Problems with the pregnancy :(

Well I am having some issues already with this pregnancy, I really hope they even out though and don't get any worse. I had cervical issues in pregnancy with Kenna and probably Logan as well (bad insurance with him so it wasn't checked). Well I had some spotting yesterday at 17w2d and they did an ultrasound to check my cervix. It is short already. It is at 26.8mm, normal is 30mm or above. With Kenna at this stage it was 35mm and went to 22mm by 28 weeks, so I am just praying that it stays at 26.8 mm or gets a little longer, which could happen. I am now to not exercise, do any heavy lifting or housework, etc... for a minimum of 6 weeks and probably no exercise except maybe minor things for the rest of the pregnancy. I just really hope that my exercising is what caused my cervix to shorten now, because if it did that means I am pretty safe as long as I stay on my butt as much as possible. I am just so worried. I am only 17w3d today and that just feels so far from when the baby would be safe to come into the world. So I am being as easy on myself as I can with a 2 and a 1 year old and just keeping everything crossed that I get good news at my next ultrasound on May 20th!

Good news is baby looks great! Measuring perfectly with a hb of 152! And I am going to get many many peeks at him/her throughout this pregnancy!

Come on cervix of steel (as a friend put it recently!)
