I had my one week follow up today from my cervix issue last week. The result is the best we could hope for! My cervix measured a little bit longer at 3.1cm and then a short time later, he got a reading of 3.4 (longer is better --the doctor likes it to be above 3.5, however he will accept all the way down to 2.5), We start running into issues when the cervix number is at 2.0 or below.
Plus, I am not "funneling" like I was last week. YAY!! Good news. Funneling is the thinning of the cervix from the uterine side which could throw you into pre-term labor.
He is continuing me on the "modified" bedrest which means I can work but when I'm not working, I should be laying down or sitting. Laying is better than sitting. The order from best to worse is: laying, sitting, standing, walking. He said, "Your exercise days are over." Boooo. I will have to suck it up later to get back in shape!
I do not need a cerclage (pronounced, sir-clauge). That is also GREAT news. A cerclage is a stitch they put up inside your cervix to keep it shut.
I have a follow up to review my cervix again in 2 weeks on June 4th. At this time, he will determine if I can travel to MI for my first shower in Kalamazoo on June 14th. I might be taking one of those carts from gate to gate! And I will be very happy to do it. :-)
