Had the second scan yesterday at 21+1, and was (very sensitively) advised of the above after a vaginal scan. I am clinging to 75% chance of delivery at term. I've been given progesterone in the hope that stabilises things, but there is to be no action beyond this to save the foetus (distancing myself from "DC2" to help my sanity if the worst happens) until we hit 24wks, when they'll give me steroids.
Does this resonate with anyone? Are there any experts who can help me work out how best to continue over the next few weeks? I'm pretty active, with a toddler, I commute 3 days a week and walk a lot, and usually swim with a club, quite hard, twice a week too. I'm going to take a break from swimming I think as it makes me feel "tight" sometimes, which is a sensation I remember from the last stages of my previous pg id prefer to avoid. Beyond "no lifting", the advice has been "do what you think best" which is not that helpful.
