Just popping in to let you girls know I'm still here! I'm still having the occasional contraction (sometimes they become regular and then die off again; a few hours they were about 2-3 minutes apart) but I haven't dilated any more and I'm still holding steady at 2.5cm. So far, the doctors have given be a 15 hour course of Magnesium and a 24 hour course of Ibuprofen. We've just started me back on the Procardia, which I was taking prior to being admitted, to see if that will work now that things have settled down a little.

Not sure how long I can hold on, but I'm trying. On top of the contractions, the doctors have noticed something funny going on with Baby B's heart. Her heart rate keeps fluctuaring and it's got them worried. Hopefully it's nothing major and they won't feel the need to deliver me (though they were talking about it last night).

Anyway, keeping our fingers crossed that these little girls decide to stay in a little longer. I'll keep you all updated on how things go.

No worries Shelby! Baby b is just a little stressed about the hospital and meds!! Lol you all will be fibe

We've been moved out of L&D to the Long Term High Risk floor. Who knows how long I'll be here, but it doesn't really matter. The girls are still cooking and that's what counts.

i have my next cervical length check on Friday ladies. Should i expect to be funnelled to the stitch and a significant amount shorter then I was at 20 weeks? I will be 28 weeks exactly. at 16 weeks I was over 4 cm, at 20 and 21 i was 2.9 cm

What did you ladies do to distract yourselves and pass time?

Hello everyone. I am on Day 4 of bed rest now after being discharged from the hospital at the beginning of the week after a routine ultrasound discovered a funnelling cervix. I had an emergency cerclage put in at exactly 21 weeks, and am now trying to hold tight and hope that my twins stay in there!!! We are hoping to make it to at least 32 weeks, though unfortunately that is still a ways away (end of Jan!).

I've been reading through the posts and it sounds like lots of us are going through similar experiences, so I thought I'd join in, share my own story, and wish you all good luck

Hey penuche, sorry to hear. I had one placed at 17 weeks. I'm 19/2 now. Talk about a ways to go. It's hard and for me not much easier but I tAke it a day at a time. This forum , prayer and friends make it bearable. Think about the little ones and lots of rest!!! Bedrest I think helps
