Q1. The length of cervix is
A. 3.5 cm
B. 4.5 cm
C. 2.5 cm
D. None of the above.
Correct Answer: C. 2.5 cm.
Explanation:Cervical length refers to how long the cervix is, usually measured by transvaginal ultrasound.
Typical Cervical Length
Situation Normal / Expected Length
Non-pregnant women About 2.5–3.5 cm (25–35 mm)
During early pregnancy (1st trimester) About 30–50 mm
Mid-pregnancy (18–24 weeks) ≥ 25 mm is generally considered normal
Short cervix < 25 mm before 24 weeks increases risk of preterm birth
Why Cervical Length Matters in Pregnancy
• A shorter cervix can indicate risk of preterm labor
• Doctors may monitor cervical length if there is history of early delivery or symptoms like contractions or pressure.
How It Is Measured
• Best measured by transvaginal ultrasound
