Hello! With the question "Is the cervical length 27mm at 16 weeks pregnant?" The doctor advises as follows: The bigger the pregnancy, the longer the cervix changes. Normally, at about 24 weeks of pregnancy, the cervical length will be 35mm, and in the case of 16 weeks pregnant, the 27mm cervix is ​​short. Children with this condition will be more likely to be born prematurely than normal people.
