A member asked:
30.4 weeks pregnant just went to doctor for pain and pressure, she said my cervix is closed but open around/outside the cervix what did she mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cervical opening: The cervical opening (os) has two parts, the internal opening which is the most important for maintaining the integrity of the pregnancy until it is delivery time, and the external opening which is visible in the vagina.
