Dr. Cook:
So if we see early shortening of the cervix, we may restrict her activity more. Short of that, they usually can still drive a vehicle, they can still attend church functions, restaurants, movies, they can do things of that nature and we just continue to follow them closely during the pregnancy to see if we need to restrict that anymore. But like I said, we don’t want the women feeling house-confined or bedridden just because they have a multiple gestation.
