Cervical Insufficiency
Posted: 11-01-07 11:56am

so yesterday at my appt i was checked and the dr found out im already 2cm dialated
im going to be 34 weeks tomarrow.
she said i have a cervical insufficiancy and that this means my cervix is dialateing without contractions and shes worried about early rupture of the membranes (sp?)

i was just wondering if anyone else had this while pregnant? and what was the outome?

Very
Happy thanks!

She's too far along to have her cervix sewn shut. They usually only do that before 24 weeks. It might be a good idea for you to abstain from sex for the rest of your pregnancy.

Suzy, did your doctor suggest a cerclage? No sex? (Sex is NO NO when you have an incompetent cervix!)

I saw she is limiting you on activity - and you aren't listening by going trick or treating, etc. Don't be silly, girl! Follow the doctor's orders and just be still. Yeah, sure it sucks. And I know it isn't any fun - but this is the only life your child has. Make sure she starts it healthy, ok? Premature babies are not any fun at all and are at risk for a multitude of illnesses. You have the power to make sure that doesn't happen.

So put your feet up and RELAX. Get someone to go rent you a million movies or do 2 months worth of school work. Write out all your thank you notes. Make up your birth announcements (minus the birth date and time, etc). Learn to knit. Make a scrapbook.
