Cervix

Hi everyone! I just wanted to know if there was anyone else similar to my situation, my cervix is on the shorter side measuring 27mm at 21.5 weeks pregnant which has started to make me concerned although my midwife has told me not to worry unless it’s <25mm. Anyone else had this problem?

My friend had same issue but not sure of the number of the mm now .but she was told she couldn't give normal birth, so it was a compulsory c-section for her..if your midwife says you should not worry about it, then it means that you are good to go..goodluck

Hiya, I had 28mm. She said it was totally fine, average is 30mm. She said they only start to get concerned at 25mm. My report says no risk of preterm labour as a result of my cervix measurement xx

no they haven’t offered me routine checks as it’s just above 25mm and still technically ‘normal’, but I will be asking for them to be safe!

Hi Everyone, where can you get a cervix measurement? Do they just offer you one at the midwife appointment or do you have to ask?

hi, I don’t think it’s routine to offer it. I believe it’s if there are underlying reasons, in my case I had a LEEP procedure so a chunk of my cervix was removed 3 years ago xxx

I had this 10 years ago and have my first consultant appointment next week. I think this is what it’s about. How do they measure it? Is it something I need to booked in specifically for? It’s not at my local hospital but the one I’ll give birth at

they do a trans vagina ultrasound, it’s not painful just slightly uncomfortable (a bit like a smear test) and they’re so nice about it. I had mine at the hospital I’d give birth at (the bigger one)

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
