I am 16 weeks and my cervix is measured at 2.3cm, but closed. Should I be worried?

    We don't know your medical history or symptoms other than the cervical measurement. This is a very very good question to ask your doc though!

    That is short especially for 16 weeks. What does your dr say? Have you been referred to an MFM? I don't know your situation, but I would definitely start pushing for a cerclage ASAP.

    How did they measure it?  Transvaginal or abdominal ultrasound.  Mine measured short around 12-13 weeks.  They checked again at 14-15 weeks and it was 'normal'...then I had something else check at 19 weeks and they noticed it was 1.7 cm with funneling...I got an SOS cerclage.  I would definitely discuss with your ob/gyn about the length and pros/cons to a cerclage.

    Yes that's short for 16 weeks. I was measuring between 3.9 and 4.4 at 16 wks and by 24 wks I was down to 1.9. I would definitely start discussing options with your OB/MFM.

    Ask your doctor. If they know it's that short that early then they should have a plan in place.

    Mine was 2.2 at 16 weeks, they gave me progesterone suppositories which I will take until 34-36 weeks. Currently, I am 22 weeks and I have had weekly checks since 16 weeks. As of last weeks my cervix measured at 2.7 and it has been stable for the past five weeks.
