Where should the cervix be at end of pregnancy?

First and toward the end

i was told by my doctor that the normal length of cervix canal during pregnancy should be 30mm.

i guess its never totally closed? so i should say in early pregnancy the cervix is "closed".

The cervical opening should be small in the early stages of pregnancy. A closed cervix is a good indicator of a healthy pregnancy.

my cervix is high soft and closed and I'm 5 weeks preg.

During early pregnancy your cervix should not .....repeat not be open (dilated) at all. Later in your third trimester you may become 1-2cm dilated, this is a sign that labor is near.

There is no specific "position" for the cervix to be in, if conception has occured. It will vary from woman to woman, and should not be relied upon to determine conception and pregnancy.

The cervix will normally feel firm (like the tip of your nose) when not pregnant. In pregnancy, the cervix normally rises (is higher up) and is softer (like feeling your lips with your fingers). This may vary between women and can sometimes not be noticed until late pregnancy so it is not a reliable indicator of pregnancy.

Response 1: You should not be attempting to feel your cervix at any time during pregnancy. Please leave this to your physician to do--if you were to use too much pressure or attempt to insert anything into your vagina, you might end up doing damage to your unborn baby. Until the very end stages of pregnancy, the cervix is thick and closed, and about all you can feel or see is the very outside of…

A womans cervix changes while her body is going through ovulation, period, progesterone cycles and vaginal discharge. I wouldn't rely on the cervix as being a indication of pregnancy. Do a pregnancy test.

It shouldn't, in pregnancy a cervix should be closed if your cerix was open more that 2.5 mm they would consider you for a 'stitch' to ensure that the cervix is closed and the baby isn't born early. My advice is go to the doctor and tell them your concern there are tests they can do and sooner rather than later is better.

i have heard that might be a sign of pregnancy due to the extra blood flow when your pregnancy, you should take a pg test to see

I noticed mine to be low, I didn't no anything about cervix's back then and wondered what the hell it was!!

A pregnancy in which the zygote implants in the fallopian tube abdomen ovary or the cervix is called an Ectopic pregnancy.

A cervix does not necessarily feel different during early pregnancy. A firm feeling cervix that has drop lower to the usual position may be an indicator for a pregnancy, but this may also be the case during common menstrual cycles and might not be related to a pregnancy at all.

for most women high and soft but some women already have a low lying cervix prior to falling pregnant. So High or Low & Soft.

Um... "no cervix at all"? If there really is literally no cervix, pregnancy could occur but will probably result in miscarriage, since the cervix is the main support that holds the fetus in the womb until it comes to term. Short cervix is one of the main predictors of preterm birth for the same reason.

Your cervix does not grow during pregnancy but the uterus does.

Not until the final few weeks, unless there is a medical reason or concern.

The cervix is normal up until around the time of labor.

The cervix is normal until a woman starts going into labor.

The only way to directly check your cervix safely is at a doctor's office.

I just found out im pregnant and I have had very tender cervix.

I have never heard of anyone being able to see their cervix. Take a pregnancy test if you are unsure. If you can see your cervix you have a prolapse not a pregnancy and you need to see a doctor NOW.

A closed cervix outside of pregnancy may be an idiopathic, treatable condition. Idiopathic means we don't know what causes it.

A 'stretch and sweep' or 'membrane sweep' is a form of induction used at the end of pregnancy. The practitioner (ob or midwife) will 'sweep' the membranes surrounding the baby in the area of the cervix. This is done with the finger (as opposed to an instrument) with the intention of separating these membranes from the cervix, inducing labor. For some it is painless, for others is creates the sensation of contractions.

This means you have a short cervix. I am 22 weeks and my cervix is also 2.1 cm and I have been ordered to bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy and I may also have to get a cerclage which is a type of stitch they use for extra support for your baby. Having a short cervix during pregnancy increases the chance of preterm labor and even misscarriage. The farther along in your…

During pregnancy, the cervix becomes closed and blue or purple in color. Also the cervical mucus tends increase due to hormonal changes.

I would only put a period at the end.

The cervix has no bearing on early symptoms of pregnancy; you are confusing facts about what happens to the cervix during labor. The cervix always feels "hard" except in labor. The best determiner of pregnancy is HPT or a blood test which both look for a rise in hormones.

During ovulation the cervix is soft, high,open and wet. Around the time of menstruation the cervix is low and hard. I've heard OB/GYNs making this analogy when referring to a pregnant vs. non-pregnant cervix: A non-pregnant cervix feels like a hard, unripe piece of fruit, while a pregnant cervix is more like an almost over-ripe plum. It becomes very tender and engorged with blood, especially early on in pregnancy.In the early stages of pregnancy you…

Cervix becomes soft at 4 weeks pregnancy. Not only cervix but uterus also becomes soft. Gynecologist is very careful while doing termination of pregnancy. ( Suction and evacuation.) Otherwise perforation of uterus occurs. Non-pregnant uterus is a tough structure and duringD and C, (Dilatation and curettage.) uterus does not get perforated, unless you want to perforate it.

Cervix does not opens up during the pregnancy. It is the safety mechanism by which baby is protected from getting delivered prematurely. It protects the baby from the infection coming from the vagina. It is the need of the hour to open up the cervix to have the baby delivered at term.

Yes they can. If a woman has a weak cervix or if the embryo is implanted in a spot it should not be. (i.e. ectopic pregnancy)

It can not prevent or end pregnancy but if you are pregnant you should avoid it.

It doesn't. The cervix becomes very elastic during pregnancy, size doesn't matter.

No. It becomes high and hard. Towards the end of pregnancy it may appear to move backwards as the baby's head comes down in front of it. But as you get ready for labor it will soften and flatten and start to open (Effacement and dilation)

to hold the baby in place during pregnancy

during labor!

your baby will fall out

Sometimes there is light bleeding (of the pinkish variety) after intercourse because the cervix is very sensitive when you are pregnant. Always keep a eye on ANY bleeding though. Congrats on your pregnancy!

the cervix is the upper part of the vagina/lower part of the uterus. during the latent phase of labor, the cervix begins dilating. (opening). then the contractions of the uterus intensify and push the fetus past the cervix and out through the vagina

Increased sneezing during pregnancy is very common. Mucus increases during pregnancy, not just in your cervix!

No. The cervix is at the back end of the vagina.

during pregnancy your cervix is usually 4cm or 40 mm whatever your using to measure. Not sure if its different while your not pregnant

Cervix can be more tender in Pregnancy. So any exams or sex could cause discomfort. If you are ready to deliver it could be the baby putting pressure on the cervix or dilation. Hard to say not knowing anymore details. When in doubt call your ob. mom of 2

The cervix sits higher, it becomes thicker and develops a bluish color, very early in pregnancy. It eventually opens so that the baby can proceed through the birthing canal and out of the mother's body.

If you are that close to the end of your pregnancy, you should be talking to your doctor/birthing team etc.

You should ask your doctor. But it may be that the baby's placenta is low in your uterus and covering the cervix. If this is the case this link may help.
