The cervix is designed to shorten and widen with your pre-labor contractions. If it does this without contractions it is said to be incompetent. If the cervix is unable to remain closed during pregnancy, this may cause preterm labor. If a doctor decides your cervix is incompetent, he may suggest a cervical cerclage.
