: Trust your OB doctor, do not worry if your doctor doesn't. You had a normal first pregnancy so the anatomy of your cervix should be fine for the second one. Of course, a transvaginal US will give you a better measurement but you do not need to push for it if your OB doc thinks not necessarily. Good luck with your second baby.
