Today when I had my ultrasound the lady
measured something and took a pic and when
she left the room I looked at the screen
and it said "cervix 3.00cm" im curious if
that means im 3 cm dilated? Or if its
something comleltly differnt, on the
bottom part of the ultrasound immage there
was a drawn picture of a preg lady and it
had a line from the belly button to the
bottom of her crotch... So I unno if that
ment anything but im curious.. What do
you girls think?

That could be how thick it is in inches or
centimeters.
They would've told yo if you were 3cm
dialated!!! Jesus..I hope so!!
I'm sure all is good! I know it's hard
*not* to fret...But don't worry too
much!!!

I would take much notice of the readings
on the ultrasound. They are more to do
with the direction of the cervix as a
regards to the ultrasound monitor itself.
It can sometimes mean the zoom ratio etc.
If you are curious you should ask your
midwife/doctor at your next ultrasoung to
see if you have dilated.

An ultrasound doesn't check for dilation
of the cervix. Your doctor/midwife has to
manually do that.
It sounds to me like it is the length of
your cervix. Which they can check via
ultrasound.
I hope that helps.

Next time just keep tapping her on the
shoulder over and over again and say
"wuddya doin wuddya doin wuddya doin" they
should freaking tell you what is going on!

yes that would definatley make sense. The
average cervix length is 3 and 5 cms in
length, with one end at the top of the
vagina (the external os) and the other end
inside the womb (the internal os).
So it probably was your cervix length.
I'm really not with it today for a
midwifery student

Unfortunately sonographers are not allowed
to talk about your sono. It is against
the law they are not doctors they could be
sued if they gave you incorrect
information, that is why they say that
after it is reviewed all the info will be
sent over to your doctor. I know I hated
it to especially when they kept telling me
that I had echogenic bowel and etc. When
I was preggo. But I agreee they need
whoever reads them to do the sonos so that
we know what is going on and not waiting
until the doc get the info

Yeah, this was my last ultrasound so I
wont have to deal with the whole lot of
nothingness.. Lol.. When I went to a
differnt city for an ultrasound the guy
who did it talked to me and explained
things and told me my baby is a boy.. And
our hospital in my town is run by a
cathlic church so they cant tell us the
sex and stuff which I think is completly
ridculous

That would be the length of your cervix ,
if u were dilated they would have said u
are such and such dilated , my dr last
appt said iwas 2cm but I am pretty sure
she was referring to my cervix cuz the
appt after that she said my cervix was
short wich im guessing it must have
shortened since my last appt cuz she said
I had to take it easy , just in case your
wondering no well as far as I know im not
really high risk they track the baby by
ultrasound they dont measure your belly or
listen for the heartrate they do the heart
on ultrasound when they measure the babys
growth and check your cervix at every
appointment, im living overseas and going
to a german hospital not an american one
so they track a pregnancy alot different
then the states.
Before I was unaware about your cervix
being a certain length till I looked up
about it cuz I had no idea what the dr
was talking about when she said I was 2cm
but everything was good cuz im only 28
weeks then telling me my cervix was short
wich is basically same as thinned out etc
but they use diff wording here .
