A member asked:

Is rest, vaginal progesterone suppositories, a zpak, and a recheck in 1 week a good plan of treatment for a 9mm cervix at 19weeks pregnant?

Depends: Bed rest never been proven to decrease the risk of preterm delivery. Can increase the risk of complications.Progesterone may do some good.Z pack it s ok only if you have chlamidia or other infection.Otherwise it s useless. You need a proper diagnosys( incompetent cervix versus preterm labor) and treated accrodingly.
