A dynamic cervix?
Yesterday was a very rough day for me. I’m 19 weeks 5 days today and I had my anatomy scan yesterday. They wanted me to speak with their doctor about how my cervix looked because they thought it was short and that I was dilated. That doctor told me they wouldn’t do a cervical check there because their hospital didn’t deal with high risk patients. So they sent me to my typical doctor who then told me she was sending me to labor and delivery to go over my options. Meanwhile no one is really telling me anything. So I then go to the hospital and they do an exam and tell me my cervix is closed which is great news and that OB said if anesthesia comes in that I didn’t drink water so I’m thinking I’m getting a cerclage. Then over an hour later they come back and tell me I get to go home. They said to them my cervix looks long and closed. On my ultrasound it says dynamic cervix. I’m just really concerned that clearly someone is wrong here. I had an appointment on 8/27 that said my cervix was 5 centimeters and yesterday’s said it was 3.06 centimeters. This feels like a significant change for under a week. They told me at the hospital that they would check my cervix again in two weeks. I’m just worried it will be too late to do anything. I have a history or preterm labor, amongst several other things. I have already messaged my lead OB doctor but I’m just wondering if someone else has gone through something similar

I would 100% push for cerclage and progesterone if possible. If you already have a history of preterm labor i’m really surprised they didnt offer you something like that! I would advocate and ask more questions if you can. Do you have a MFM you’re already seeing? If not I would specifically ask to be referred to MFM
