Laparoscopic tumor surgery is minimally invasive with quicker recovery—discuss tumor type, anesthesia risks, and post-op care with the surgeon.

View allI 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.
