Elite Community Ultrasound (ECU) is delighted to offer this Cervical Length scan for all pregnant women who are 16 years or above and in pregnancy between 16weeks and 37weeks.
What is a cervical length scan? This scan is to measure the length/size of the cervix (the neck of the womb) from its internal os (internal opening) to the external os (external opening that connects to vagina). Cervical length can become shorter too early in pregnancy, which increases the risk of premature labour and a premature birth.
What is preterm labour? If a woman goes into labour before she’s 37 weeks pregnant, it’s referred to as preterm labour or premature labour. The earlier premature birth occurs, the more serious the baby’s health risks.
