A member asked:
18 weeks pregnant. dr. felt pressure on my cervix. will this pressure cause me to dialate or go into preterm labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not enough info: Feeling pressure on a cervix is not a true clinical assessment or diagnosis. I would ask your doctor what they meant by that statement and if any follow-up tests are needed.
