She also has the history of preterm bihs at 30 and 32 weeks during her last 2 pregnancies. What is the best step in the management of this patient?

A
USG to see cervical length & decide next management
B
Apply Cervical Cerclage by 12 weeks
C
Complete bed rest till bility is achieved
D
Provide low dose Tocolysis with salbutamol till bility
High-Yield Explanation
Management consists of doing a cerclage around 12-14 weeks. A 'post conization' cervix & previous preterm bihs are more than sufficient indications for this. Doing the cervical length assessment is pa of the work up here than the definitive management. Tocolysis or bed rest alone will not prevent an Aboion / Preterm labour in a previously challenged cervix.
