16 week scan, short cervix and funnelling

It’s great they’ve caught onto it early, and hopefully there’s something they can do.
If they’ve seen funnelling and your cervix has shortened, they’ll likely talk about options like a cerclage or progesterone, in order to make sure your cervix doesn’t continue to thin entirely and encourage premature labour.
I had a baby a month early, surgery on my cervix and so have had a couple of cervical length checks in this pregnancy. I haven’t experienced shortening, but I have been on progesterone since 7 weeks and am taking until I’m 36 weeks, which the consultant told me can be as effective as a cerclage and would hopefully prevent any shortening.
I can imagine if was really scary to be told, but hopefully they can reassure you. Good luck x

No advise but good luck I hope you get some reassurance soon x

Thank you, I’ve been told I have to stay overnight and have emergency surgery tomorrow morning to have a stitch on my cervix. It’s 15ml and funnelling when I cough so it’s urgent in a sense I will most likely miscarry. Just in such shock

Ahhh Lydia, I’m keeping everything crossed for you. I really hope you make it to surgery and it helps. I don’t sleep well and I’m sure you won’t tonight so if you need someone to chat to please reach out x

thank you so much, feel so scared and shocked. I have a 6 month old and my poor partner is terrified. Thought I’d be able to go home but they want to monitor me and get me in to surgery first thing

This happened to me 4 weeks ago! I went for a scan to check my length and my son was born early. I was already in progesterone. So the only option I had was a stitch. Which happened the next day. Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to xx

I know it's scary, but knowing about this should definitely be seen as a positive. Preventing preterm birth clinics where women other risk factors are scanned regularly haven't been around for more than a few years! Prior to this, it was based on previous history or incidental scan findings.
Cerclages work really well. They're usually removed at around 36 weeks.
Good luck lovely. Definitely try and see this as a bonus that it's been found and managed! X

hope your out of surgery and doing ok x

thank you for checking in,
I’m doing all okay just waiting to be discharged in the next few hours hopefully. Did you have like period cramps sort of thing after? Xx

Unfortunately we lost our little angel baby today at 17 +2 😭

I’m so very sorry to hear this 💔
