Question 1

what should be cervical length during 9 weeks of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

3.5-5.5 cm : At nine weeks of pregnancy is so small it would not influence the length of the cervix. Therefore the cervical length would be just as it was before you were pregnant. The average length is 3.5 to 5.5 cm.

Question 2

i have a cervix length of 3.00 cm at 20 weeks of pregnancy, is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A normal cervical length during pregnancy ranges from 3.0-5.0cm.

Question 3

my cervical length at 16 weeks pregnancy is 5 cm and at 20 weeks pregnancy is 3.5 cm.does penetration during pregnancy decrease cervical length?

Accepted Answer

: Cervical length decreases over the months of your pregnancy as the baby and uterus become bigger. This is not affected by any kind of sexual penetration, but rather occurs due to hormonal changes and physical growth of the uterus. This is a normal process and allows the cervix to become ready for delivery, when it will need to be very thin and stretch wide.

Question 4

what is a normal cervical length at 33 weeks of pregnancy?  what should the bpd, ac, hc, fl of fetus be at this gestational age?

Accepted Answer

Cervix length: Should be more than 2.5 cm, as far as the rest your OB should be able to go over all of that with you as there is a range of normal.

Question 5

for a twin pregnancy, what is considered a short cervical length?  is 2.5 cm at 24 weeks considered short (and so put me at increased risk for ptl)?

Accepted Answer

Depends: All twin pregnancy are at risk for ptl.Your cervix at 2.5 cm requires follow up with your high risk doctor to make sure is not shortening any more. Dont stress too much, make sure u let the doctor know if you get cramping, bleeding or leakage of fluid.Make sure you keep ur appts as well.

Question 6

hi i had a history of pprom at 22 weeks. my cervix length is 26mm now with out pregnancy. is cervix length 26mm when not pregnant is normal?

Accepted Answer

Probably
Probably: The normal cervix is about 35mm to 50mm. However a cervix of 25 mm, while considered shortened, is still normal. The shorter cervix may correlate to a greater chance for early delivery, but probably has nothing to do with PPROM.

Question 7

my 1st pregnancy is fullterm with no complications[vaginal delivery] this is my 2nd pregnancy and during 20 week anatomy scan, my cervix length is 3cm. iam bit worried. my doc isn't concerned at all. do you think i need a transvaginal ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

: Trust your OB doctor, do not worry if your doctor doesn't. You had a normal first pregnancy so the anatomy of your cervix should be fine for the second one. Of course, a transvaginal US will give you a better measurement but you do not need to push for it if your OB doc thinks not necessarily. Good luck with your second baby.

Question 8

during my first pregnancy, my doctor informed me that my cervical length at 19 weeks & 6 days, was 3.29cm when pressure was applied via vaginal ultrasound. is this too short since its not 4cm? i gave birth 40 weeks & 5 days?

Accepted Answer

Likely ok: You should ask your OBGYN Dr @ this also, but if you had a normal pregnancy &amp; delivery the 1st time it is likely you will again. The length of the cervix is a factor but also whether it stays closed until near the time of birth

Question 9

im 13 week pregant and my cervix length has reduced from 3.5cm to 3cm in last 13 weeks. got to know cl will reduce in pregancy and should be less than 2.5cm to avoid preterm delivery. so in coming weeks will this cl effect my pregancy by reducing?

Accepted Answer

Cervical length ?'s: It is not unusual for the cervical length to decrease during pregnancy, however, at "13 weeks" of pregnancy, the growing fetus is not generally the cause.  If you have had no prior premature labor, the majority of pregnancies to not result in an "incompetent cervix" which results in premature delivery or surgical correction.  Continued U/S to follow cervical length is advised.

Question 10

is a cervical length of 2.3cm at 31 weeks ok?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is far more important that the cervix is closed.
