Hi Archie,
I am in 20th week. This is my first pregnancy. I had 2nd u/s few days before. Baby is fit 'n' fine. I saw the baby moving and sucking the thumb and the heart pumping. Heart bit rate is 144.
I have some times a small pain 6-7 times in a day. My gynac told me this is because, the opening / mouth of the cavity (ie. the sac) is little small. Usually its 3.5cms, mine is 3cms. She had given me some tabs and asked me to visit after 5-6 days and visit earlier if the problem increases. She told me that this happens sometime for some womens.

Is it severe? How does this happens? What are the sideeffects? Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? I am little worried.

Please please please reply.

My doc told me that my cervix was slightly open when I went for my ultrasound scan a month ago. But in later examinations it closed automatically. But I read up a lot about it when the doc told me. Its nothing really to be very concerned about. If required they will stitch it up. Did the doc tell you exactly what the pain was? I have read that some women experience slight contractions and they are given medication for it. Yours could be the same. Maybe you can discuss in detail with your doc about it. Depending on the progress, if required, they might even suggest bed rest.

Dont worry about it for the time being. Enjoy as much as you can. Just be careful about not lifting heavy items and stressing yourself too much.

Cheers,
Raji
