Shortning Cervix

Hi.. I am 24 weeks and 4 days pregnant with twins and my cervix is 2.2cm. I am also having contractions a few times a day. I asked my doctor about bed rest... But he doesn't seem to be worried. He even told me not to go on bedrest.

My doc did a fetal fibronectin test and it came back positive. They put me on modified bedrest immediately.

Thanks anxious... I'm so scared. I don't wanna go against my doctor, but I think it is best.

Demand he put you on bedrest.. I was hospitalized at 18 weeks and made it to 26 weeks with short cervix.. I got my steroid shots at 24 weeks because we knew my cervix wasnt going to last long.. Prop those legs up, and get plenty of water...
