Hi everyone,
I am 24 weeks pg with baby no.2. Have a cervical stitch placed at 13 weeks due to previous loss. I then carried my son to full term in my last preg with the stitch.
Had a scan the other day and found that my cervix is funneling. It's .7 mm above the stitch and 2.6 cm below it. The sonographer suggested tht I start steroid injections as she thinks tht I will go into labour in the next few weeks.
However I spoke to my OB yestdy and he says the measurements don't mean anythg. I also have gestational diabetes so hving steroids means tht I will hav to be admitted to hosp to be put on an insulin drip as steroids make body sugars go haywire. He s also said that the steroids wear off in 2 weeks so if I don't deliver by then, I would hav to hav thm again if I hav to deliver after tht
.I don't know; 2 diff opinions and I am confused about wht to do now. I do want ths baby to cum at term but giv it every fighting chance if it cums early.
Anyone else going thru/ been thru ths situation?
Thanks for reading
