cervix

when I went in at 12 weeks for bad cramping/contractions my cervix measured 4.7 cm which is very long! It just needs to be above 2.5. In a singleton pregnancy it starts to go below 2.5 after 32 weeks.

At my 15 wk US my cervix measured 3.3 cm. This is still good but it was a rapid drop from 4.7 in only 3 weeks time.

My doc says it's fine and not to worry, just to take it easy but no real restrictions at this time.

I just hope it doesn't continue to get shorter. My next check will be at 19 weeks.

I am terrified of preterm labor! No preemies for me please!
