Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the absence of intake of medicines might not hamper your pregnancy in your case.
Because till now the growth of the fetus is adequate for the gestational age.
I suggest you to get your blood work up done to know the HB status.
From now on its enough if you take iron rich diet like green leafy veggies,dates,figs,zaggery,liver etc and iron supplements.
The dosage of iron tablet will be based on your HB status.
Coming to TT injections you can complete the TT injection 2 doses during the course of pregnancy before delivery.
2 doses are given each one month apart.
Also take calcium rich diet and calcium supplements.
Take healthy nutritional diet.
Adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day to prevent urinary tract infection (UTI) is needed.
Just I want to tell you regarding the cervical length of 2.8 cm which comes to be near to term short cervix.
So take strict bed rest. Avoid physical strain to prevent complications.
Also the intercourse might be better avoided keeping in view the short cervix.
Usually stich is applied for short cervix but as you are 28 weeks the application of stich might not be that useful.
Anyway discuss regarding that with your doctor.
Otherwise nothing to worry.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
