Cervical Length in Early Pregnancy. Cervical length during pregnancy is usually associated with preterm labor that begins before you're 37 weeks pregnant. A premature birth is likely to happen when your cervix is still short. Under normal circumstances, your cervix is rigid and close.
With some women the water breaks, and then they begin to have contractions. In the first stage of labor, the cervix will dilate from closed, which is its normal state, to fully open at 10 cm in diameter. 1  The cervix dilates between 0 and 4 cm.  Contractions start farther apart, 10 to 20 minutes apart.
