Cervical Scans

[25weeker]

In my last pregnancy which was a twin one I dilated 5cm at 21 weeks with membranes bulging. At the time they thought I would miscarry but after 5 days of no changes they decided to try a cervical stitch. The stitch was successful but I got an infection at 25 weeks which triggered labour.

I am now 14 weeks pregnant with a singleton this time and the consultant has said they will do cervical scans fortnightly from 16 weeks - 22 weeks. I am not comfortable with them stopping at 22 weeks because a 21 week twin pregnancy isn't the same as a 21 week singleton. I know they won't put stitches in after 22 weeks at my hospital but at least by checking I would know to go on bed rest if there was any funnelling.

If you have had or are getting cervical scans at what gestation are you having them too?

I had cervical scans in my last pregnancy (twin) every 4 weeks from week 13 to 24!

Hi, i haven't started having my scans yet but they checked my cervix at my dating scan and im booked in for them to start at 16 weeks up until 24 weeks.

Hi, mine started at 16 weeks then every 2 weeks until I had my last one at 28, I have an extra one at 32 weeks due to some spotting recently. I'm 30 weeks at the moment I think it all depends on your situation and your consultant!
