Which exercise is best for irregular periods?

Exercise is an effective way to maintain a healthy weight. Because being overweight can cause irregular periods, reducing weight may make periods more regular. Any kind of aerobic exercise, walking, jogging, running, yoga are good. What's important is to have a regular exercise, not the type of exercise.

I'm really concerned because at my 11th week scan, my cervix length was 4.6 cm, but now in my 20th week, it's dropped to 3 cm. The radiologist said everything looks normal and there's no funneling, but I'm still worried. Should I be concerned about this change?

no problem you consult to gynecologist
