Short cervix

Has anyone got a short cervix? If so, any advice to keep calm. I had a normal cervix with my first, then had a leepz treatment due to precancerous cells and being told I have a borderline ok cervix for this pregnancy so they will be doing more monitoring!

Hey yes I had a leepz and because of the amount I had taken I’m currently having internal scans every two weeks to keep an eye fingers crossed cervix isn’t to bad at the mo, they have said for me not to lift over 15kg and to have regular sit downs at work

I went into labour at 20 weeks with my first pregnancy.
I’m getting my cervix measured every 2 weeks since week 16.
My cervix was 35mm at 16 weeks and dropped down to 28mm at 18 weeks. I asked for progesterone pills and my 20 week scan showed cervix still at 28mm.

Although it’s not dropped again, I’m terrified, as it’s so short so soon, and I hope I can at least make it to 28 weeks without issues!!! 🤞

Although I’ve got no advice from doctors or midwife. They’re treating me as a normal, no risk pregnancy even with my history of losses and medical conditions.

I’m making the best effort not to lift anything or bend down. And keep my walks/standing short and avoid too many hills and stairs. Although it’s hard as my partner is away for work and I’m living alone and on the 2nd floor and my flat is up a hill!
