30+1 - cervical issues since 23 weeks

[DSemcho]

At 23+2 I went into the medical with back pain and a lot of lower front pain. Came to find my inner cervix was funneled and my closed cervix was only 2.5cm in length and I was put on an anti contraction med (nefin-something). Flash a week later(24+3) and I'm medivac'd from my husbands base in Turkey to Landstuhl Medical Center in Germany, re-evaluated and my cervical length had changed to 1.7cm. Because Landstuhl can't handle a birth before 28 weeks they send me off base where the hospital can handle a birth at 24 weeks. My cervical length stayed the same for 3 weeks then one day I had lower stomach contractions 2 min apart and it caused my cervix to shorten to 1cm and the sac went into my funnel. I was put on IV anti contraction meds for my last week at that hospital. 28+2 I'm transferred back and my cervix was measured at 2.2cm and they allowed me to go to lodging across the street and took me off all anti-contraction meds. Almost 2 weeks later at 29+5 I'm remeasured and discover it's only 0.86cm long and that there was blood behind the closed portion of my cervix - possibly at one point my placenta had started to detach but we don't know when. I'm now 30+1 and we are just waiting. The doc says that I've statistically made it further than he expected from my 24 week scan, but that he doesn't think I will go past 34 weeks.

Anyone else had something similar happen?

What should I expect if he is born in the next 2-3 weeks?
