A member asked:

28 weeks pregnant. short cervix 24,8 ( was 37 at 22 weeks) and less afi (9,6 (5 percentile) is there any link? afi was 15,9 at 22 weeks, no leakage.

Yes, there is a: link between short cervix and low amniotic fluid. Both are associated with early labor and delivery. However, preterm labor & delivery aren't inevitable even with these numbers. Ask your doctor what precautions you can take to minimize the risk of early labor and deliver. Best wishes. Dr. Anne
