Short Cervix Success Story

i’m writing this to hopefully help someone out there because i know i needed it.

i found out i had a short cervix at 19w pregnant. it was 1.3cm if i’m correct or somewhere around there. i was nervous, i was scared, i was afraid id lose the child i prayed for, especially before getting to meet him.

i requested to meet with an MFM on my own, and also requested i get cervix checks every week or i think two weeks. they put me on endometrin 200mg vaginally (progesterone) and i took that everyday.

i searched on reddit, tik tok, google, chat gpt looking for clarity and looking for hope. but i soon realized, its not hope its me. it’s up to you to advocate for yourself, and if they decline ask them to document it and find someone else ASAP!!

long story short, i stopped my progesterone at 36w and didnt have him until 39+1 !

he’s healthy, he’s everything ive ever prayed for.

i thought progesterone wasn’t going to be enough but it was!! i was going to push for a cerclage and stuff, but it wasn’t necessary or needed at that point. i rested, didn’t bend or squat, didn’t walk for miles, just pelvic rest and not doing too much.

i hope this calms someone’s mind.
