Hi Nae,

Maybe my cervix changes with pressure because it is so short and when at 8mm I also have funnelling. So When the sonographer presses in a certain way it actually appears to lengthen the cervix, but not by much, maybe about 5mm. I'll take every mm I can get at this point.

Yes, I have been on bed rest for 3 weeks now, since it was discovered (and going mad). I started the pessaries last week, a couple of days before my last scan when I measured 20mm. My ob said he'd like me to stay on them till around 28 weeks and see where to go from there. I am also having weekly scans till 24 weeks, then dropping back to forntightly or monthly.

Bring on that 28 week window!

Best Wishes
Susan
