Cervical Length at 30 Weeks!
Hello Doctor,
My wife is 30W-4D pregnant.
Got USG done 4 days back. Everything was fine except cervical length of 2.8, which doc said, is little short of normal.
She prescribed Suprox SR tablet for next 15 days.
What is the use of this tablet? How can the cervical length be naturally increased?
Her BP, Sugar is fine. Hb is 10.1 at 30 Weeks. EFW - 1500gm.

Suprox SR doesn't increase the length of the cervix. It just makes the uterus quiet so that it doesn't start contracting before the due date. So she will not go into pre term labour.
For further information please consult with me on Practo.
