Reading a lot about pregnancy lately and got curious about this. I keep seeing terms like cervix closed in reports and dont fully understand what it means. can someone explain in simple words?
I had this same doubt and asked my doc at my scan. She said it remains closed and sealed, which honestly made me feel calmer. Did anyone get the length checked in their scan too?
Haan it stays closed the whole time and only starts opening when labour begins. Thats the whole point, it keeps baby safe inside. Nothing for you to do, your body manages it.
I had a slightly weak cervix issue so they monitored mine closely with scans. Normally it stays shut to protect baby, but if you have any history of early labour or cramps please get it checked by doctor, dont assume.
Yes, the cervix stays closed and there is a mucus plug that seals it during pregnancy, my doctor explained this to me. It opens up only near labour. If you ever feel a gush of water or spotting before due time, call your gynac.
