A 34-year-old primiparous female patient with twin pregnancy presented in the 26th week of pregnancy with a cervical length of 11 mm, with prolapse of membranes. The patient received a special kind of bed rest and supportive proceedings and the pregnancy completed successfully at 36 weeks and 5 days.
