When they do cervical checks via vaginal ultrasound can they see if cervix is open or closed too?

Oh man! Congrats on passing the 23rd week this pregnancy! Hopefully your cervix stays strong 💪🏻 Until full term!

@rndmshtt, yeah I’m omw in for an ultrasound now. And just a tad.

m@brose0205, How exciting!! Hopefully they keep monitoring you and baby.

Did you start shoopping yet?☺️

@rndmshtt, yeah I’m only about 15 mins away from mine lol and yes it is and i am very excited

@brose0205, Ahhh, i did mines at home. Probably will do the same thing this time. My obgyn is like 40 minutes away, and my highrisk is about an hour away😖😭😂

So is this baby your rainbow baby?😍💗 Are you excited?

@rndmshtt, they are done in my ob office every week

@brose0205, hehe do you have someone helping you with your shots? I def dont miss the shots but honestly i’d prefer them than the pills 😅 I’m currently on the pills, once i get my cerclage again i’m getting the shots.

@rndmshtt, yeah everything’s good so far with the progesterone shots. Thankyou

Oh man! Congrats on passing the 23rd week this pregnancy! Hopefully your cervix stays strong 💪🏻 Until full term!

@rndmshtt, I get ultrasounds every two weeks. That’s why they were monitoring to make sure I didn’t shorten early because I gave birth at 23 weeks last February

@brose0205, Yeah, i think normally your cervix isnt suppose to shorten dramatically until youre close to delievering. Unfortunately, sometimes it does happen prematurely for some women. Hopefully yours stay nice and long!☺️ You can ask them to explain while you get your vaginal ultrasounds. I always did ☺️ How often are your ultrasounds?

@mrs.a, yeah I have them for length checks.

@rndmshtt, yeah may have. My cervix has been fine It hasn’t shortened so they do not know why I had a previous pre term labor. I was just curious cause they never say if it’s opened or closed just tells me if it’s a good length

I have an incompetent cervix, so they usually start my appointments with my highrisk dr @ 12 weeks. They usually do vaginal ultrasounds, from what i can remember with my daughter. &’ I meet with them every two weeks, and i had to meet them every week when my cervix was shortening up until i had my cerclage and progesterone shots and they noticed my cervix was no longer opening up, but i was put on strict bedrest. so not sure if that also helped me.

That’s how they check if your cervix is open or closed.

I had cervical checks every 2-3 weeks with this pregnancy up until 30 weeks due to preterm labor.

They gave me a pill to take for my third but i was afraid of the side effects (mainly cancer) so i was jusy extra cautious and i actually made it to the due date

@brose0205, oh ok they check with us here but thats good whatever works

@mamachey, yeah I’m on progesterone shots also though

@lillynellasmom, oh ok then it must be different situation cause here preterm high risk they do no vag anytjing

@mamachey, 16-24 weeks they said to check the length. I’m having my last one this week I believe.

@mamachey nope.

Yes they can.

@lillynellasmom, thats interesting how it differs 🤷🏾‍♀️ were you put on pelvic rest at all like no dtd

@mamachey I just had one done today due to having preterm labor but my doctor said after 32 weeks they stop doing it at least where I go.

@brose0205, ... why would they do vaginal cervix checks when you have history of perterm labour? I also have a history of preterm labour and im not

To be checked vaginally at all . Since my second child they said it can trigger it (im now on my fifth child ) they check via regular ultrasound.

As of 34 weeks they were able to see that im closed and “long”

I have cervical checks every two weeks due to a previous pre term labor

Yes but they usually do that closer to the due date
