If you had a shortened cervix in last pregnancy what is the likely hood it will happen again?
Honeylove19801
Yes, it is likely that it will happen again, but not always. sometimes when it is short it has just never been stretched out, so after the first pregnancy, it might be ok, and some people just have a short cervix, so its really an individual case. I would tell your ob about it and they will check often to make sure your cervix is fine.

I am 27 weeks and my cervix is starting to thin does this mean I'll go into labor before my due date?
My friend is 27 weeks and her cervix is also starting to thin. Her ob said it is likely she will deliver early. Her first baby was born @ 34 weeks but her cervix wasn't checked through that pregnancy so its hard to know if that is what happened in her first pregnancy as well. Her ob said she will probably deliver again aroung 34 weeks but hopefully closer towards 36 weeks. This doesn't mean it will happen to you. Get some expert advice from your ob or a midwife. Good luck .
Sewing up the cervix keeping the baby in place long is it pain ful or harmful to the baby?
When a woman's cervix is weak (sometimes called an incompetent cervix) she is more likely to have a baby born prematurely because the cervix shortens or opens too early. In order to prevent premature labor, a woman's doctor may recommend a cervical cerclage. A cerclage is used to prevent these early changes in a woman's cervix, thus preventing premature labor. A closed cervix helps a developing baby stay inside the uterus until the mother reaches 37-38 weeks of pregnancy. Treatment for cervical incompetence is a surgical procedure called cervical cerclage, in which the cervix is sewn closed during pregnancy. The cervix is the lowest part of the uterus and extends into the vagina.
Are you more likely to get chlamydia if you're pregnant?
Changes to the cervix from the hormones of pregnancy may make it easier for pregnant women to get chlamydia. The same can be said of young teens. Because of the high-estrogen state, the cervix presents more columnar epiehtelium, which may make it easier for it to be infected with chlamydia and a host of other STDs.
When a tampon is inserted always have gas pains is it instered correctly?
It is likely that the tampon is hitting your cervix - this can happen if you are using conventional tampons and if you have a shorter vaginal canal. I recommend you consider switching to options like menstrual cups or softcups which won't hit your cervix like tampons are doing now.
How much is a woman at risk for pregnancy problems percentage-wise if she had a cone biopsy and LEEP done several years ago and what are the typical types of problems that occur?
Sometimes, women with these procedures will have problems maintaining pregnancies due to "incompetent cervix" or "cervical shortening". Sometimes, doctors will place a stitch in the cervix called a cerclage which helps the cervix stay closed. If you do experience any of these, your doctor will most likely put you on bed rest either at home or in the hospital in more severe cases where a pregnancy is threatened. Unfortunately, I cannot give you a percentage. Just talk with your doctor about these issues if you become pregnant.
Likeliness of pregnancy straight after chemical pregnancy?
Very likely.
Does pregnancy affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test?
It is possible, but not likely.
Are you able to feel the baby kicking your cervix?
Yes, it is possible to feel the baby kicking or hitting your cervix. This is more likely as the pregnancy progresses, since the baby is bigger and stronger later in the pregnancy. You will almost certainly feel the baby making contact with the cervix once the baby has started to engage (starts to enter the pelvis in preparation for birth); when a baby is fully engaged, his or her head will press directly on the cervix. Some mothers will find the baby making contact with the cervix more uncomfortable than others, and for a few it may be somewhat painful. For most women, the sensation is simply unusual.
Can an IUD cause abrasions on a man?
The IUD is in the uterus, and a man does not enter the uterus during sex. If you or your partner can feel part of the IUD in the cervix, and that's scraping him, the IUD is not likely to be effective. Take the morning after pill if you 've had sex in the last five days, and contact your health care provider for an exam. Don't rely on the IUD to prevent pregnancy if you can feel the plastic of the device in the cervix.
Can pregnancy happen at 47?
Yes, it is far more infrequent an occurence, than in a 27 or 17 year old, for that matter. But it does happen, on occasion. It is even less likely to happen, however, if periods have stopped for several months to a year or more (menopause).
Is a nose bleed a sign of pregnancy?
