I'm currently in my 7th month of pregnancy, and during my last scan, the doctor noted that my cervical length is 2.9. I'm really worried about whether this could lead to any complications or if there's a chance of going into early labor. Can you give me some advice or let me know what I should be looking out for?

I'm really worried about my wife's nasal congestion. She's 21 weeks pregnant and it's been really severe. She already took a Montek LC but it doesn't seem to be helping with the cold. Could you tell me which nasal drop would be safe for her to use in the second trimester of pregnancy?
