Hi. Susten has no effect on the length of cervix . It is given for progesterone support for the baby . . Be on rest . That will help you .

Continue bed rest and tablet.
Cervical stitch helps to sustain pregnancy.
Rest and tablets might/ might not increase cervical length but it also helps to sustain pregnancy.
