Okay girls ? I just had an appointment with my doctor, I'm pregnant, she says the opening is 2cm and the cervix is soft + I have a short cervix, so he let me go home, said contractions will start or the water will recede, run to the hospital, he says I'll give birth in an hour if not less ? gave him a couple of days, if I don't give birth by the weekend, on Monday for another appointment, we'll figure out what to do) has anyone had this with a short cervix? how many times did they go to see someone with such an opening?)
