What does it mean that i'm open from the inside and not from the outside when i'm 25wks pregnant?

Cervical funneling?: I am guessing that you are talking about your cervix being dilated. If the internal cervix is open, but the external is closed, this is called funneling. It puts you at higher risk of preterm labor and delivery. Talk to your doctor about how you should be followed more closely and what modifications to your daily activity are advised.
