Cervix length?

Does anyone know their cervix length?  I was having some cramping last week and so the OB checked it and said it was 3.5.  She seemed happy with that and said that it was good, but I keep reading other people who are at 5 or over 5.  I am curious where you are "supopsed' to be and when does it get dangerous?  TIA!

    I was never at 5. Even around 16 wks I wasn't. My doctor was concerned if it got under 3.0 earlier on in the pregnancy, but his "real" number was 2.5. It also does change from week to week. One week I would be 3.9 and then down to 3.1 and then back up. It depends on how the babies are positioned, how much standing you are doing, ect.

    ?

    HTH?

    Yeah, I guess I should have asked the OB for clarification, but I always seem to think of these things after I leave!

    I was 4.5 yesterday.  My OB said they like to see it above 3 (so I'd be happy with 3.5).  Your OB will let you know when to worry, try not to freak yourself out.

    At my appointment yesterday, I was 4.something. My doctor claims that this measurement is longer than average, so I'm guessing you're fine. I really have NO idea what you're "supposed" to be.

    I was 2.1 with pressure around 2 and half weeks ago, but I haven't been checked since 33 weeks 3 days so I have no idea what I am now...I know I was lower than 3 with pressure around 26 weeks and that's why I had to stop working.

    Good question! I was 3.4 today and they were very happy with that. I thought she said they like to see at least 2.5, but my DH swears she said 2.0.

    Mine was 4.5 around 20 weeks, but down to 3.7 last week. He checks it when I complain that my pressure gets worse. He was very pleased with my measurements.

    My doctor said anything between 4-3.5 is normal.  Mine was 3.8 at 16 weeks.  She said she doesn't worry too much until it reaches less than 3.

    My MFM wanted me above 2.5. I was usually 3.7/3.5 until I started funneling and dropped to 1 during funneling.

    I was put on procardia to stop contractions and then brethine.

    Mine was 5.7 cm today at my growth ultrasound.  I was shocked, didn't know they could be that long.
