed rest at 20 weeks due to a short cervix and i don't even think it's helping first time they checked my cervix it was at 2.3 now it's at 1.9 it keeps getting shorter and I'm worried he's going to be born way to early I've been just staying at home doing nothing and it's driving me insane. I'm currently 23 weeks and a day, today and go back to the doctor tomorrow afternoon but I don't know what I'm going to be able to do.if it keeps getting shorter.  I really want my son to bake as long as he can but by the looks of it he doesn't want too.

I've had a cerclage in a pervious pregnancy in 2010 but earlier on into the pregnancy. I'm already 23 weeks and my appointment to talk to a specialist isn't until the 2nd. By then I'll be 25 weeks. I'm scared to have it done so late into my pregnancy. :-\

I also have a short cervix. Mine is 2.8. I'm also 23 weeks and 1 day. I am getting a surgery called a cervical cerclage. It were they basically sew up my cervix to prevent early labor. As my daughter grows she will put more pressure on my cervix which can cause early labor. Have they mentioned this procedure to you?

I'm 22w+1d and I was just put on bed rest yesterday for the same thing. My cervix is 2.5 and I'm worried it's going to keep getting smaller. I'm hoping I can keep my daughter in to at least 37 weeks but it's looking like that's not going to happen. I hope everything goes good for you and your son!
