I had two wavering opinions on this..so I give you in the scenarios they set out for me..First opinion and the obst I didnt go with lol
!. Stich was to placed in at 12 weeks and then proceed to steriods and hospitalisation at 23 weeks. This was to be done all the way up to delievery. He didnt have much hope of me going past 27 weeks
2. Stitch at 13.5 weeks then limited bedrest with the suture to be checked every fortnight..It never shortened so they seemed pretty convienced I wasnt going to be in need of steriods. I had a slight bleed at 30 weeks and they re-evaulated the position and length of my cervix and decided to allow nature to continue on its course...nothing eventuated
Interesting tho...on my medical notes as below
Cx suture at 14 weeks
Cx tracking after suture Nifedipine for Cx shortening
I think they will only suggest steriods if they think you wont get to 30 weeks ~so between 24-30 weeks if thing drastically deteriote~
But in saying this I thought I was destined to have a prem baby my track record aint that great and I got to 37 ok

ETA : I didnt get that drug that is in my notes..if you are worried maybe ask your obst
