Funneled to stitch- not comfortable to return to work yet

Hi all, I am 26w2d pregnant with an emergency cerclage placed at 22w. My post op appointment went well with my cervix measuring over 3cm 10 days post procedure. However, now I have learned at 25W that I am funneled to the stitch with only 1.1cm remaining. I have been off of work for a month now and have placed myself on modified bed rest. My midwife’s nurse is currently replying in the patient portal that they are unable to extend my FMLA to 32 weeks per my request because they think it’s crucial to have more postpartum time off. I understand the concern. However, I am extremely concerned about returning to a physically active job and going into labor when the risks are still high for an extreme premie. Any advice? My PCP may be able to write a request if needed (he’s my uncle)

Baby carriers

Hi all! As I approach my third trimester I am finalizing my baby registry with my baby shower being late next month. Has anyone had any luck finding a baby carrier that would fit someone who’s plus size? Before pregnancy I was a 3x, but now I’ve gained 25lbs

Mother’s Day

Hi everyone, I just wanted to hear from you all if you guys are celebrating Mother’s day this year for you as a soon to be mom. My mom and her best friend are still in full swing planning my baby shower that’s at week 30 (I’m 25 weeks), but I’m just terrified to be too excited. It’s just so sad. My CI has brought on so much fear.

Hi all, I posted recently about my recent cerclage 10 days ago where I was 1cm dilated and .8cm length cerclage. Today I had my follow up transvaginal ultrasound where they saw the funneling closed and I’m now 3.67cm? Is this even possible? I think I’m just worried to trust the scans since I went from a 4cm cervix with abdominal scan one day and 5 days later less than 1cm.

What was your post cerclage length and how long did it take before it shortened again? I go back in two weeks to follow up again for peace of mind
