 Incompetent cervix:
Sorry, I had to change your category to general health, because topics in married women section can't be opened fro some reason. I think by short cervix you mean incompetent cervix, which is a risk factor for premature labor. Besides progesterone pessaries, your another option is a surgical procedure called Cervical Cerclage. Basically, this procedure involves placement of stitches on the cervix around the 12-14 th week of pregnancy, minimizing the risk of premature labor, and then these stitches are removed around week 37, allowing for normal vaginal delivery. |
