Are they going to give her a cerclage or put her on bed rest?
I am so sorry for the pain she is going through!!

wow! Do you know how short it is now?
Also, I know she's likely not thinking of her *next* pregnancy at this point, but maybe having a cerclage next time around would help. I am being treated like I have incompetent cervix (or as it is now called - "insufficient cervix") but they don't know for certain that I have it.
Is she being monitored in the hospital right now?
When they thought Judah was going to be born at 19 weeks I was terrified. Having friends check in (even if I wasn't keeping in touch with them at that time!) meant so much to me. I am glad she's got you as a friend.

That seems weird to me. It sounds really serious, and I would think they'd be more aggressive about trying to prevent preterm labor.
Does taking it easy include pelvic rest for her? Orgasms can trigger contractions, which she would want to avoid.
I was put on pelvic rest from 19 weeks on with Judah, and from the beginning of this pregnancy.
I couldn't find a whole lot of information online about the progesterone suppositories (I started taking them at about 20 weeks) however they made me feel like I was bruising in and around my vagina. I told my doctor and he said it was the progesterone as "it doesn't do that" - but I stopped taking them and in a matter of days that feeling went away. Then I started on it again and the feeling came back. I kept taking them till 33 weeks, but I wish I could have found someone or somewhere that mentioned that they could make down there feel weird!
She may find THIS SITE useful. It is primarily about incompetent cervix, however there is a lot in there about preterm labor and bedrest and such.
