That depends!: Having a cervical cone biopsy is done to treat precancerous cells on the cervix. Most likely there was an important reason to do so. This can cause an incompetent cervix depending on the cervical length that is left. The average cervix is 4 cm. It matters the most how much the inner layer of the cervix measures and that it is closed. If it is less then 2.5 cm you may need a cerclage when pregnant.
