Cervical Length in Early Pregnancy. Cervical length during pregnancy is usually associated with preterm labor that begins before you're 37 weeks pregnant. A premature birth is likely to happen when your cervix is still short. Under normal circumstances, your cervix is rigid and close.
During the second stage of labor, your cervix is fully dilated (opened) and ready for childbirth. Your health provider wants you to begin pushing so your baby can be born. This stage can last as short as 20 minutes or as long as several hours, especially for first-time moms.
