A Cervical Length Scan is a specialised transvaginal ultrasound that helps assess whether your cervix is maintaining its proper length and function. This early insight allows your healthcare provider to plan any necessary interventions to protect your pregnancy.
Why Might You Need a Cervical Length Scan During Pregnancy?
During pregnancy, the cervix plays a critical role in keeping your baby safe. It acts as a strong, protective barrier that remains closed, long, and firm until your body is ready for labour. However, for some women, especially those with certain risk factors, the cervix may begin to shorten or open too early, which can lead to late miscarriage or premature birth.

👶 Who Should Consider a Cervical Length Scan? 👶
This scan is particularly recommended if:
- You’ve had one or more late miscarriages (after 14 weeks)
- You have a history of premature labour
- You’ve previously had a cervical cerclage (stitch)
- You’re carrying twins or multiples
- You’ve undergone cervical surgery (such as LLETZ or cone biopsy for abnormal smear results)
- Your consultant has concerns about cervical insufficiency
For women with these risk factors, regular cervical monitoring can make a crucial difference in the management and success of the pregnancy.
🔍 Why Cervical Monitoring Matters
A cervix measuring less than 25mm before 24 weeks is considered short and may require additional support. Depending on the results of your scan, your obstetrician may recommend:
- Follow-up monitoring scans
- Cervical cerclage (a surgical stitch to keep the cervix closed)
- Corticosteroid injections (to strengthen your baby’s lungs in case of early delivery)
- Adjustments to your care plan and activity level
Our scan offers early reassurance and helps your healthcare team make informed decisions to support a safe and healthy pregnancy.
