Question 9

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 10

is your cervix low and open in the early stages of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Not normally: The cervix should be relatively thick (>35mm) in the early stages of pregnancy.  A short cervix increases the likelihood of a premature delivery.  If the cervix is open, the risk is much higher, and may warrant the placement of a cerclage to hold the cervix closed until about 36 weeks.
