The length of my cervix has shortened between week 20 and 22. I now have to have my cervix measured once per week until it stops shortening. If it does not change next week, I go back to appointments every two weeks. Fingers crosses, it won't get any shorter in the next week.

Just hoping to find some people to share their experience with me. Doctor said that in the even it continues to get too short, I will need progesterone shots/treatments and possible bed rest.

Thanks, ladies!

    How did they know it changed between week 20 and 22? Do you do pelvic exams at every visit? I haven't even had a pelvic exam yet.

    How much did it shorten between the 2 weeks?

    At 20 weeks mine was 3.2 and while I was worried cos normal is 4-5, she said it is perfectly fine.
