short cervix at 37 weeks pregnant and doctor told me i could go into labor sooner?

BUT she didn't ask me to take it easy or anything. I mentioned I still go for a run/jog (I've been a runner for almost 10 years) and she said it was ok. She didn't explain much but she said she saw in my last ultrasound (at 32 weeks) that my cervix was short and that I wont make it to my due date but she didn't give me any suggestions or put me on bed rest. have you heard about this situation?

37 weeks is considered full term, so having your baby now would be ok.
No one can say for sure when you will go into labor, only your body knows that.

You don't have to worry about bed rest. If you have the baby now, it would be perfectly healthy - you are past the viable point. The more active you are, the sooner you could go into labor so if you are like most women who can't wait for it to be over with at 37 weeks, go for it! Many would LOVE to be able to shave a couple of weeks off :)

With my first, my cervix didn't difference till I went into hard work. He hadn't even dropped. It used to be the equal the entire approach by way of. Then it went from a one million-10 in approximately half-hour and I driven three occasions. I used to be one million cm and best 30% effaced once they checked me while I received to the medical institution. They informed me I normally wasn't in hard work. Shows what they recognize! I used to be forty weeks precisely. With my second, I went into hard work at 37 weeks and ended up with a c-segment earlier than i hit two cm. So I do not understand how it could have became out.

At 37 weeks, it's not a big deal. You could go into labor tonight and the baby would be considered full term and would be just fine.

you are considered full term at 37 weeks. there is no need for bedrest unless the baby or you are in danger which you're obviously not. you'll be fine and have a baby soon. congrats. i delivered my daughter at 36 weeks ( a healthy 8 lb 14oz baby) and my son at 37 ( a healthy 8lb 11oz)
