nobody knows why this happens ..it just does sometimes there are lots of studies being done as to why (although i am sure this is of no comfort to you) have they suggested a rescue cerclage? (this is where a stitch is placed around you cervix to hold it together) just hold on in there and take it easy i have known lots of women who havwe the same thing and continue on for quite some time good luck

You already have two great answers atop of this one. I just wanted to stress out to keep our bed rest to a T. Use diapers to urinate on.. Go to the bathroom for bowel movements only. Relax and try to do some yoga in bed.. so you do not lose a lot of strength on your back. (I was in bed for 7 months.. my back was worthless after it).

Ahhh...I am so sorry to hear that, I will add you to my pryers and hope that you have a safe pregnancy! I really don't know how that happens, but I have experienced the same thing with my last pregnacy. I was seven moths when my cervix began to open and I was put on bed rest. The main thing that the docors expressed to me was thE stress factor. Although I tried not to do so much while I was pregnant, the stress of being pregnant alone kept overwhelming me. You must continue your bed rest and find activities that help you relax your mind! Try not to think of your problems too much...Thats all I can say, I hope it finds a way to help you...even if just alittle bit! Good Luck & May The Lord Continue To Bless You
