Can modified bedrest be short term or temporary? Or is it once put on bedrest you remain bedrested throughout the pregnancy? I had cervical change. I was dialated 1cm and went to 2.4. When I left the hospital after 2 nights, my cervic returned measured at 3.3-3.4. Five days later after a Dr.'s appointment, She said my cervic closed up to 1/2cm but soft. She wanted me on modified bedrest. Can your body fully repair itself?
