Thinned cervix

So I just have a quick question.

I'm a high risk pregnancy with a gastroschisis baby. They are monitoring me weekly with ultrasounds and NSTs. Last week, when they checked my cervix I was 3 cm long, normal length they told me. Today, a week later, they said it went down to a 2 cm thinned, and if it goes below a 2 then they will start me on shots.

I am 30 weeks and 3 days pregnant now and a lot gastroschisis pregnancies do not go past 35 weeks (what I've heard) and they have me scheduled for an induction date when I turn 37 weeks. Is it normal for a 2cm thinned cervix at 30 weeks? Just looking for a few others with this

Tia!

Ps I did put this on the high risk board but only received 1 post and was going to see if anyone here had anything similar :)

    Are these measurements by sonogram and by internal exam? What kind of shots are they talking about? Steroid shots for lung maturity in case you deliver early?

    It's an internal because I've been having bad cramping. And since my pregnancy is a high risk they wanted to check.

    Honestly I'm not for sure yet about the shots. The ultrasound guys told me about the shots, but they just said shots, didn't name a specific one.

    That's short for 30 weeks. Are you bed rest? They may give you steroid shots for lo's lungs

    No they haven't put me on it yet. He said if it gets any shorter then they will be and start giving Me shots. Idk I felt weird about it. The ultrasound guy sounded more nervous about it then my acutal doctor. My doctor was "nope you are fine"

    They will be checking me internally once a week until I deliver. Baby's head is so far down that it's been hard to get an acurate reading from the outside.

    I would refuse the internals every week. It's going to irritate u and possible cause infection. You should be on bed rest. 2.5 length cervix is called for BEDREST especially at 30 weeks. I would be upset.
