Borderline cervix

Got diagnosed with a borderline short cervix at 25.7mm due to an emergency c section at 9cm with my previous pregnancy. They didn’t prescribe anything just check it again in 2 weeks. Has anyone else had similar? Should I ask for progesterone?

How far are you in pregnancy?

Hi there, mine was 23mm at 17 weeks. They could not tell me for sure if that's just a structural thing due to my uterine septum, or if it was damage from removing this septum a few months ago. They gave me progesterone and monitored weekly until 24 weeks when they discharged me. All this time cervix stayed the same length but still nobody is sure if that's going to open prematurely or not, time will tell.

Hiya they also said mine was borderline at 24.6mm but did prescribe progesterone and check in 2 weeks. I would ask for the prescription to be on the safe side x

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.
