I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant and feeling really scared. I had a preventative cerclage placed at 13 weeks due to my history. At 17 weeks they noticed V-shaped funneling and my cervix was measuring around 1–2 cm, so they had me come back a week later for another ultrasound.
At my follow up, my cervix measured around .6 cm. From what I understand, I’m funneling down to the stitch, but not through it. My doctors are monitoring me closely and have mentioned concerns about making it to viability, which has honestly terrified me.
I know everyone’s situation is different, but I’m really looking for success stories from women who had severe shortening/funneling with a cerclage and still made it much further along. How long did your cerclage hold? Did anyone stabilize after things looked bad? Just looking for honest experiences because my anxiety has been through the roof.
