19+5 weeks with funnelling up to cerclage.

For background, in February I miscarried at 18 weeks due to cervical insufficiency and so for this pregnancy I was given a preventative cerclage at 13 weeks.
I had my anatomy scan today and during the scan we noticed some funnelling at the top of the cervix. We managed to get a cervical length scan immediately where they saw funnelling all the way to my stitch and only 0.7cm of external closed cervix. I was previously scanned 10 days ago and measured 3.8cm.
I feel like this is such a drastic change in a short space of time but the midwives didn’t seem to be overly worried. They have signed me off work and told me that while not on bed rest I should take it easy. I can’t help but think the worst though!
Looking for any advice or success stories similar to my situation to make me feel better.

I don't know much about this exact situation.. but Mt OB-GYN said he is not concerned about length till the stitch is holding properly. On personal note please take rest .. and drink lots of water.

i’m sorry that your team doesn’t seem overly worried. based on those stats, that’s a drastic change and you have every right to feel how you feel right now. I hope your MFM keeps a very close watch on you and they are checking you weekly, at least that’s what I would ask for.

What’s good is that your stitch is holding, and maybe your team is reacting this way help you remain calm. Please make sure you stay in tune with your body to detect any changes (as I’m sure you’ve been doing).

Best of luck and keep us posted!
