I am 24 weeks pregnant and went to the doctor and she told me that my cervix is open but it is long does anyone know what that means. I had meant to ask what it meant but was so excited about finding out I was having a girl that I didn't. This is my 3rd child and the other two were both induced because my cervix would not dilate on its own or get soft.

After you've had a child or more, usually your cervix never closes all the way back up. It doesn't matter if you were induced or not, as long as it was a vaginal delivery. Being long, it means that your uterus has not started pushing the baby down to make your cervix thin out or efface. Being open on it's own isn't dangerous as long as you aren't like 2cms dialated already. If you have ANY contractions however, you should go to the dr right away.

I would call my doctor immediately if a scan showed your cervix is open this early. As the baby grows the weight of her will cause your cervix to open further and you'll lose the pregnancy. Definately get your doctor's opinion of what needs to be done now. He may suggest a cerclage to be placed or possibly bed rest. Your cervix should not be open at this point.

It capacity while exertions starts off it is going to circulate speedy, in case you incredibly are 5cm dilated or open already. It does no longer mean something plenty approximately while it is going to start up however. commonly at this element you pays attention your cervix became into midway effaced or thinned out, that is nice progression besides yet no longer as drastic.

long means you have not begun to eface, which is good. An open cervex is not uncommon, but it should be watched, incase you begin to dialate before you are full term.
