Answer
Cervical length refers to measuring the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) during pregnancy. A short cervix can increase the risk of preterm labor and delivery. Your doctor will monitor this through an ultrasound. Your doctor will regularly measure the cervix using ultrasound, paying careful attention to its length.
If the cervical length is considered too short, interventions like bed rest, medication, or even surgical cerclage (stitching the cervix) may be recommended to reduce the risk of premature birth.
