Question
Around the seventh to eighth month of pregnancy, the doctor mentioned a thin cervix. What does this mean? Is there a risk of premature birth? Do I need to go to the hospital for a check-up?
Answer
Hello, the cervix gradually dilates during the childbirth process until it is fully open. If, due to weak contractions or other reasons, a vaginal delivery cannot be achieved and the cervix is not fully dilated, a cesarean section may be necessary. If you have had a cesarean section in the past, during the late stages of pregnancy, the scar tissue of some individuals may become thin. In such cases, close observation is required, and pregnancy may need to be terminated prematurely at an appropriate time. It is recommended that you follow your doctor’s advice and undergo necessary examinations to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.
