I am 10 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. My report shows low lying posterior placenta with lower pole covering internal os and short cervix too. What does this mean? Should I be worried? What precautions should I take? I already had 2 miscarriages in the past due to an incompetent cervix. Please help.

A low lying placenta and short cervix at 10 weeks with prior miscarriages is concerning. Strict rest, progesterone support, and possibly a cervical stitch (cerclage) may be needed depending on your doctors evaluation. Please dont miss regular checkups.

Take a PROGESTERONE Test
