short cervix 2nd pregnancy
so i'm 24 weeks pregnant tomorrow, this is my second pregnancy. my first one i had a short cervix and made it to 41 weeks only being on modified bed rest and progesterone. i just started progesterone again but i genuinely have no help my husband works long hours and so does my family, so i have a toddler who's a lot, running around and i just cannot even sit most of the time unless she's literally asleep. i feel like im pushing myself so much this time, and the doctors are being so harsh even more than last time their not being positive at all, telling me if i don't lay down all day and like stop everything im going to go into labor despite making it to 41 weeks last pregnancy. i just feel like im failing everything right now, every day has been so hard. im looking for some support, or if anyone has gone through their second pregnancy with a short cervix and a toddler ?

Hi, I had a short cervix with my second. Luckily my mum did help but I did put my little into pre school for two mornings to so I could get some rest. They tried to give me the stitch but couldn’t so I ended having an Arabin pessary, maybe you could ask about that x
Hi I made it to 40 weeks and had a really fast labour!! Yes was on progesterone until 37 weeks x
My first was born spontaneously at 23 weeks, so I’m now going through my second pregnancy (high risk) with a 4 year old who does not stop!! I’m on progesterone too. I’m currently 27weeks and although I’ve been discharged from the pre term clinic. I’ve got an appointment at 28 weeks to measure my cervix again for reassurance.
Try taking it easy, I know it’s easier said than done! Are you able to get a reassurance scan, what was your cervix measuring at your last appointment? Xx
