WHAT IS A WEAK CERVIX? (CERVICAL INSUFFICIENCY)

Let me use every day language

When your doctor says your cervix is weak whist you are pregnant, this is what he is saying

The cervix is the opening of the uterus

When you are pregnant it has to be firm and closed.

This will help maintain the pregnancy( cervical sufficiency)

On the other hand if it is weak, it’s length shortens, it is easily taken up, meaning it can easily open with little pressure. (Cervical insufficiency)

When this happens when your pregnancy grows and it becomes heavy. The little pressure can lead to an abortion.

If you have had previous continues miscarriages in your second trimester. Speak to your doctor before your next pregnancy

If a weak cervix is detected earlier a cerclage will be done to prevent a spontaneous abortion.

Causes may vary, speak to your doctor about it
