Hello there cervical length of 2.8 cm is not normal. You need to take micronised progesterone per vaginally Or intramuscular progesterone to prevent miscarriage. And repeat cervical length at 16 week . In case cervical length less than 2.5 cm , you might require cervical encirclage procedure as well .
Health Tips
