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.
Being familiar with your cervix can also help you understand effacement; that is when the cervix prepares itself for the birth of your baby. Once engaged (at around 36 weeks), your baby will drop closer to the cervix. At this stage of the pregnancy your cervix will be softer and thinner the closer to your due date.
