Dear Sir/mam, I understand your concerns about this pregnancy. In her case the following points should have betaken into consideration for a complete management of this case1- Due to the cramping and pelvic pressure your daughter has especially in the setting of cervical changes on ultrasound, a sterile spectrum exam must be done in order to see if the cervix is dilated, if the spectrum shows normal looking cervix, then a digital pelvic exam should be done to assess the dilation. 2- Your daughter must be put on the too to assess if she has contractions. If she doesn't then a rescue cervical circle can be done for prolongation of the pregnancy.3- urine infection must be rule out since it might be the reason for the cramping sensation. urinalysis and culture must be done.4- For the future pregnancies am early circle at around the timing for nuclei translucency can be done. Add to that vaginal progesterone also is a good idea. Best regards
