A member asked:
During pregnancy, what does it mean for your cervix to be fingertip length open? does that mean i am dialating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That means your cervix is open about 0.5 cm . If you are having contractions and are full term you can be in early labor.If its not your first pregnancy or had kids vaginally then dilatationof cervix can be a normal finding even in early pregnancy.
