Hi
I am looking to find others that have been in or are in a similar position to me.
I was flagged as high risk for assessment for MTC (Maternity team care) by my community midwife at my first booking, due to having had cryotherapy/cryosurgery years ago.
My community midwife told me that it was more precautionary than anything else & may mean that at some-point they may consider inserting a stitch at some-point if my cervical length may cause problems with me carrying the baby to full term.
I didn't actually see the consultant until I was nearly 17 weeks due to a delay in my booking appointment with the hospital midwife.
I am now approaching 23 weeks, I am still seeing the consultant (meant to be a 2 week intervals, although their were some scheduling problems).
I am not feeling a great deal wiser as to what this high risk label actually means to me.
The consultant when I have seen her has been really busy and while has asked if I have questions, not the most informative. She asked me at my recent scan if she had prescribed me injections, the only injection I'm currently scheduled to have is an Anti D. When I asked her about this she said it was progesterone & she didn't want to give me them too soon, The midwife did elaborate a bit more on this.
I also asked the consultant if I need to be being careful.. for instance is it OK to have sex, her answer was vague. I believe she told me that it is OK to have sex I shouldn't necessarily abstain but to be careful until after 28 weeks, am not really sure what to make of this.
From my own reading & subsequent questioning I know that I currently have no funnelling :) however cervical length is shorter than average with my posterior measurement shorter than the anterior so cervix neck like a tube/cylinder with a tip rather than a blunt end.
