Mercedes “MJ” Javidis opening up about an unexpected situation that occurred during her high-risk pregnancy.
On Sunday, the pregnantShahs of Sunsetstar, who revealed in October that she isexpecting her first childwith husband Tommy Feight, gave fans an update in a series of videos that were taken while Javid, 46, was at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after Christmas.
In the emotional Instagram posts, Javid explained that she had recently undergone cervical cerclage surgery after her doctors discovered that her cervix was measuring too small — something she said could be “high risk” for a miscarriage.
“What you are seeing in these videos are me, very scared and nervous to learn that although the pregnancy was easy and uneventful for the first 18 weeks or so, during a check up, we found that my cervix was measuring to 1.5 centimeters, which is high risk for m.c,” the reality starcaptioned the first clip, which was taken in the hospital’s maternity unit.
“You get an epidural, and a stitch, which considered a rescue,” she continued. “Bedrest is far from the ideal way to spend these beautiful days, but I’m learning a lot during this quiet period.”
“How I’ve gotten through this is with a lot of faith, my beautiful father’s calming spirit inside of me, along with a maternal strength, and my husband’s unrelenting support and kindness,” she added, referencing her latefather Shams Javid, who died in May.
In aseparate, but very similar post, Javid said how she was in the “good hands” of her doctors, who were monitoring her cervix.
She also expressed her gratitude — amid the difficult situation — in the caption, noting how she was finding a silver lining despite being forced on bed rest.
Back in July, after Javid opened up about her journey to expand her family during an appearance onJeff LewisLive,the reality star revealed that she had “run into all these little problems” with IVF, including “having polyp surgery.”

Before implantation, she visited New York City for a “last hurrah,” explaining, “I won’t be able to travel [afterwards], because I’llbe considered a high-risk pregnancy. I get to go to New York and have a good time.”
Feight and Javidsaid “I do” in April. The lead-up to their wedding (and the ensuing drama) served as a storyline throughoutShahs of Sunset‘s seventh season. The wedding itself was also filmed and aired on the Bravo show.
Shahshas followed Javid and Feight’s romance from the beginning. The couplemet on Tinderand got engaged in 2015 after over a year together.
“He’s been with me and present for every step of the way,” Javid toldE! Newsof her husband. “When you get IVF done, there is a 10-day waiting period where you come back to geta blood and urine test and wedid that together as well.”
“I really love to see how happy Tommy is and how excited and nervous,” she added. “You know, he gets to be a father!”
