Just wanted to say thanks - I saw my OB Thursday morning and she felt that my cervix was a little thin - no funneling revealed on ultrasound, but I'm still cramping so we're taking it easy and will recheck later this week. Many thanks for a wonderful forum and for the quick reply - I appreciate it!
