cervix length - when to worry

I am having twins and they measured by cervix at 4 cm but when she put pressure on it - it only measured 3 cm

i am 22 weeks - and of course now the perinatologist wants to see me again next week - but they are not my normal doc and seem to make me stress over things that are not that scary

when does your start to worry -

are there any other BTDT experinces with cervix length - this all new - i never knew what my cervix length was when i was pregnant with my son

Re: cervix length - when to worry

You don't worry. You just listen to what the doctor says to do. Worrying is just a misuse of imagination.

If they put you on bed rest, you'll follow doctor's orders. If they believe they need to do a cerclage, they'll do it.

I know it's hard, but trust your docs and specialists. Hugs to you!

Re: cervix length - when to worry

My perinatologist and OB have different opinions. My OB measured me at 3.28 last week and said it's on the lower side of normal (above 3) and I should take it easy. My perinatologist says they only take action if it gets down near 2. As long as it's above 3, you should be fine. I don't know if it's different for twins. If it makes you feel better, lay down as much as you can and it will help.
