What Does This Cervical Length Of 2.6cm Indicate?

Hello.....
I'm currently 29weeks 3 days and my last scanning was done 3 days back so was told that it's 30 weeks but my cervical length is short which is 2.6cm but internal and external os is closed.As per Dr nothing to worry because it's closed,but I'm really worried about premature delivery.


Please advice me ...

well cervical length should be 3.5 cm minimum

but as you are at 29 weeks you are in safe zone as this period your cervix is already pulled up giving a rough estimate

exact length is calculated in first trimester
