There can be observer variation in measuring length of cervix. As long as it is more than 2.5 cm there is nothing to worry. Also if you have not gone into preterm labour before chances are very low unless your pregnancy this time has developed any new complications. You can continue to take susten tablet as advised but there is no evidence to show that bed rest in pregnancy prevents preterm labour.
