It is difficult and may carry heavy complications, but it is possible. If a woman without a cervix becomes pregnant, there is a high likelihood of miscarriage. If that does not occur, then bed rest is often prescribed up to 30 weeks; premature birth and the water breaking prior to being full term may also be likely. However, it is possible to get pregnant and have a child without a cervix.
There is also gynaecological condition called "Incompetent cervix" which means the cervix isn't doing its job very well, and surgeons sometimes stich it up so that a pregnancy can continue at least until the baby is viable.
This was known as a Shirodkar Suture. You can read more about it here http://www.ask.com/web?q=shirodkar%20suture&o=101484&l=dis There are dozens of explanations and articles.
Women with no cervix (and a history of PTL, PROM or miscarriage) can also opt to have the transabdominal cerclage (TAC) which is a mersilene band around the uterine/cervical junction.
