Cervical incompetence

Alice
I've been told I'm at risk for cervical incompetence because of grade 2 cervical tear with my previous labour (will be over 8 years prior to this baby). I've been told they'll "monitor me closely", but I'm worried and won't really know what that means until I get in to see OB which won't be for a few weeks at least. Has anyone else experienced/experiencing this also?
