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.
As your due date gets closer, your cervix will begin to stretch (efface) and open (dilate) to prepare for your babyâs birth. In some women, particularly if this is their second or third pregnancy, the cervix may efface and dilate slowly over a period of weeks.
