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)
