Thats normal: Your cervix only opens a millimeter or so to allow blood to be expelled from the uterus. It doesnt have to be grossly open. It's a normal finding to have a closed cervix. Dont worry about that. Once you have a few kids, it will remain open grossly. Best wishes Dr M

Your cervix: is always closed unless you are miscarrying or delivering a baby. That is normal that it remain closed.
