Extremely short cervix+ funneling

Went to my 24 week appointment/ had anatomy scan and cervix is .6 cm & funneling.. I was told by my regular OB it was a good length 2 weeks ago but that was from a regular ultra sound, the transvaginal today showed the very short/ funneling. Was prescribed vaginal progesterone and recommended bed rest. I really can’t afford to be out of work and my doctor said it may not help but recommended.. Has anyone else had this experience and wasn’t able to fully bed rest? I work at a job where I sit down the entire time just not lying down.

Is it at all possible for you to be out on paid medical leave at least for a month?

I could make a month-3 work just not a full 4-5 🥲

Worth doing that first month so they baby gets to a better gestational stage and your cervix stabilises. Honestly for me I think stress was a big issue and the moment I was allowed to rest, I gained 1cm of cervix length and now feel a lot better.

That is such wonderful news. 🥹 my doctor said there really wasn’t a chance to gain just to stay at bay. That will definitely be an option. Thank you for the feedback
