Viability day. So if you go into premature labor your baby has a good chance of survival.

Huh. Having an incompetent cervix, you would have thought I would know that expression already.

What is your cervix measuring at? I checked my online account and mine as 4.3 at my first scan at OB at 14 weeks, it was 3.8 at 16 weeks, I'm scared it's going to be lower at the next scan (not yet scheduled but should be next week at 18+).

I forgot to ask at my last appointment, but my doctor said "long and strong" and that he was very happy with me. I will definitely ask next time. I spent most of last time with less than 1 cm past the cerclage while on bed rest, so I would love a big number!

I was happy with both my measurements alone, but then when I thought to compare them was when I got worried. Guess we will see what next week brings! Dh already wants to take sex off the table. Hes been researching it all haha

Oh no! My doctor's advice was that there are two things about sex: one is that semen can cause your cervix to soften, which is an issue if you have IC but no cerclage. The other is that orgasms cause your uterus to contract - but one contraction after an orgasm is different from going into labour . . . . my OB said just to "be aware of your uterus" and if they start to feel strong or cyclical after sex, then maybe go on pelvic rest. 

He also said that since pregnant women can have orgasms unintentionally and without being touched (like in their sleep) he can't very well say "no more orgasms till the baby comes".

Vday is still 24 weeks medically, right? I can't wait to get there. I will not feel at ease until then. Last time I thought, what a dumb thing to strive for...this time I cannot wait!

Yes, it's 24 weeks.
