I just had my TIFFA scan at 21 weeks, and it showed that my cervix length is 2.9 cm. Is this normal? My doctor mentioned it's on the shorter side. Should I be concerned? Can I still do exercises, or is there something else I should be doing?

A cervix length of 2.9 cm at 21 weeks is considered short, increasing the risk of preterm labor; your doctor may recommend cervical cerclage, progesterone supplements, or pelvic rest; exercises like Kegel's and pelvic tilts may be beneficial, but consult your doctor before starting any new exercises or treatments.

I'm two months pregnant and my doctor suggested I take doxinate for managing nausea. I'm just wondering, when's the best time to take doxinate during the first trimester?

-Hi! You can take Doxinate 30 minutes before meals, especially in the morning, to help prevent nausea throughout the day. If your nausea worsens at specific times, adjust accordingly, like taking it at night for morning sickness. Always follow your doctor
