Prenatal Ultrasounds
What is Cervical Screening During Pregnancy?
Cervical screening during pregnancy is an important assessment used to identify the risk of preterm labour or premature birth. It mainly involves measuring the cervical length through ultrasound to check whether the cervix is shortening or opening earlier than expected during pregnancy.
The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that remains closed during most of the pregnancy and opens naturally during labour. In some women, cervical changes may happen too early, increasing the risk of delivering the baby before full term. Early cervical screening helps detect these risks in time and allows proper medical management for a healthier pregnancy outcome.

How Cervical Screening Supports Pregnancy Care
Cervical screening plays an important role in preventing complications related to premature birth.
