Most times they are done prior to 14 week mark. My cervix was shorter dus to the leep and was done more for preventive measures. 3cm should be fine at this point. Have to weigh the risk at this point, infection -preterm etc.. Most drs will wait with a singleton at this point. Mine went to 1.6 and stayed there till i delivered at 40w 3 daydAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191378396444280696.post-87411668064335224902009-09-09T20:26:23.660-04:002009-09-09T20:26:23.660-04:00Not familiar with LEEP, but just "as is"...Not familiar with LEEP, but just "as is" I (apparently according to my OB) have a short cervix.

They put me on progesterone suppositories, which I think helped a TON. Once I stopped the suppositories was when I started dilating. HOWEVER...I didn't actually continue dilating past 2cm after they took the cerclage out. I stayed at 2cm until the twins were delivered at 35 weeks. Therefore, the doctor is not convinced that my cervix was actually incompetent. Basically, don't worry *too* much about a cervix that's 3cm. Have them keep checking it and possibly put you on progesterone suppositories.Elana Kahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800005978714797988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191378396444280696.post-74665524243505205742009-09-08T19:35:58.072-04:002009-09-08T19:35:58.072-04:00He is pretty adorable isn't he? =) I feel ex...He is pretty adorable isn't he? =) I feel excited as well, but also overwhelmed a little at how we're going to handle this.

My cervix, depending ...Definitely don't worry!<br /><br />My cervix, depending on the tech that measures it, is anywhere from 2.8-3.2 and it was around the same length with Brice too. My water broke at 39w1d with Brice. Actually, the first few transvag u/s I had with Brice they measured my cervix at 1.8cm!!! They were missing a piece (mine is kind of L shaped) - I actually measured a bit longer.<br /><br />I had a LEEP in Dec 2005 and a cone biopsy (much more invasive than a LEEP) in April 2006. Both of these procedures have resulted in my shorter than normal and very oddly shaped cervix.<br /><br />The tech who measured me last week thought I had a cerclage but it was actually just a nice amount of scar tissue, lol.<br /><br />I've been contracting regularly since Saturday for 1-3 hour periods. My doctor, a MFM specialist, said he is comfortable with me having 6 contractions an hour at this point.<br /><br />Just take it easy and I am pretty sure you're little man will stay put until term!!!Love B&Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11244302369760305512noreply@blogger.com
