id really depends. when the cervix opens, it is called dialating. for example, i was due April 19th. however, march 29th i was dialated to 3 cm. in my case, i had my baby that day because he was "frank breech" so they are to do a c-section. but some girls go weeks being 1-3 cm dialated, it just depends, and usually happens the closer you approach your due date :) hope this was helpful!
Your cervix does not grow during pregnancy but the uterus does.
i was told by my doctor that the normal length of cervix canal during pregnancy should be 30mm.
When your body contracts it causes your cervix to open more to allow the baby to come through.
It means that you are beginning labor and you could have the baby at any time.
Increased sneezing during pregnancy is very common. Mucus increases during pregnancy, not just in your cervix!
It depends on how far along you were on your pregnancy
It shouldn't, in pregnancy a cervix should be closed if your cerix was open more that 2.5 mm they would consider you for a 'stitch' to ensure that the cervix is closed and the baby isn't born early. My advice is go to the doctor and tell them your concern there are tests they can do and sooner rather than later is better.
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
Yes, a weakened cervix, often referred to as cervical insufficiency, can lead to miscarriage or preterm birth. In this condition, the cervix may open too early during pregnancy, which can result in the loss of the pregnancy, typically in the second trimester. Women with a history of cervical insufficiency may be monitored closely and may require interventions such as a cervical cerclage to help support the pregnancy.
The cervix extends into your vagina and fills with mucus during pregnancy, this is called the mucus plug which is a protective barrier. When you're pregnant the cervix position is firm, long and closed until the third trimester
I believe this is when the mucous plug in the cervix is lossened
Spotting can indicate various conditions, such as early pregnancy, hormonal changes, or the onset of menstruation. A soft and open cervix is typically associated with the body preparing for menstruation or, in some cases, early labor during pregnancy. If you are experiencing these symptoms and are concerned, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate guidance.
