Bleeding due inflammed cervix - how will this affect pg?!

[PrincessScrumpy]

I'm 17+4w pg with id twins. I've been to hospital today with 3rd bleed of pg. This time it was brown old blood but still scary. They're not too worried but I saw a doctor and a registrar who confirmed my cervix isn't quite right and is inflammed which is causing the bleeding. I have a scan in 2 weeks so they've said to stick with that appointment and see how it goes.

How does this affect pg - is it more likely to lead to premature labour etc? I should have asked but I was trying to entertain my 3 year old while talking to the doctors.

Is there anything I should/shouldn't do?

When they say 'inflamed' do they mean ectropia/ erosion of cervix? If erosion of cervix it is [in my experience and understanding] harmless. It is a hormonal thing that does not affect length of/ strength of cervix; just surface. Just check if that is what they mean by 'inflamed' because then you would be able to relax.

Phone if poss so you don't sit fretting. Good luck with your pregnancy.
