A member asked:
I'm 34 weeks & 3 days pregnant and my cervix is shortened between 1.88cm to 1.98 cm. baby's head down. how possible is preterm labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Cervical length after 34 weeks if not very useful or predictive. At this point it is not usually measured because one expects a decreasing length. Ask your doctor if you need to be given steroids to accelerate the fetal lung maturity.
