I am 22 weeks pregnant my cervix is 2.1 cm what does that mean?
This means you have a short cervix. I am 22 weeks and my cervix is also 2.1 cm and I have been ordered to bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy and I may also have to get a cerclage which is a type of stitch they use for extra support for your baby. Having a short cervix during pregnancy increases the chance of preterm labor and even misscarriage. The farther along in your pregnancy the more weight and pressure on your cervix
How often should your cervix be checked during pregnancy?
Not until the final few weeks, unless there is a medical reason or concern.
Can sperm soften the cervix while pregnant?
No. Sex during pregnancy is fine right up until the last few weeks.
Im 32 weeks and the doctor said your cervix is in the front what does it mean?
This means that your uterus is retroverted or upside down and/or backwards. It is something to watch out for during pregnancy for the health of the mother and baby.
Is it possible for the cervix to be open during early pregnancy when you are only 5 weeks and 6 days If yes what causes this and is it a sign of an impending miscarriage?
it is called an incompetent cervix, it can be caused by damaged during a previous birth or a previous surgury on the cervix. and from the cervix bein open it can cause a miscarriage, so that wouldn't happen you would need a cerclage which is a procedure in which the doctor will sew the cervix closed with sutures to reinforce the cervix and prevent it from dilating to early... hopefully this would help you because it sure helped me
Im 9 weeks pregnant but cervix exam and ultrasound sHow is 5 weeks?
That happens sometimes. As the pregnancy progresses, the clincial picture will become clearer.
When does the cervix open completely during pregnancy?
The cervix is always closed, it only starts opening towards the end of pregnancy just befor you go into labor. The mucus plug forms somewhere between 8 and 12 weeks. That completely is not true. The cervix is always open, only a tiny bit, or else sperm would have no way of entering. There is a tiny opening of the cervix at all times for sperm to enter, and for you to pass blood during a period. Once fertilization takes place, the cervix is "sealed" by what is known as a "mucous plug". During the early stages of labor, the mucous plug comes out which is one of the first signs a woman is truly in active labor. Once that happens, the cervix begins the dilate once contractions start being more persistent and close together, up until the baby is born if it is a normal pregnancy. If the cervix does not dilate, there are a number of things that can be done by a doctor to help the cervix to dilate. If everything fails, a C-Section will take place to deliver the baby. After birth, it takes a while for the cervix to completely close up again and it is extremely easy to get pregnant. Also, it is very easy for bacteria to get up into the cervix and cause infection, so all doctors recommend you do not take a bath or get in a jacuzzi for at least 6 wks. Also, if you dilate early way before time for the baby to be born, which is what I did, they also recommend (if your water breaks prematurely) to not sit down in a bath because bacteria can go up into your cervix and cause infection, not only in your uterus, but it may also spread to the baby.
Is it normal to have 2.5 cms cervical length during 18 weeks of pregnancy?
During pregnancy, a woman's cervix can measure between 2.5 - 4.0 cm with the average being close to 3.0 cm. As the due date approaches, the cervix becomes shorter (effacement). At 18 weeks, you probably had your cervix measured during your level 2 sonogram. If you are concerned that your length is a little lower than the average, you can get a second opinion. There can be some degree of technician error and you could have a higher reading the second time. A cervical length less than 1.5 cm during the second trimester is associated with preterm birth. In such cases, woman are limited to strict bed rest.
What should your cervix feel like at 4 weeks pregnant?
Cervix becomes soft at 4 weeks pregnancy. Not only cervix but uterus also becomes soft. Gynecologist is very careful while doing termination of pregnancy. ( Suction and evacuation.) Otherwise perforation of uterus occurs. Non-pregnant uterus is a tough structure and duringD and C, (Dilatation and curettage.) uterus does not get perforated, unless you want to perforate it.
How many weeks makes seven months during pregnancy?

What happens during your first weeks of pregnancy?
You die
I am 27 weeks and my cervix is starting to thin does this mean I'll go into labor before my due date?
My friend is 27 weeks and her cervix is also starting to thin. Her ob said it is likely she will deliver early. Her first baby was born @ 34 weeks but her cervix wasn't checked through that pregnancy so its hard to know if that is what happened in her first pregnancy as well. Her ob said she will probably deliver again aroung 34 weeks but hopefully closer towards 36 weeks. This doesn't mean it will happen to you. Get some expert advice from your ob or a midwife. Good luck .
