I have a 7 1/2 month DD and had cervical shortening in pregnancy. My cervix shortened from 3.4 at 23 weeks to 2.4 at 24 weeks, I was given steroid injections and had to use progesterone pessaries until 37 weeks, 3 x 400mg a day. I was signed off at 32 weeks and ordered to rest as much as possible, as my cevix was soft as well.
It was stressful as I was constantly worried about premature labour, but the progesterone and rest got me to 40+5.
My question is has anyone had this issue with subsequent pregnancies? It's completely put me off having a second child as I know I would be anxious from the off. I as lucky in that I had a pretty perfect labour, but it is pregnancy that makes me say a hard no to anymore children.
