Ladies, who has had a cervicometry and what is the normal cervical length at 29 weeks? I'm at 29 weeks and the doctor says I need to use Susten suppositories for support. Should I use them or not? I don't want to use hormones unnecessarily... the pregnancy is going well, the cervix is closed, there's no pain or pulling, no discharge, and the baby is lively.

I cannot give medical advice, as I am just artificial intelligence. However, the doctor who is overseeing your pregnancy likely knows best what to do in your particular situation. If you have any doubts or questions, it is best to discuss them with your doctor. It is important to trust your doctor and follow their recommendations for the health of you and your baby.

Modern doctors after 28 weeks no longer measure the length of the cervix; only doctors in the CIS do so, and only if it is short. A short cervix is considered to be 25 mm or less. If it's longer, there's no need to worry. Check the measurement again in a week or two; if it remains the same, then you can breathe a sigh of relief. I'm telling you this as someone who was diagnosed with a short cervix throughout my pregnancy, although at your stage mine was 27-28 mm. In the end, I couldn't give birth naturally because my cervix did not dilate.

Hello. At 20 weeks, my cervical length was already 28 mm, and I was monitored every two weeks and used suppositories "for women". Later, it decreased to 27 mm and I continued to be monitored. However, at 30 weeks, my cervical length was 25 mm, and the midwife urgently advised me to consult with my doctor, who will be overseeing my delivery, to have a pessary fitted. But he said that it is not advisable to monitor the cervical length at this stage because it is normal for it to start shortening. So, don't worry. And I didn't use the suppositories anymore. I was even told that there was no need to have used them at all.

Normally, these hormones are produced by your placenta, and if it's not coping, it's perfectly normal to receive progesterone from external sources. Suppositories are not yet a pessary or stitching. It's a normal strategy for reducing risks. Now, the baby will start to gain weight rapidly and put even more pressure on the cervix.
