You can't see your cervix. I'm not sure why you would think it's open. Have you put your finger in your vagina to feel it? If you do that, it should feel soft like your lips if you're pregnant. If you aren't pregnant it should feel hard like the tip of your nose.

∙ 13y agoIf you have had one or more babies previously, the cervix may not completely close after birth and so is slightly open during the next pregnancy. This does not mean that the woman is in labor. Labor is diagnosed when there are contractions that increase in length, strength and duration accompanied with effacement (thinning and shortening) and dilation of the cervix.

Is it possible for the cervix to be open during early pregnancy when you are only 5 weeks and 6 days If yes what causes this and is it a sign of an impending miscarriage?
it is called an incompetent cervix, it can be caused by damaged during a previous birth or a previous surgury on the cervix. and from the cervix bein open it can cause a miscarriage, so that wouldn't happen you would need a cerclage which is a procedure in which the doctor will sew the cervix closed with sutures to reinforce the cervix and prevent it from dilating to early... hopefully this would help you because it sure helped me
If your cervix is open 1 cm what does that mean?
it all depends if you have had children before and how far along you are. i am currently 13 weeks pregnant and can fit one finger in my cervix which means i amm 1 cm dialated. i am on my fifth pregnancy and it is normal for my cervix to be like this as it never returns to its same shape after childbirth and will always be slightly open. just because your outer cervix feels open it does not mean you are open inside as your mucus plug seals it all up. i would keep an eye if it is your first pregnancy as some women suffer from incompetent cervix which causes the cervix to dialate too early. symptoms of this is increased pelvic pressure with or without period cramps or spotting. to ease your worries i can say that this is very rare and when it does happen it generally happens between 14 to 20 weeks. good luck to you
