Aa
just a question
At my 16week and 1day appointment they checked my cervixs for any dilation and it was 4.5cms witch they said its good and then at my appointment Friday they checked baby she was growing fine and very active and my cervixs was at 3.4cms is it ok does it look like its gone down they said it it was anywhere by 2.something then that wouldn't be good and then they will give me a stitch but I'm just worried abit
You are alright your cervix has to move and shift I wouldn't be too concerned and is completely normal for you to tear and rip. Stitches it is also normal they mostly used dissolving ones
My cervix is completely closed... I don't think its supposed to be open this soon.. :/
I'm 21+2
I'm 21+2
No read it again I said at my 16week and 1day appointment they said my cervixs was nice and long at 4.5cms witch is good and then at my appointment Friday they checked babys growth and she's growing fine and they checked my cervixs and they said that its at 3.4cms apparently everythinks good but I'm just worried as I'm 20weeks and 4days I've only got 8days until I'm 21+6days witch is when I losted my baby girl in November at that week
And I think I've got an infection because its stinging down below and inside I even rang the hospital aswell and they said I need to ring my gp in the morning but I don't wanna wait that long I have swabs done every 2weeks to check for infections and I have scans to check on my baby I'm high risk and to check on my group b STREP sometimes my discharge looks green but I'm not sure but sometimes its white my swab came back normal but I no sonthings not right
Im 37 weeks and 3 days and my cervix has not been checked and neither has my midwife mentioned anything about checking it and my next appointment will be when i am 39 weeks
Sorry just seen this... you should go to your maternity hospital and see someone in there.
I'm in Ireland they've a little er room in the maternityhhospital for under 24weeks or you go delivery suit if over 24.
I really think you should go hospital by the time u see ur gp you and I both know he will send u t hospital.
I'd go just to make sure all is ok.
The other girls here can't use the hospital like we can coz America uses insurances etc..
its completely different that why I asked were u are from.
I reckon go get checked hunni you'll only be a hour there xxx

ash060115 I'm from UK and I go to the women's hospital and they no my history with my 3 pregnancys they use a speculum to open up and look I don't like the finger checking I hate it I I asked my dad if his driving and he said no and I told him I might be having concrations and thY and he didn't even ask his people for a lift and I asked my mom and they said both said phone ambulance and I said I can't because I'm at my boyfriends moms house and I prefer someone to drive me or otherwise I had to catch bus and thats a risk I'm not bleeding or my waters haven't broke but having that sort of stitch sort of pain that felt like it was in my chest aswell
Tell them you want a wet mount slide done!! I have been dealing with preterm labor since 21 weeks and just found out I have a std called trichomoniasis!! It is the most common one but apparently they don't check for it!! I have had it for years and never know they just kept tell me I had yeast infections
I wouldnt have a std/trichomoniasis I've been checked before I got pregnant and during witch they do at 12week appointment and I have swabs done and I'm clear and I've only slept with 1 person witch is my boyfriend of 4years and he isnt like that either so I don't know I will ask for it thow just to check what does it include and how do they do it
So they didn't check you for dilation then right? They checked the length of your cervix... it's perfectly normal for cervix to shorten a lil bit over time, as long as it's not below a 2 I think it's okay. If it's too short, you'd have what's called an incompetent cervix which could pose danger to the baby. But I wouldn't worry if the drs are not worried. because the thing with these measurements is that there is a lot of deviation. slightly off could mean huge in terms of numbers. And depends on who's doing it, you could get different results too.
