18 weeks, 1 day

This is going to be short since I have kids coming in in about 5 minutes...

The minor complication is my cervix. It's slightly shorter (thinner?) than they would like it to be. For right now we're taking a wait-and-see approach, with a re-check in about 6 weeks. Other than that, things look good. I just need to take it easy, which isn't a problem. :-) Please keep us in your prayers! This is slightly stressful.

Your cervix shortens and lengthens normally throughout the day. So sometimes it will measure less than at other times.

My perinatologist (ob specialist) said that they typically like to see 3 cm. Mine strted shortening around 26 weeks, which is early and it is scary. But mine also never changed alot after the initial shortening. My doc recommended keeping your feet up whenever you can, drinking lots of water and to not go for unnecessary walks. If it gets to short, they might put you on bedrest or do a cerclage. But all of this is managemeable and Bob won't be able to tell a thing.

You're in our thoughts....
