View allI'm a bit worried about a recent situation and need some advice. My wife and I had sex on the night of May 19th. Her menstrual cycle is about 26 days long, and her last period started on May 11th. We got concerned because we thought it might have been her fertile window, so she took an emergency contraceptive pill the next morning on May 20th. What are the chances she could still get pregnant given the timing and everything?

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?
