I am 22 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child and its not going so well. I have been seeing a high risk doctor weekly because I' ve already been experiencing contractions . They measured my cervix the last couple of times and it keeps thinning out. They told me at my last appointment that if it got any thinner by my next appointment that i will be put in the hospital.  Im really worried and just wondered if there is anything i can do to stop the thinning. Im on bedrest but i have a 4 and 2 year old so its not easy. Im so worried and not sure what else to do to help make sure the baby stays in long enough.

No sex. That thins the cervix. Not usually until baby is ready but in your case I would steer clear. There isn't really anything else you can do. Just keep faith.
