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.
You can even relax in the bath after your water breaks if you want to. After 12 hours of these light contractions, your cervix may only be dilated 1 centimeter. It may be another 12 hours or more before the cervix is dilated to 4-5 centimeters and active labor kicks in. So be prepared for a long, slow early labor if your cervix hasnât softened during pregnancy.
