Brief Answer:
High chance of preterm delivery
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
There are high chances of preterm delivery in your case to the tune of 60-70% which is very high.
So bed rest with foot end elevation is the best treatment and if supplemented by cyclogest the chances of reaching term will increase.
There is no need to get the stitch as such as stitch application can precipitate labor pains and many studies disagree on stitch application after 24 weeks of gestation.
So better take as much rest as possible and avoid intercourse along with any kind of physical or mental stress.
May god bless you with a healthy baby soon.
