Cervix open half way at 28w1d

[madiva]

Hello I went to doctor and she said that my cervix is open half way already. She did not put me on complete bed rest but it is likley she will in a few weeks. Has anyone had this? She really would not give me much info on why or what will happen. I am sure it will be pre mature labor though. Any info would be greatly appriciated.

Hi there!
I was told my cervix was prematurely opening up at 26 weeks or so..I was told it was 1/3 open or some thing and advised as much rest as possible..
At my 30 w scan the situation was the same so they told me t continue with only limited activity..
at 32 weeks, i was told i needn't worry about anything as they could handle any problem if it arose..
I finally delivered by emergency c section at 39 weeks(they induced me as my amniotic fluid level was pretty low) but ironically, my cervix wouldn't dilate after 3 hours and my lil one's heartbeat started falling, so they wheeled me in..
I hope this helps..
Just to tell you that its impossible not to worry, but it also doesnt mean that you are going to deliver prematurely..
Just avoid squatting and bending frontwards until you're 32 weeks and oh, until 32w,no nooky!

cheers,
smita

Hi Girls
How do you know that you have the opened cervix? Did this have to be detected by scan? I am wondering if I was to have the same thing, how on earth I would know. Do you have any symptoms??
thanks

Hi there,
I used to have once a monthly internal checks at my clinic..so hey found out..
i dont think it shows up in a scan..
the ob has to check inside if u know what i mean!
Pretty uncomfy.
and oh, its not common to do internals these days..you can chk with your clinic though.. as i personally had a history of brown discharge(for which they could find no reason) and also low amniotic fluid levels, they kept a close watch on me..
hope this helps..

Hello, doing better. They put me on bed rest for a few weeks. I am now on light bed rest. They said after 32 weeks they could handle what ever was to happen. Just wish I could I do more. They also said that he is going to stay breech. I have to go once a week. Well I hope everyone else is doing better will try to keep in touch as much as possible. I dont have a computer hooked up at home I am at my mothers house. Talk with yall later.
