[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Routine universal cervical length screening in the midtrimester does not accurately predict subsequent preterm birth. It is far more likely that you will make it to term than deliver early, even with a short cervix. There are no proven treatments to prevent preterm birth, or at least none that have shown conclusive evidence of benefit.[/quote]

This is not true when there is a history of preterm delivery. Jesus. [/quote]

This is absolutely true. Nothing has been proven to treat premature births. This is why I decided not to do the mekena. [/quote]

Cerclages. Makena is for preterm contractions and labor. It is approved by FDA safe and effective. Cerclages are for IC. Bed rest has never been proven to be beneficial, but that only means that the study has not been done. It is still widely used, particularly by MFMs who have track resorts of excellent results. You are just misinformed. [/quote]

Here is information about Makena from its pivotal trial. https://makenahcp.com/about-makena/efficacy/

It absolutely has evidence of effectiveness. [/quote]
