A member asked:
At 30 weeks. i have a cervix length of 2.6cm. it was about 3cm at 22 weeks. is this normal? its closed n firm. ob checking internally weekly till term

Yes: This is normal. You will have some thinning of the cervix as you get closer to the time of delivery. It is supposed to be closed and firm at 30 weeks, but it is normal if it gets somewhat shorter.
