A Cervical Length Scan is a specialised transvaginal ultrasound that measures the length and condition of your cervix during pregnancy. This early insight allows your healthcare provider to identify potential risks, such as preterm labour or late miscarriage, and take proactive steps to protect both you and your baby.
Protect Your Pregnancy - a focused ultrasound assessment designed to measure the length of the cervix and identify early signs that may increase the risk of preterm birth. This scan provides valuable reassurance during pregnancy by helping clinicians monitor cervical changes early, allowing timely advice or intervention when needed and giving you greater peace of mind as your pregnancy progresses.
The cervix serves as a protective barrier during pregnancy, staying long, firm, and closed until your body is ready for labour. In some pregnancies, particularly for women with certain risk factors, the cervix may shorten or open prematurely, increasing the likelihood of:
Late miscarriage (after 14 weeks)
Preterm labour or premature birth
A Cervical Length Scan provides early detection, giving your medical team time to intervene and support a safe, healthy pregnancy.
