Can anyone help? I've had two LEEP excisions, one 10 years ago and one 10 months ago. The last one was for CIN3 and they took a substantial part of my cervix away. The consultant in London advised that if I was pregnant, I would need to be regularly checked for cervical incompetence.
I am now 14 weeks pregnant and booked an appointment to see the Ob gyn at my hospital to have the cervix measured. When I arrived, I was met by the consultant's colleague who told me my cervix would not be checked or measured until week 23. Apparently the consultant does not see anyone until week 23. I feel this is too late in the 2nd trimester. The NHS website states that an incompetent cervix can cause miscarriage at any time in the second trimester.
I was told I should not return unless I have signs of miscarriage - bleeding, leaking etc.
Other posters seem to be having scans from 12 or 14 weeks. Is what I have been told normal? I am now very stressed and worried.
