What Kind Of Problems Can Happen If Uterus Is Measuring .5cm In 31 Week Pregnancy Period?

Hello:

My stepdaughter is 31-32 weeks pregnant. She began throwing up Sat and went to the hospital. Sonogram shows baby is fine, however, the Dr. is concerned as her uterus wall (?) is only measuring a .5cm and is normally 2.5 cm. They are concerned about that. What could happen due to this issue?

hi thank you
At the stage of 31-32 weeks of pregnancy the uterine wall as thin as 0.5cms and another 5-6 weeks pregnancy has to cotinue to get a matured healthy child.
Baby also increases in size which will lead to further thinning of uterine wall that fears the rupturing of uterus
By the way you didnt tell is this first pregnancy?
Any previous uterine scars?
I find this answer helpful
