I had twins almost 5 months ago. At almost 27 wks my cervix had dropped to 1.5cm from 4 at my last check (3-4 weeks ago). I don't know if it happened all at once or over the span of time. I was put on home bedrest and to stop teaching immediately. I went to the hospital w/ contractions 2 days later and stayed just under a week. Due to being an hour away from the hospital I was not allowed to go home and stayed in a hotelish type of place run by the hospital for the next 8 weeks. Finally at 35 wks I came home and had them at almost 38 in a PLANNED c-sec (breech baby A!). Cervix never dropped much more, stayed about 1cm for that whole time. I stayed on my side for most of it but towards the end started moving around more.

I hope that comes off as encouraging! We had the instant fear of preemies and ended up with babies who needed no NICU. It wasn't easy but worth it!

Good luck.
