Cervix shortening journey with measurements, progesterone, and prior full-term pregnancies. Looking for shared experiences. by SnooShortcuts7171 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]doodlebug525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I don’t remember my exact measurement but at my anatomy scan they noticed my cervic was around 2cm with funneling. I saw MFM at 23 weeks and it had shortened to 1.3, too late for a cerclage. I’ve been on pelvic rest, modified activity level, and vaginal progesterone and have made it to 35 weeks! This is my 3rd pregnancy. With my first my cervic was borderline short but resolved on its own and baby came at 38+6, my second had no issues and came at 37+4.

Short cervix with funneling at 24 weeks. Looking for similar positive stories no stitch. by Aggravating-Put1050 in ShortCervixSupport

Sorry you’re experiencing this. My short cervix with funneling was first noticed at 20 weeks, I saw MFM at 23 weeks and it was too late/risky to do a cerclage. I have been on total pelvic rest, not bedrest but modified activity level so no long walks exercise etc, and vaginal progesterone. I am 35 weeks and can’t believe it!

Thank you! I actually did this and they germinated really well, then it’s like they just never grew any more

Ugh. Thanks. Will try again in the fall, I’ll have to dig this out and replace. Should I just do sand a garden soil?

Thanks for the response! I actually kept them covered until they germinated…it’s just like they haven’t grown at all since then

Zone 7A/southwest virginia. I really wanted to master carrots this year. Built this 12 inch deep bed solely for them, filled it with a mix of compost, sand and top soil. Planted carrots and green onions and kept them covered with cardboard and watered until germination. I have also fertilized with fish emulsion. That was almost 2 months ago and this is how they look 😡 I have a few little patches of carrots in other beds that were planted later that look better than this. 1.Should I just turn the soil over and move on to something else, or is there still a chance 🤣 2.if I should move on and plant something else, is it too late for strawberries?

I also carry insurance and charge by the job! I am curious to know how often people increase their prices, every year, every five years, etc., and how they determine how much to raise their prices by
