Question: Hi Doctor,

I am 28 weeks pregnant now, and the cervix is short and soft (2.6cm) while scanning on 6th month, hence advised to insert "Susten Vagainal Progesterone tablet and Dydrofem tablet"
During the night, pelvic muscle pain and leg cramps are there, hence kindly advise some solutions to manage the muscle pain & cramps.
Also for the cervix short, any further advises other than taking rest.
