I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with a precious baby girl. I go in for cervical measurements every two weeks due to a loss of twins at 23 weeks 2 years ago. So far my cervix has been measuring fine. Today, it measured about 3.5 without pressure, and 3.2 with pressure. The tech said this is normal. I asked if the cervix normally changes a little with pressure, and he said of course. He said it doesn't usually stay completely the same with pressure because there IS pressure. It's bound to change a little bit. He told me the big thing is to watch if there is any funneling, or if it significantly changes under pressure. He said my cervix shortens a tiny bit, but that it is normal. Is this true? Just want to makes sure since I'm paranoid due to a previous loss. The cervix is bound to change a tiny bit with pressure, correct? It shouldn't be exactly the same? Thank you!
 
Hi :)
I was diagnosed with incompetent cervix after giving birth to my first at 26 weeks. With my secondI wwent for a growth scan at 27 weeks and my cervix was 12 mm short and funneling was 23mm long. I put myself on moderate bed rest and had my baby at 38 weeks! Fingers crossed for u :)

ur cervix length seems fine. Its not opening nor funneling which is good.
 
My cervix was 3.2 at 18 weeks which they were happy with. My cervix was being monitored because in my first pregnancy I dilated at 21 weeks with twins. An emergency stitch was placed after 5 days which got me to 25 weeks. If it helps reassure you I delivered my son at 40+1 so it appears its just a twin pregnancy that my cervix couldn't cope with.

Good luck x
